The Good Morning Throw Quilt in Dewdrop

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


Today I'm sharing a Good Morning in the neutral grays and black from the Dewdrop collection!  This quilt is quick and easy to make using strip piecing, with beautiful results.  This version uses five prints plus a background fabric.  This is the Throw size quilt, and the pattern includes all of the sizes, so you don't have to do any math.

The Good Morning quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.


The Good Morning quilt pattern


This is a quick and easy modern quilt pattern that is perfect for your family and friends who would only appreciate a modern quilt.  I think we all have someone like that in our family!  The simplicity of the design mixed with modern prints blend perfectly into the perfect gift idea for your modern peeps.

Good Morning is easy peasy with strip piecing.  Strip piecing means you won't be piecing together any individual squares, and the blocks go together quickly.  



Dewdrop Fabric Collection


This quilt is made with the grays and black fabrics in the Dewdrop fabric collection by Windham Fabrics.  All of the fabrics in this collection have small flecks of metallic gold in them for that extra sparkle.  The fabrics run across the entire rainbow in bold, beautiful colors and a range of neutrals.

The quilt in the background of the picture above is the Fire version of the Good Morning quilt pattern.  It's also made with Dewdrop fabrics, selecting the reds, oranges, and yellows from the collection, on a bold background of solid black.


All the Quilt Sizes


The quilt pattern includes 5 sizes - Baby, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.  I love doing the math, so I do it all for you, though you do have to count pieces.  :)  This quilt is the Throw size, and it is a generous Throw, covering the entire top of this Queen-sized bed.



Longarm Machine Quilting


The quilting design on this Good Morning quilt is Diagonal Bias Plaid in white thread, completed on my Handi Quilter Fusion with ProStitcher.  It's the perfect quilting to compliment a modern quilt.



The Good Morning quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands shop.

Customer Quilts in My Patterns!

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!



It's been a while since I've shared any finished quilts by customers in my patterns with you.  These individuals have so kindly went out of their way to share pictures of their finished quilts with us and I just have to share them with you!  I have a Busy Hands Quilts Facebook Group where likeminded quilters are encouraged to interact and share their quilts in my patterns.  I am so pleased with the amount of activity that has taken place and the amount of kind words that have been exchanged in the group as well.  If you haven't joined the Busy Hands Quilts Facebook Group yet, then please do so!  I would love to see you and your creations on the page!

Without further ado, here are three finished quilts by Busy Hands Quilts customers.

Finished Quilt by Pamela

This is the Mini Picket Fence quilt pattern which is written as a table runner/table topper, only Busy Hands Quilts customer Pamela Bartlett had her own vision and used this pattern to make an eye-catching quilt instead!  The fabric collection that was used for this quilt is Farm Sweet Farm Contempo for Benartex.

The size of this quilt is 76" x 89".  Pamela made the conscious decision to make this quilt larger due to the size of the quote fabrics, which is approximately 6 inches.

Finished Quilt by Pamela

Mini Picket Fence is a charm square quilt pattern that includes 4 sizes - Small and Large Table Runners and Small and Large Square Table Toppers.  The small quilts use one charm pack and the large quilts use two.

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

Finished Quilt by Sue

This finished quilt was done in my Waterfall quilt pattern by Sue Woodruff.  This quilt was made for her son to celebrate getting his Master's degree.  The colors represent his school colors.  I adore when people choose colors to represent an achievement of something!  This is Sue's first of four quilts in Busy Hands Quilts patterns.  Thank you for your continued support Sue and for sharing your finished quilt with us!

Waterfall is a multi-sized log cabin quilt pattern with unique setting triangles to finish the design clear out to the edge.  This pattern includes two sizes - Throw and Queen.

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

Finished Quilt by Lesia

The final quilt I am eager to share with you was made by Lesia Honchell Lawrence in the Mountain Peaks quilt pattern.  She decided to use navy backing with stitching of stars and waves.  I love the patriotic style that Lesia decided to use.  Everything fits so well together!

Mountain Peaks is a multi-sized log cabin quilt pattern with unique setting triangles to finish the design clear out to the edge.  Includes 4 sizes - Baby, Throw, Queen, and King.

The Mountain Peaks quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

Share the love!


I hope these quilters have inspired you to create your own one-of-a-kind masterpiece!  I love seeing finished quilts by people who use my patterns and I especially love getting the opportunity to share them with you!  If you are interested in sharing your work with us, please take a good quality photo of your finished quilt in my pattern and post it in the Busy Hands Quilts Facebook Group.  And don't just share pictures, share it's story!  I always love hearing how your happy quilt came to be, who it's for, and what drew you to its pattern.

Precut Friendly


This is a perfect scrappy quilt pattern!  The fabric was from red, white, and blue scraps that I placed on a pale aqua polka dot background.  I just love how these sort of things come together.  😊

The Through My Window quilt pattern goes together quickly with large blocks.  Use 5" charm squares, 10" layer cake squares or fat quarters.  If you don't have any of these precuts, don't sweat it!  Just use your stash and cut the number of pieces in the size indicated in the pattern.  The instructions are quick and easy to follow - ain't nothin' to it!  




Five Sizes Included


The Through My Window Quilt Pattern includes five sizes for you to work with.  Something that will surely keep your hands busy!

  • Baby
  • Throw
  • Twin
  • Queen
  • King



Make this design your very own!  Through My Window would make a stunning Quilt of Valor for a military service person.  The possibilities are endless!  Your only limit is your imagination.  Follow through with Through My Window!
