Belle Throw Quilt!

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



This is Belle - another finish from 2019 that hasn't been featured here on the blog!  This is made with a layer cake of Shelburne Falls by Denyse Schmidt.


This is a layer cake quilt pattern that goes together fairly quickly.  In order to have all of those squares for the border, the layer cake isn't simply cut into 5" squares; there wouldn't be enough.

This is the first time I have made a Seminole border in a quilt.  Well, I did make a sample border when I wrote the pattern to make sure I knew what I was talking about.  :)  Yes, the pattern was tested with a quilt sample being made, just not by me.  


Quilt Stats:
Pattern:  Belle
Size:  54" x 72"
All Fabric:  Shelburne Falls by Denyse Schmidt and Kona Cotton Snow
Batting:  Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 cotton/poly
Quilting:  Canna on Gratitude, my Handi Quilter Fusion with ProStitcher

This quilt has sold in my quilt shop, but I have many more like it for sale.  Shop here!

Love Multiplied Lap Quilt in Seaside | Finished or Not Friday Linky Party!

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


Welcome to Finished {or Not!} Friday where you can share what you're working on and see what others have been making!

So I did forget to schedule Finished {or Not!} Friday again.  It may have something to do with my worrying about this winter storm with snow.  :(  I worry because I have many peoples whom I ♥♥♥ on the road when classes aren't canceled.  That's nice word order, right??  It sounds like I love them only when classes aren't canceled.  ;)  

Another 2018 finish is a Love Multiplied Lap Quilt - a Plus Quilt set on point!  


This delightful fabric is Seaside by Tasha Noel for Riley Blake.  Last year I custom quilted a baby quilt for Andrea in this collection, and I fell in love with the fabric and somehow a stack of it made its way into my mailbox!


My Love Multiplied pattern has been completely updated and rewritten.  The pattern cover includes fabric requirements for Fat Quarters and Yardage, and inside the pattern is the Bonus information of how many identical charm packs will make each size.

Printed patterns will be available as soon as I can pick them up from the printer ... and will be available wholesale as well.

So why not have a sale?  Save on Love Multiplied in my pattern shop!

Quilt Stats:
Pattern:  Love Multiplied
Fabric:  Seaside by Tasha Noel for Riley Blake.
Size:  51" x 70"
Batting:  Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 cotton poly
Quilting:  Swirls on Gratitude in white thread

Queen Size Plus Quilt | Finished or Not Friday Linky Party

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 Plus quilt in grays and browns with a pop of brick red!  This is the first Plus quilt I've ever made.  I wrote the pattern Love Multiplied which is a Plus quilt set on point, but I had never made a traditional Plus quilt.


Some friends chose brown and gray as the colors for their wedding quilt and mentioned that their home also has an accent of brick red.  The brick red plus and binding create just the pop I was hoping they would.


The quilt came to life with the Maze quilting which took it from bland to ah-ha!


My new woven labels!


Quilt Stats:

Pattern:   Giant Plus quilt.
Size:  Queen 90" square.
Fabric:  Boundless Solids Earl Gray FQs and Mocha Madness FQs + a Kona red
Quilting:  Maze on Gratitude.
Batting:  Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 cotton/poly
Backing:  Robert Kaufman Spot On Metro Tan extra wide

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.
