Summer on the Porch Quilts by Customers!

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


Today's post is to share some of the beautiful quilts customers have made in the Summer on the Porch quilt pattern.  This design is perfect for fat quarter bundles you have in your stash, along with a contrasting background fabric. 

The Summer on the Porch quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.


A Queen size by Patty with many of the Garden Party prints by Bluprint which the original Summer on the Porch quilt was made with.



A King size by Cindy White for her sister.  Matching pillow shams are below. She designed and figured out how to make them on her own, as the pattern does not include directions to make pillow shams.




A Queen size by Janet S, with a border added.  The pattern does not include a border, but looks great and is a great idea!


The Summer on the Porch quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

Make It Scrappy Quilts by Customers!

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


Today I'm sharing customer quilts in the Make It Scrappy quilt pattern!  This quilt pattern is charm square and layer cake friendly and includes 6 sizes - Baby, Lap, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.

The Make It Scrappy quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.


This quilt by Margaret Egolf is made with Chirp fabric by Moda Fabrics on a background of Radiance by Whistler.  I think the color is Light Blue, but I'm not entirely sure.  I love the soothing colors in this quilt, and the longarm quilting design is perfect for the quilt.

Chirp fabric is available right here.





The Make It Scrappy quilt below is made by Rachel in purple batiks on a black background.  The crisp black background really lets the purples sparkle and shine in this beautiful quilt.



The Make It Scrappy quilt below is made by Wendy in Thomas the Tank Engine fabric.  The bold yellow and blue fabrics look great with the Thomas fabrics.  The Baby size quilt is a great way to learn how to sew a quilt with diagonal rows.  


The Make It Scrappy quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

Join Busy Hands Quilts on Facebook | Belle Quilts by Timeless Quilts

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


Quilting has always been a passion of mine.  The fact that I get to work with fabrics and create designs from the comfort of my home and be able to distribute them to fellow quilters like you has been an incredible opportunity.  A real dream come true!  I especially love the community that my job has helped to create.  

You may have heard that Busy Hands Quilts is also on Facebook.  We have created a Busy Hands Quilts Facebook Group where people are encouraged to share their finished quilts in my pattern and even its story.  I am amazed and grateful for the amount of activity I have seen so far in the group and beyond stunned with the amount of talent everyone possesses.  

I thought it would be worthwhile to start sharing some of these creations with you!  Perhaps sharing some of my customer's creations might inspire more people to create fun and unique quilts of their own.

The following quilts were made by Timeless Quilts.  And what an incredible job this person did!  Both quilts look immaculate!  The fabric that Timeless Quilts used for this pattern was Story Time by American Jane. 

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



The Belle Quilt Pattern


Belle is a multi-sized quilt pattern with a unique pieced border that perfectly complements the stunning quilt blocks in the center.  This pattern is precut friendly - it uses 10" layer cake squares.

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



Available in 4 sizes



The Belle quilt pattern includes 4 - yes 4 sizes!!  You too can create your very own Belle quilt.  This design would make a stunning addition to any modern home.  Your family will fall in love with this farmhouse quilt that you made with love and care.

We love getting sent finished quilts by people who use our patterns and we especially love getting the opportunity to share them with you!  If you are interested in sharing your work with us, please take a good quality photo of your finished quilt in our pattern and post it in the Busy Hands Quilts Facebook Group.  And don't just share pictures, share it's story!  I always love hearing how your quilt came to be and what drew you to its pattern.

Waterfall Quilt by Judy - a Double Size!

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


Today I'm sharing a stunning Waterfall quilt made by Judy in purples and greens!  She made this quilt for her granddaughter and cut it down to a Double from the Queen size.  Isn't it beautiful?!?


The Waterfall quilt pattern includes the Throw and Queen sizes and uses hues from two colorways to create an ombre effect.  The unique setting triangles carry the design clear out to the edges of the quilt.  Cutting off the edge of the quilt to make the quilt smaller does change the design, but as you can see, is still very effective.

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

Picket Fence Quilt - a King Size by Kaitlin!

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


This King size Picket Fence quilt is made by Kaitlin!  Isn't it beautiful!  

The fabrics used in this quilt are Flea Market by Lori Holt, available right here.


The Picket Fence quilt pattern includes 7 sizes and is layer cake friendly.  The larger sizes combine layer cakes with jelly roll strips.  

There are also two layout options included in the Picket Fence quilt pattern.  This quilt is shown with the pieced blocks alternating in every other row.  The second layout is all of the blocks placed vertically, which totally changes the look of the quilt and is also stunning!  Check out the vertical layout right here.

The Picket Fence quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

Waterfall II Fire Throw Quilt by Deanna!

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


Today I'm sharing more pictures of Deanna's Fire Waterfall II quilt!  It's a stunning quilt that inspired me to make a similar quilt, too!  

The Waterfall II quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.


Deanna sent me a picture of her quilt top at the encouragement of fellow quilters at a retreat she was attending.  It took my breath away, and I offered to quilt it for her so I could take pictures of it.  

The rest is history, as they say!

I found the perfect fabrics for a Fire version using metallic tone-on-tone prints.  You can see my version of the Fire quilt right here.  We also curated quilt kits, available right here.


The Waterfall II Quilt Pattern


The Waterfall II quilt pattern includes two sizes - Throw and Queen - because that's what worked out mathematically.  

The pattern includes unique setting triangles that finish the design clear out to the edges, for a truly stunning quilt.  Don't worry - the detailed instructions and illustrations guide you every step of the way.  


Longarm Quilting


The digital quilting design on this quilt is Cultivar, which resembles flames of fire.  So fun to quilt!  The thread is an orangy-red to blend in with most of the quilt top.  Quilted on my HandiQuilter Fusion with ProStitcher.

Fabrics


Deanna chose solids for her quilt top.  The backing is Widescreen in Black by Robert Kaufman, a wide backing fabric we try to keep in stock stock in The Wide Back Shop.  The binding is solid black.





The Waterfall II quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

Waterfall II Quilt Kits are available right here.  We have them in Fire, as well as Purples.
