Waterfall II Throw Quilt in Purples!

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


Today I'm sharing a Waterfall II quilt in the Throw size, made in beautiful purples!  I hear from so many of you that Purple is your favorite!

The Waterfall II quilt pattern has unique setting triangles that finish the design clear out to the edges for a truly beautiful finish.

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


What is the difference between the Waterfall and Waterfall II quilt patterns??


Waterfall II is designed with a single colorway and uses 7 fabrics total.  The original Waterfall quilt pattern (shown in the picture below) is designed with two colorways, one on each side of the log cabin block, and uses 13 fabrics total.  



Those Beautiful Purple Fabrics!


This quilt is made with the purple and black fabrics in the Coco fabric collection by Michael Miller, a collection that was new about a year ago.  This collection is a rarity in that there are five hues in each colorway in the collection, which is perfect for Waterfall!  There are eight different colorways in this collection - Purples, Pinks, Red/Oranges, Greens, Teals, Aquas, and Blues.  Most collections do not have this many hues in a colorway.  You will find Coco right here.



Two Sizes - Throw and Queen


Waterfall II includes the Throw and Queen sizes.  Most of my quilt patterns include all of the sizes from Baby to King, whatever works out mathematically.  I get a lot of requests for this pattern in the King size, but it wasn't included in the quilt pattern because it ends up 119" square when another row of blocks is added to the side and bottom.

Longarm Quilting Design


The digital longarm quilting design is Ribbon Curls, one of my favorite quilting designs.  The thread color is a medium purple, done on my Handi Quilter Fusion with Pro Stitcher.


This pattern features 6 fabrics in a single colorway and a background fabric, typically black.  Of course, you can also use any combination of colors, such as the Fire quilt Deanna made with purple, red, orange, and yellow.  Check that quilt out right here.
