Into the Woodlands Quilt
Quilt Pattern Release!
My Into the Woodlands quilt pattern was released today! Here is why I loved designing and making this quilt.
The fabric line “Woodland Keeper” by Maureen Cracknell with Art Gallery Fabrics was my main inspiration. The colors, the cute little woodland animals in the “Awaken Forest Fern” fabric that I used for the backing, and the whole aesthetic helped me design these blocks.
This quilt has an on-point feel for one of the two main blocks without having the whole quilt on point.
There are a lot of pieces in this quilt, but my instructions make it come together quickly. Chain piecing the eight at-a-time half-square triangles and four at-a-time flying geese in advance helps the flow of the block construction go more rapidly.
This quilt makes any style of fabric shine. Love solids? Fantastic. Love prints? Sure, we got you. Fancy batiks? Perfect! A combination of everything is your style? This quilt can handle it.
A Versatile Design :
I have been quilting for over 20 years, and I know that only some people want to buy a pattern that comes in just one size. Now granted, some patterns lend themselves to be just one size; they are a unique design/construction that screams, I only want to be a square and 62” x 62”. But as a designer, I try to publish designs that can be at least two sizes or more.
The “Into the Woodlands” pattern provides directions for a baby 49” x 49”, Lap 64” x 64”, and Queen 94” x 109”. If desired, a clever quilter can adapt this pattern to make a table runner or a king-size.
