Nautical News Quilt - Almost Amish - Back in Stock!

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


Nautical News in Almost Amish Solids has been restocked by Connecting Threads in the Twin size!  This is the third time it has been restocked because it sells so quickly.




Other Nautical News Quilts

This Nautical News Twin quilt was made by my niece when she was 12.  She cut all of the fabric and sewed it up by herself, and then I quilted it for her with Wandering Spirals.  Didn't she do a lovely job?!


I ♥ to figure out how to make quilt patterns into rainbows, and it was oh . so . easy with Nautical News.  Every square is a different Kona Cotton Solid.


This was my very first Nautical News, made as a custom order for Andrea, and using those directional fabrics made me realize the pattern needed directions for using directional fabrics, and it's in there!  This quilt was made before I had a computerized longarm, so the quilting is organic wavy stitching.


I bet you've got the perfect fabric in your stash for the Nautical News quilt pattern!

Bee Hive Lap Quilt | Finished or Not Friday Linky Party | GIVEAWAY!

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


Welcome to Finished or Not Friday where you can share your finished {or not} projects!

Today I have two finishes to share with you!  The first is a Bee Hive lap quilt, made from the May 2018 Sew Sampler Box.


The Sew Sampler Box came with a jolly bar of Pepper and Flax fabric.  I made more blocks than the pattern called for and added background fabric and a border to bring the quilt to a really nice lap size.


I found a Riley Blake print in my stash that coordinates perfectly with Pepper and Flax.  Unfortunately, I forgot to write down the name of the fabric collection.


Quilt Stats:
Pattern:  Bee Hive Quilt, pattern exclusive to the Sew Sampler Box.
Size:  55" x 62"
Fabric:  Pepper and Flax by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics
Backing:  A Riley Blake print
Batting:  Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 cotton/poly
Quilting:  Canna on Gratitude in white thread.

This quilt is for sale in my quilt shop!

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


Welcome to Finished or Not Friday where you can share your finished {or not} projects!

My Finish is a queen size Falling Stars in brights with a black background.  This was a made-to-order quilt in my quilt shop.  My customer purchased the lap size quilt which I had made for the pattern cover and loved it so much that she ordered an exact quilt in queen size!




Quilt Stats:

Pattern:   Falling Stars, get your copy here.
Size:  Queen size, 93" square
Fabric:  Kona Cotton.
Quilting:  Modern Hourglass quilting, done on Gratitude.
Batting:  Hobbs Heirloom 100% Cotton
Backing:  Kona Cotton extra wide in Royal

Kona Cotton Solids are 20% off as the Basic of the Month for July at Fat Quarter Shop, and ya rarely, if ever, find Kona Cotton for a lower price!




Last week's featured project!


If you want your quilt featured here next week, be sure to put a link back to this post in your post or sidebar, or tag @busyhandsquilts on Instagram, AND link directly to your blog post so I don't have to hunt it down.


And my scrap bin is full, so it's time for a giveaway! If you love scraps, this is for you; but if you're like me and don't love scraps, then this isn't for you.  This giveaway is a Medium Priority Mail box stuffed full.  If this pile doesn't stuff the box, I will add more.  It will barely be closeable, I assure you!  I ask that the winner pay the shipping which will be $13 at the most.  The closer you are, the less it costs with Regional Rate boxes.  US entries only.  Giveaway open until next Thursday.  Enter via the Rafflecopter below.
