Quilt pattern: Loophole
I’m really excited to introduce my latest quilt pattern, Loophole, which is in issue 55 of Love Patchwork & Quilting.
This quilt pattern is based on Sunday sketch #36, and I used a bunch of coordinating blue fabrics from several Art Gallery Fabrics ranges to make a scrappy version. I’d never used Art Gallery Fabrics before, but I definitely will again – they were so soft and had a lovely drape.
Love Patchwork & Quilting always features such great styling and photography, and I’m thrilled to see how good they made my quilt look. And… I’m even more thrilled to see the sneak peak of Loophole on the cover!!
Issue 55 goes on sale in the UK on 6 December.
[Edited to add: Digital copies of issue 55 are available from PocketMags.]
Sunday sketch #75
More ribbon-like diagonal strips this week, turning corners and flipping back on themselves.
It’s easy to change the look of this design by flipping the foreground and background strips (which probably would’ve been easier to see if I’d coloured them…).
Or pushing some of the background strips to the foreground.
Like the past two weeks‘ designs, these sketches could be made into quilt patterns using half-square triangles or strips (set on point after creating 4 identical blocks). Lots of opportunity for playing with interesting colours and even transparency.
Sunday sketch #74
Last week’s design of ribbon-like strips pivoting at right angles has sparked some new ideas for me. I managed to sketch a slew of new designs this week, all following a similar theme.
This makes me feel like I’m in the middle of a big city, looking up at huge skyscrapers!
This design could be made into a quilt pattern using half-square triangles, or mostly strips (with 4 blocks positioned on point).
Of course, there’s lots of potential for colour play with the foreground and background strips, and even with transparency where the strips overlap.
