Diamond Dance Quilt Pattern Cover Update and Sale!

One of my goals this summer is to get all of my quilt pattern covers updated so they all have the same look.  My plan is to work on one per day.  It's a lofty goal, so wish me luck!

The next one is Diamond Dance which comes in 7 sizes - Wall Hanging, Baby, Small Lap, Large Lap, Twin, Queen, and King.  This quilt pattern is Layer Cake friendly.  

SALE!

So why don't we celebrate Diamond Dance's new cover with a sale?!?  This pattern will be on sale until I get the next pattern cover updated.  You'll find it right over here.

Please note that if you purchase the paper Diamond Dance pattern, you will receive the old cover until they are sold out, but no worries - it's all the same inside.  The PDF pattern will include the new cover.

Don't forget - Diamond Dance is on sale until I revise another pattern cover - and that will be very soon!  Get your copy right here!

Busy Hands Quilts' Best of 2018 Quilts!

2018 was a super busy year for me.  Sixty quilts made their way from an idea and fabric to a completed quilt.  I have many favorites among them so deciding how to narrow them down to 5 quilts took some thought.  

My Best of 2018 list includes goals that I met in 2018.

Printed Patterns!

Diamond Dance was the first quilt pattern I had printed.

Wholesale Quilt Patterns!

Picket Fence was my first pattern sold wholesale.  I now have 9 patterns selling wholesale to quilt shops.

Craftsy's 2018 Quilt Along!

Can you imagine my surprise and delight when my quilt design, Glorious Dawn, was selected as Craftsy's 2018 Quilt Along?!?  A dream come true!  This is Glorious Dawn in Botanical Hydrangea,  the quilt I made for the pattern.  It's a queen size at 94" square.  The quilt kit comes in 3 colorways in 3 different sizes each.

New Patterns!

Most Stunning Quilt I Made in 2018!

Whirl is a paper pieced quilt pattern.  While I didn't enjoy the process of making the quilt because I struggle with the visualization part of paper piecing, the quilt is truly stunning.  This quilt sold in my quilt shop.

My Favorite Quilt of 2018!

A Rosewood Lane lap quilt in True Colors.  I went OOC (that's Out Of Control) when making the blocks and have enough blocks left to make a queen size quilt and a baby or lap quilt!  I will be making a queen size for our bedroom this winter.  Rosewood Lane is a pattern of mine that comes in 6 sizes from wall hanging to king and is Fat Quarter friendly.

Thanks for taking this trip down memory lane with me!  If you'd like to see every quilt I made in 2018 in one place, hop over to my Instagram feed, where I've been featuring the 60 quilts I made in 2018.  You do NOT need an Instagram account to look at them.

Diamond Dance Pattern Release! | Finished or Not Friday Linky Party!

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

My Finish is a twin size Diamond Dance!  This is my newest pattern, made from mostly Miss Kate by Bonnie and Camille with a few other B&C collections thrown in, as well as Gooseberry by Vanessa Goertzen.

This pattern is a great use of both scraps, yardage, or a fabric collection.  Grab a dark accent and go!

Robert Kaufman Spot On Metro in crisp white and bold red were a perfect match.  I stock this wide backing in my pattern shop on Etsy.

Quilt Stats:

Pattern:  Diamond Dance

Size:  70" x 88"

Fabric:  Mostly Miss Kate by Bonnie and Camille, with other B&C collections and Gooseberry by Vanessa Goertzen.

Batting:  Hobbs Heirloom cotton/poly

Backing:  Robert Kaufman Spot On Metro in Red, available in my Etsy pattern shop.

Quilting:  Wandering Spirals in white thread on Gratitude.

Here is Diamond Dance in wall hanging size in Island Batik fabrics.  These fabrics were provided to me by Island Batik as part of their IB Ambassador program.

Diamond Dance includes 7 sizes from wall hanging to king and is Accuquilt friendly though specific instructions are not given for it.  

Diamond Dance will be my first pattern to be released as a paper pattern shortly!  I'm jumping into the world of UPC symbols, bags, shipping, and wholesale distribution!

The bed sizes are made with bigger blocks so they go together faster than making a ton of smaller blocks!

GIVEAWAY WINNER!

Last Week's Feature!

Another fantastic quilt from last week is Flitter by Melissa at Happy Quilting!  This fabric and pattern came in the Sew Sampler Box for January.  If you love a surprise coming in the mail, you might just love a Sew Sampler Box subscription!  It's my favorite of the ones I've tried, and you can read my review here.

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.
