I was really wanting to finish up some of my unfinished quilts, and then I saw that Tiffany from Village Bound Quilts is hosting a #FinishItQAL on Instagram this month! So, I thought I’d join in, and I offered to be a sponsor! (You can win 3 of my PDF patterns, your choice. Also, a bunch of other great prizes from other sponsors.)

You can join the Village Bound Quilt Finish It Quilt Along and enter to earn prizes here!

I only have 5 unfinished quilts right now, because I did a couple FinishThoseUFQs a while ago. I’ve updated my Quilt Progress Tracker to include a couple more steps.

I’ve organized my list in the order that I started them.
1. Throw size – Butterflies and Blooms I started this quilt in July of 2021. The top is completed, I need to buy some backing fabric for this one.

2. Baby size – Prismatic Party Quilt – I started this during a Quilt Along I hosted in February of 2022. I have the backing and binding fabric all picked out for this one.

3. Baby size – Infinite Night Helix Quilt I started this one in August of 2022 before I hosted the quilt along. This quilt top is done and the backing fabric is all ready!

4. King size – Infinite Night Helix Quilt I started this one in September of 2022 when I hosted a Quilt Along with this pattern. This King size is for our bed. I have the 3 rows sewn. I need to sew the sashing between the rows. I may send this one to a longarmmer once the top is done.

5. Large Throw – Seismic Impact Quilt I started making this one in July of 2023. I had this fabric in my stash. I decided to make a scrappy version. I still need to purchase backing fabric.

I’m not sure which I’ll start first…maybe the Baby Infinite Night Helix, since its the closest to being done.

I hope you join in and can get some quilts done too!
Happy Quilting!

Hello there! This is my Seismic Impact Quilt! My son named this one, he thought the ripple effect looked like a Seismic Impact. I wanted to design a quilt that could be made in two colors or several colors. Also, I love designing quilts that aren’t super girly. My cousin is having a baby boy this fall and I will be gifting her this baby size quilt.

I found these beautiful fabrics in my stash and thought they’d be perfect for this quilt. The pattern is written so you can have 6 main colors with a background. I decided to use each of my colors twice with the gray background color.
I like how the fabrics look like solids from a distance, but up-close they have a print.

Fabrics: A & D: Andover Fabrics – Bumble Bee Basics Rain White,
B & E: Dear Stella – Dash Flow in Aruba,
C & F: Dear Stella – Dash Flow in Cobalt, and
G: Kona Cotton – Iron.

I quilted this one using the design as a guide. I lined my walking foot up on the seams so there is a quilting line abut 1/4 inch from the seams. I love how it turned out!

Here’s Snow’s SnowBell Prize quilt! You ask, ‘Why is it called SnowBell Prize’, you may be able to guess it. One of my daughter’s nicknames is SnowBell Prize. I wanted to make her a snowflake quilt that was fun and colorful!

When I had previously used this Andover Fabrics Rainbow Hearts and Stars fabrics for a different quilt, I thought it would make a perfect Snowflake fabric. We pulled colors from this fabric for the backgrounds of the blocks.

Fabrics used in cover photo: All Kona Cottons
A: Sangria, Pomegranate, Sassy Pink, Med. Pink, Orangeade, Mac and Cheese, Canary, Clover, Parrot, Jade, Green.
B: Nightfall, Royal, Malibu, Lagoon, Jamaica, Ice Frappe, Noble Purple, Mulberry, Violet and Grapemist.
C: Rainbow Hearts and Star fabric by Andover fabrics. (Unfortunately, I don’t think this is in print anymore)

The pattern includes instructions for:  Baby (48 x 48 in), Lap (48 x 64 in), Throw (64 x 80 in), Full (80 x 96 in), Queen (96 x 112 in) and King (112 x 112 in).
**You can make a TWIN size by adding a small border to the Throw size.

There are cutting instructions for:
2 main color option
3 main color option
Scrappy using Fat Quarters
Super Duper Scrappy

This pattern has 2 different Snowflake quilt blocks that can be made using yardage, fat quarters, or you can go super duper scrappy!

I quilted this by going diagonal through the blocks twice, horizontal twice and vertical twice. I was kind of going for a Snowflake quilting vibe.

I love pairing a Black and White binding with rainbow inspired quilts! I just so happened to find some black and white stripped binding already made in my fabric bins!

I hope you love this quilt design and it inspires you to create your own quilt!!
