Welcome Home Quilts!

A lot of my business is working with different fabric companies designing quilts using their fabrics.  This means that I'm frequently designing and making the sample quilts many many months in advance of when the fabric arrives in our local quilts shops. 

Today I'm excited to welcome home 3 of my quilts that I last saw in January 2019 - which means I actually designed and made them back in 2018!  Wow, that's a long time.   All three of these quilts were designed using Island Batik fabrics.   They were on display at Spring Quilt Market in May 2019 in Kansas City and then spent the past year touring the country, visiting quilt shops and helping sell the fabric collections. 

Here is a quick video as I unopen the box 




I have patterns available for all three quilts. 

Spiked Punch - who doesn't love this quilt just because of it's name :) 
The digital download is available in my Etsy shop.

Seaside Runner is a quick and easy runner that is perfect for everyday use.  Make one for every season!  The digital download is available in my Etsy shop. 

And finally, the show stopping Pearly Dresden wall hanging.  This one turns heads and will be the envy of your quilting friends.   The digital download is available in my Etsy shop. 

And if you prefer a print pattern, just send me a message at masterpiecequilting@gmail.com and I will get one in the mail to you.  They are priced at $11.00 each with free shipping :) 

Christmas Sweater Quilt in Annie's Christmas Quilting

Yes, it's only June and I'm already sharing Christmas quilts!  Well, 2020 has been a crazy year so far, so why not!  

I'm super excited to share my Christmas Sweater quilt pattern with you.  

I just got the quilt back from the publisher so it's fair game for me to share!  As you may not know, I actually designed the quilt many months ago and had to keep it under wraps, sharing only the tiniest of photos while I was making it so as not to give away the design before it's time :) 

Christmas Sweater is one of the quilts in Annie's new Christmas Quilting book.  There are so many amazing quilts in this book, you will definitely want to purchase this one.  You can see all the quilts by clicking on this link.

I'm a huge fan of row quilts.  They seem to go together faster than traditional layouts with borders and I'm for any quilt that goes together fast!   

This fun pattern with it's bold red poinsettia inspired blocks is perfect for snuggling under while watching movies. While it's a Christmas quilt, this design isn't so "Christmasy" that it has to be put away the day the tree goes out the door.   

To make the quilt, I used Soft & Bright batting from The Warm Company and a 45-degree Diamond Ruler from EZ Quilting. 

I would love to see the version you make!  Be sure to share it with me on my Masterpiece Quilting facebook page or on IG: @masterpiecequilting.

Starry Sky - New Fabric, New Look

For today's New Fabric, New Look pattern I'm re-imaging my Starry Sky pattern.  This pattern is one of my favorites (aren't they all!) and I've made it in two different colorways.   Starry Sky is available as print version in my Etsy shop.  (Digital will be coming soon!) 

First is the dark background version which mimics the night sky with shimmery stars. 

After I made the first quilt, I wanted to remake it as a competition quilt but with a white background where I could put all sorts of fancy custom quilting.  Thus the Aqua & White version was created. 

For the re-image, I used Hope Johnson's brand spanking new Dusk til Dawn collection for Cotton + Steel fabrics.  It will be shipping to stores in June 2020, so be sure to ask your favorite quilt shop to carry it. 

I'm super excited share Hope's collection with everyone.  Hope and I met a few years at a surface pattern design retreat and became insta-friends.  You see more of her work at byhopejohnson.com

Sunburst Strips & Squares - New Fabric, New Look

In honor of Spring Quilt Market that would have been held in-person this week, I'm sharing one of my patterns each day that I have re-imaged into a newly released fabric. 

Today I'm re-imaging my popular Sunburst Strips & Squares pattern with Bonnie Christine's new Her & History Collection for Art Gallery Fabrics.   Bonnie's soft palette and romantic style gives this pattern an entirely new look! 

If you aren't familiar with Sunburst Strips & Squares, I've made it in numerous colorways.  And if you are crushing on this precut 2-1/2" strip friendly pattern as much as I do, it is available in both print and digital versions in my Etsy Shop. 

As you can see, the fabric selection completely changes the look of the quilt! 

This is the autumnal version which I do have a few kits available in my Etsy shop.  They are value prices with free shipping.  I'd love to find them new homes since I don't have any shows scheduled this year. 

This version was made with a Moda jelly roll of Pat Sloan's Bits & Bobbins collection paired with a mint solid. 

And finally, the cover quilt which was made using Timeless Treasure's fabrics. 

Tomorrow I will have another one of my patterns re-imaged with a different fabric collection.  You won't want to miss that one!
