Skip To My Lou Quilt Pattern - Throw Quilt in Berry Market

Meet Skip To My Lou, a fun and unique quilt pattern that is charm square and layer cake friendly!  This featured quilt was made with the Berry Market fabric collection by Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake Designs.

The Skip To My Lou quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

Say Hello to Skip To My Lou!

Skip To My Lou is a modern design that is quick, easy, and of course, fun to quilt with!  I made this quilt in the Throw size.  The design echoes out from the center of the quilt, making for a truly eye-catching quilt.  Simply grab your favorite precuts, or cut the number of squares indicated in the pattern, add in a light and a dark contrasting fabric, and you're all set!

Oh, Those Sizes!

You know how much I love to spoil you with all of the different size options for you to choose from.  The Skip To My Lou design includes five sizes - Baby, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.  Whatever quilt size you want to make, we've got you covered!

The Skip To My Lou quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

Sweet Sweet Fabrics!

Berry Market is a favorite fabric collection of mine by Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake Designs.  This collection includes a variety of prints in pinks, mint green, and a deeper teal/green called Stargazer.  This is such an elegant and cheerful collection!

The Berry Market collection is right here in our shop!

Choosing your own fabrics for Skip to My Lou is really simple.  While hues that stand out from the background and accent fabrics are ideal, it seems that a variety of hues adds sparkle to the quilt, so don't be afraid to use a few darker prints mixed with some lighter prints even if they are similar hues to the background and accent fabrics.  In this quilt, the Stargazer and Red prints in the collection are darker than the accent fabric, and they still totally work in the design!

Longarm Machine Quilting

The longarm quilting design I used is Wave on Wave in Superior Omni thread in bright white.  This was quilted on my HandiQuilter Amara with ProStitcher.

This quilt top was made by Kare Ybarra and quilted and bound by me.

Picket Fence Square Throw Quilt in Berry Market

Today I am sharing a new quilt in one of my most popular quilt patterns - Picket Fence!  Picket Fence is a multi-sized quilt pattern that includes fabric requirements using 10" layer cake squares, fat quarters, or a combination of 10" squares and strips in the bed quilt sizes.

You'll love that you don't have to cut your favorite fabrics into small pieces, and you can let them shine in this quilt pattern!  The pieced blocks set with the large squares of fabric is a striking symmetrical design.

The Picket Fence quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

Meet Picket Fence

The Picket Fence pattern allows for a lot of creative freedom.  The blocks can be oriented in different directions to change the look of the quilt, and both of these layout options are included in the quilt pattern.

This design looks great in many fabric collections.  Sweet pastels or bold, masculine prints are perfect for Picket Fence.  This way, you can make a quilt for everyone on your quilt-it list!  Using some of your favorite fabrics in a variety of hues in the smaller pieced blocks can make your quilt sparkle even more!  The pieced blocks are a great place to use some lighter prints.

7 Sizes Included

Picket Fence includes 7 sizes - Baby, Square Throw, Rectangle Throw, Twin, Square Queen, Rectangle Queen, and King.  With all the different sizes you can choose from, you should be covered for just about any project!  I love doing all of the math, so I've done it for you, and you can select your fabric and pick up the pattern and begin cutting without doing any math calculations to change the quilt size.

The Picket Fence quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

Berry Sweet Fabrics!

These charming fabrics are from the Berry Market fabric collection by Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake Designs.  I love this collection so much!  It includes a variety of prints in pinks, mint green, and a deeper teal/green called Stargazer.  It is so bright and cheery to look at!  The background fabric is Confetti Cotton Bright White by Riley Blake Designs.

Primrose - a design you'll love!

Primrose is a simple 2-1/2" Jelly Roll friendly pattern that offers two methods of assembly - Strip and Traditional Piecing.  Strip Piecing sews together strips of fabric which are then cut into segments and sewn together again.  This method requires using more background fabric in some of the size options.  Traditional Piecing is recommended for those seeking a relaxing and simple project sewing individual squares together.
