Island Batik Natural Healing Fabric Collection


This quilt is made with the Island Batik Natural Healing fabric collection. This is a Signature Collection by Kathy Engle for Kari Nichols of Quilting Renditions.  The beautiful batik fabrics are a mix of tans, greens, blues, golds in leaf, tree, and tonal prints, and the background fabric on this quilt is a subtle cream basic from Island Batik.  

This brand-new fabric collection is featured in the Island Batik Spring and Summer 2023 Catalog on Pages 61-65.

Fabric for this quilt was provided by Island Batik.  This quilt top was sewn by Joanne Hubbard and quilted and bound by me.

The Natural Healing fabric collection is available right here.

Longarm Machine Quilting


This quilt was beautifully pieced by my professional sewist, Joanne Hubbard, and quilted and bound by me.  The quilting design is a leafy design, the name of which I can't pull out of the hat right now.  ;)  The backing is a fabric from the Island Batik Basics collection, and the binding is a print from the Natural Healing collection.

Cottage Love Quilt Pattern - a Wall Hanging in Painterly Petals by Robert Kaufman!

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


Today I'm sharing a bright and happy Cottage Love wall hanging quilt!  This is a quick and easy quilt pattern that you can make in a few hours for the Baby size, aka, Wall Hanging size.

Follow the Baby instructions to make the Wall Hanging size.  A hanging rod pocket is attached to this quilt for easy hanging, since I am thinking this fabric is not typical for a Baby quilt and is better suited as a Wall Hanging.

This bright watercolor quilt is made with fabrics from my stash - Painterly Petals by Robert Kaufman.  This is the older collection, and the newer collection is available right here.

Cottage Love is in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.


This is the quilt I made to test the pattern, and to make sure the pressing instructions were correct and that the magic that I claimed happened (every seam nesting) really did happen.  And it does!  

You may look at this quilt pattern and wonder why there are even nesting seams.  Hmm, it's not assembled in the way you might think.  It's a super quick and easy way to make this quilt, and there indeed are seams to nest.  :)


Stash-Friendly Quilt Pattern


The Cottage Love quilt pattern includes instructions for using 5" charm squares, 10" layer cake squares, and fat quarters (for Lap size and up).  All of these options make this a super stash-friendly quilt pattern, since you likely have these cuts in your stash already.

  • 5" charm squares
  • 10" layer cake squares
  • fat quarters
  • scrap bins (of course)
These Painterly Petals fabrics were in my stash, cut from a FQ bundle I had hoarded for several years and finally cut into last year to make a Through My Window quilt.  You can see that quilt right here.  The fabrics are so bright and colorful that making quilts with them is simply joyful!


All the Quilt Sizes


Cottage Love includes a huge number of quilt sizes - Seven!  There are two Throw sizes so you can make exactly the size that fits your purpose.  I love doing all of the math for you!

  • Baby / Wall Hanging  40" x 40"
  • Lap  40" x 50"
  • Throw  50" x 70"
  • Large Throw 60" x 80"
  • Twin  70" x 90"
  • Queen  100" x 100"
  • King  110" x 110"


The Cottage Love quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.




Those Bright Watercolor Fabrics!


This quilt is made with an older collection of Painterly Petals by Robert Kaufman which I had in my stash.  They have updated the collection, including a number of the same prints and also adding new prints.  It's even more spectacular than this collection, I think!  You'll find the new collection right here.

The deep blue background fabric is Kona Nightfall, a vivid navy that's not as dark as Kona Navy or Nautical.  This fabric is also used on the quilt back and binding.


Longarm Machine Quilting


The longarm quilting design used on this quilt is Belly Bop, a rounded version of Diagonal Bias Plaid.  Quilting is done in navy thread on my HandiQuilter Fusion with Pro-Stitcher.



The Cottage Love quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

Cottage Love Quilt Pattern - a Throw in Sweet Picnic!

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


Today I'm sharing a brand new quilt pattern - Cottage Love - a quick and easy design made from a variety of precuts or stash fabrics.  Every size you could want to make is included in the quilt pattern - 7 in all - and it's so fun to sew!  

With so many precut options that work for this pattern, this is a great stash quilt.  

The Cottage Love quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.


Cottage Love Quilt Pattern


Cottage Love quilt pattern includes all of the sizes - 7 in all - so no matter what size of quilt you have in mind, we've gotcha covered.  There are two Throw sizes, too, cause sometimes you want a quilt-for-two-to-snuggle quilt.  :)

  • Baby quilt size
  • Lap quilt size
  • Throw quilt size
  • Large Throw quilt size
  • Twin bed size
  • Queen bed size
  • King bed size
The quilt shown is the Throw size, made by Joanne, one of my professional sewists.

Cottage Love is quick and so easy and beginner friendly.  Every seam nests in the quilt top to help your piecing be more accurate and make assembly possible without pinning.  I love nesting seams, so I try to find a way to make them work in every pattern I write and give detailed pressing instructions to make it happen, when possible.


Precut Charms, Layer Cakes, or FQ Friendly


Cottage Love works great for using up you stash since it uses charm squares, layer cakes, or fat quarters.  It's easy to use your scrap bins - just cut the number of squares indicated in the pattern.


The Cottage Love quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.




Sweet Picnic Fabrics and Quilt Kits


This quilt is made with Sweet Picnic fabrics by Riley Blake.  It's such a sweet collection of purples, aquas, reds, and golds - with a variety of florals, ginghams, cherries, bicycles, and tone-on-tones prints.  They aren't colors I would have put together myself, but they play together so well.

Really so many fabrics would look great in this pattern.  It's suitable for reproduction and traditional fabrics, and farmhouse style fabrics like Sweet Picnic, but also modern fabrics such as varying shades of gray and black prints.

We have curated Cottage Love Throw Quilt Kits in Sweet Picnic.  You'll find them right here in our shop.


We also have Cottage Love Throw Quilt Kits in Daisy Fields.
 

Longarm Quilting


I sent this quilt off to be quilted by Megan of Best Quilting.  She used the Ribbon Curls design in cream thread.  She also runs HandiQuilter machines, as I do in my quilt studio.


Wide Backing


The wide backing used on this quilt is Dry Brush in Cream, available right here in The Wide Back Shop.  The subtle shading perfectly complements the quilt top.


The Cottage Love quilt pattern got its name from the picket fence look on the edges of the quilt.  I already have a Picket Fence quilt pattern (check it out here), so Cottage Love was chosen with the notion that a cottage might have a white picket fence.
