fast quilt pattern – Happy Cloud Creations

Hello, meet the Nicely Knotted Quilt pattern! I wanted to make a modern quilt to match the Royal blue couches in my living room to go on the beautiful quilt ladder my husband made me. I had drawn out this design a while back and thought it would be perfect!

I love a quilt that uses squares and rectangles because once you make your first cuts, it’s time to sew!

The fabrics I used for my quilt are:
A: Dear Stella – Moonscape in Marlin,
B: Art Gallery Fabrics – Tomales Bay – Meandering Ocean,
C: Dear Stella – Moonscape in Denim,
D: Dear Stella – Moonscape in Spruce,
E: Dear Stella – Dash Flow in Aruba,
F: Dear Stella – Moonscape in Lagoon,
G: Riley Blake Designs – Kisses in Silver,
and the Binding – Dear Stella – Crimp in Peacock.

I found a super cute sheet set on sale at Target online that I think would go perfectly with this quilt.

I’m still in the process of finishing this quilt. I’ll post it in this blog when it’s all done.

PAPER PATTERN

After I drew out this pattern I thought it would be perfect for my Brother. You can make it manly or make it more girly with floral prints. The design reminded me of Ice crystals so that’s where I came up with the name Crystal Wave. I like how the pattern echo’s out and has sharp repeating lines.

This is a 20 inch block quilt, so it goes together super quilt. It’s great for the adventurous beginner to intermediate quilter. This quilt uses my favorite 4 at 1 time no waste flying geese method. So cutting your pieces and sewing a precise 1/4 scant seem is necessary.

I thought Kona Cotton Solids would be great for this quilt. Storm (Dark), Cadet (Medium), Prairie Sky (Light) and Silver (background). It kind of give the quilt an ombre look.

Sometimes a quilt needs a little more than straight line quilting from top to bottom. With this quilt I decided to echo the pattern with 1/4 inch straight line and then about an inch from that. I used my walking foot with it’s guide.
