Journey Throw Quilt in Star Spangled Beauty!

I am very pleased to share another finished Journey quilt with you!  Journey is a modern quilt pattern that allows your favorite prints to shine!  It is the perfect pattern for you to sit back and quilt your troubles away with.  

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

Bright, Beautiful, and Bold Fabric

This Journey quilt was made using the Star Spangled Beauty fabric collection by Maywood Studio.  This is a stunning collection of florals, stars, tone-on-tones, ditties, and checks in an array of blues, reds, and creamy white.  The fabric for this quilt was provided for me by Maywood Studio, and they are featuring the fabric collection in the Journey quilt pattern.

I love creating quilts that work well for Quilt of Valor - a program that is dedicated to making quilts for veterans.  If you know someone who has served in the military that you would like to make a quilt for, Journey could be just the pattern you're looking for!  

The Sixth Journey Quilt!

This is the sixth quilt sample I made in Journey, each one in its own unique fabric.  I have so many wonderful fabrics to choose from that work beautifully with this pattern, it's hard to narrow them down.  So, as you can probably imagine, this design has been keeping me busy!

Here are the links to three of the Journey quilts - the other two haven't been blogged yet!

    Throw in Faraway Florals

    Lap in Boundless

    Throw in Hudson

9 Sizes Available

As you know, I love to spoil you with different size options so you don't have the added stress of running out of material.  The Journey quilt pattern includes 9 sizes - Baby, Lap, Throw, Large Throw, Twin, Full, Square Queen, Rectangular Queen, and King.  The math is already done for you, making the cutting and piecing process easier.  This finished quilt was made in the Throw size, which measures approximately 54" x 72".

Journey on!

Journey is the second official quilt pattern in our Donation Quilt Series, which features quick and easy designs with large blocks and easy piecing, so you can make more quilts to donate to those in need.

The Journey design uses an efficient piecing method to help you eliminate fabric waste.  The design is also Fat Quarter and 1/4-yard friendly, so you'll be able to finish your quilt in no time!

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

Longarm Machine Quilting

The quilting design I used for this quilt is Stars and Stripes 2 by Celine Spader in Superior Omni Natural White thread.  This was all done on my HandiQuilter Amara with ProStitcher.

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

Lovely Fabrics

This is one of four Harmony quilts I ended up making!  There are so many fabrics to choose from and everything goes with this design!  The main fabric for this Throw sized quilt is a print from the Venice collection by Robert Kaufman.  The 5 coordinates are Color Stories Water Colors by Stephanie Ryan for P and B Textiles.  These fabrics blended together so beautifully, I just love how the quilt turned out!  

Thinking outside the box of white, cream, gray or black background colors, this quilt features Kona Cotton Julep as the background.  It sure works perfectly!  Julep was Kona's Color of the Year in 2024.

We have ONE quilt kit in these exact fabrics in the shop.  Grab it right here.

Longarm Machine Quilting

This quilt was longarm quilted on my Handi Quilter Amara with Pro Stitcher in Superior Omni mint green thread.  

The backing and binding are a Water Color fabric that matches the prints on the quilt top.

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

Lovely Fabrics

The fabric used to make this adorable Baby sized Harmony quilt is Moonchild by Fran Gullick for Riley Blake Designs.  I selected on the the pinks and purples from the collection.  The background fabric is Confetti Cotton Cloud.  

I didn't have any coordinating Moonchild yardage or anything else that matched in my stash, but I was able to make leftover fat quarters work.  I used 6 FQs total, joining two matching FQs together along their short sides, making three sections, and then these three sections were joined together to create a backing piece.  The scrappy binding is made from leftover scraps from the quilt top.

Longarm Machine Quilting

The longarm quilting design is Flower Spray by Hermione Agee, digitized by Patricia Ritter, quilted on my Handi Quilter Amara with Pro Stitcher in Superior Omni Natural White thread.
