Today I'm sharing the Windblown quilt pattern, this one is in I ♥ Ombre and is super sweet!
Windblown is a modern quilt made with HSTs and paired with two accent fabrics for a fun and easy quilt. The Windblown quilt pattern is brand new in the pattern shop.
Windblown Pattern Features
Meet Windblown - the newest pattern in the Busy Hands Quilts pattern line! This pattern is perfect for using fat quarters and two accent fabrics.
The accent fabrics in this quilt are very subtle - one is Cloud and the other is the lightest print in the I ♥ Ombre collection. The darker accent can be a little more colorful, as long as the print fabrics in the "wind" still stand out against it.
As is my goal with all quilt patterns, Windblown includes as many sizes as work out mathematically, and the score for Windblown is EIGHT quilt sizes!
So Many Quilt Sizes!
This quilt is the Large Throw size, which allows the "wind"
You'll love that this quilt pattern includes 8 sizes from Baby to King, so you won't have to do any math to create the perfect size for you.
- Baby 42" x 48"
- Lap 48" x 60"
- Throw 54" x 72"
- Large Throw 60" x 72"
- Twin XL 72" x 96"
- Square Queen 96" x 96"
- Rectangular Queen 96" x 108"
- King 108" x 108"
Those Sweet Fabrics!
I made this quilt from a bundle of I ♥ Ombre by V and Co for Moda Fabrics that I had been hoarding for just the right project. I have a FQ of each print left, and it's perfect for the Quilty Cabins pattern in the Throw size.
This collection is also known as I Heart Ombre. The hearts are gold metallic on ombre in purples, pinks, peaches, and red. The "light" accent is Confetti Cotton in Cloud, and the "dark accent" is the lightest print in the I ♥ Ombre collection, which has a background similar to Cloud even though the fabrics are made by different manufacturers.
I Made an Oopsie!
I made a big oopsie when assembling this quilt, and it's so hidden that I'm not sure it would be noticed if I didn't confess. The blocks in every other row are oriented incorrectly. The placement of the two accent fabrics is supposed to be swapped in the blocks in every other row, and I didn't swap them at all. By golly, I totally forgot until it was too late! Fortunately, with these fabrics it's not really noticeable.
For comparison, below is an image showing how the pattern is written. The accent fabrics are supposed to rotate 45 degrees in the blocks in every other row.
The Windblown quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.
Longarm Machine Quilting
I found the perfect heart digital longarm quilting design over at Sew Shabby Pantos - it's called Heart Song. I love the hearts and swirls and half Baptist fans. This design stitched out really nicely in natural white thread on my Handi Quilter Amara with ProStitcher.
Sew Shabby Pantos has truly unique digital longarm designs at a great price when you join The Panto Club. I suggest checking it out if you have a computerized longarm. (This plug is not sponsored, just my opinion).
For the binding, I cut strips from the pieces left of each I ♥ Ombre fat quarter and created a scrappy binding.
