Blessings Throw Quilt in Twilight Creatures - a New Quilt Pattern!

I am pleased to share a new quilt pattern with you!  This pattern is called Blessings - a quick and easy, fat quarter friendly design that is perfect for confident beginners and goes together quickly and easily.  

This pattern is part of the Donation Quilt Series, which is a group of quilt patterns that are made from large blocks with large pieces and simple designs, so they're cost effective and quick and great for donation to others in need.

Blessings includes 6 sizes and is fat quarter friendly.  This pattern works for directional prints, as long as no more than half of the FQs are directional.  The pattern includes guidance on using directional prints.

Meet Blessings!

The Blessings quilt pattern is the third pattern in the Donation Quilt Series, which features designs with large blocks and simple piecing for a quick and easy finish.  Now you can make quilts at a faster rate!  If you are looking to make quilts to donate to those in need, Blessings is a great design to help you make more quilt more quickly!

Directional Prints Work!

This fabric collection has a number of directional prints, and Blessings easily works for easily these prints, as long as not more than half of the fat quarters are directional.  The pattern gives tips on using directional prints, if you prefer that they all face one direction.  I usually don't mind if prints all face the same direction, but I was careful on this quilt to be sure that they do.  I just haven't sewn with such cute deer, foxes, hedgehogs, and owl before!  I am usually more picky that a directional backing faces the top of a quilt, even though this sometimes requires a bit more backing fabric to make this happen.

Twilight Creatures Fabric

For this Throw size quilt, Twilight Creatures by Natalia Juan Abello for Riley Blake Designs is used in the quilt top, backing, and binding.  Included are many wildlife creatures like foxes, deer, raccoons, hedgehogs, and owls in their natural landscape.  About half of this collection is directional prints, which work for the Blessings quilt pattern with some preplanning.  The quilt pattern includes instructions for how to use directional prints.

Longarm Machine Quilting

The longarm quilting design I used for this quilt is Top Knot in Omni Superior Thread in Silver.  This was quilted on my HandiQuilter Amara with ProStitcher.  Because of the directional backing, the quilting design was stitched out from top to bottom rather than side to side.

Scary Good Fabrics

Looking for something a little more spooky to work with?  Blessings is the perfect design to use for making a festive quilt for any holiday season!  I made this quilt in the Throw size using a blend of Halloween prints from various fabric collections with many of the prints from the Beggar's Night collection by Sandy Gervais for Riley Blake Designs.  A number of the prints glow in the dark!

This design allows you to show your creativity, so I encourage you to use your own mix of your favorite bold and beautiful scraps to create your Blessings quilt.  Mixing lights with medium and dark hued fabrics works perfectly in the Blessings pattern.

You and Me, that's the dream

This quilt was made in the Twin size using the You and Me fabric collection by Sandy Gervais for Riley Blake Designs.  This is such a sweet and charming design filled with hearts, flowers, and intricate designs in red, pink, and aqua hues.  The details are simply exquisite!  The background is Confetti Cotton Solid in Cloud, and the binding and backing are prints from the collection.
