Nautical News - A Free Quilt Pattern in 6 Sizes!

Nautical News is a custom quilt set using Seaworthy fabrics. I couldn't find a pattern or tutorial for the size of quilt blocks I was after, so I wrote the pattern for layer cake squares. The pattern includes 6 sizes from baby to king and is layer cake friendly. I include two lap sizes in my patterns whenever possible, because short people (like me!) don't want a long lap quilt, and tall people do. This pattern is FREE and is available in my pattern shop. http://go-2.it/BusyHandsPatterns

Enderquilt - Game On!

This is my Epic ("custom" just doesn't fit this one...) Minecraft quilt, inspired by images on Pinterest and my children's love of Minecraft. The dragon is inspired by a perler bead pattern with design input from my 8 year old son! If you want to know more of the story, check out my blog! http://duelingthread.com End of game? No, but I gained lots of experience points! My son is thrilled to be sleeping under his favorite game and my brother won't talk about the quilt because he is jealous! Who knew?

Falling Stars ~ Pattern in 6 Sizes Baby to King

Falling Stars is a quilt pattern I designed that includes instructions for 6 sizes from Baby to King, including 2 Lap sizes. The smaller lap is ideal for kids and shorter people, and the large lap fits tall people very well. The size of the HSTs in the quilts increases as the size of the quilt increases, so the bed quilts have larger HSTs and are thus faster to make yet still stunning. This quilt pattern looks great in pretty much any fabric combination with a solid color such as black, gray, white or your favorite solid color. This pattern was inspired by fabric design by Ellen of The Long Thread, and permission has been granted by the fabric designer for me to write this pattern. This pattern is for sale in my Craftsy shop: http://bitly.com/BusyHandsQuiltsPatternShop and in my Etsy shop if you are from the European Union: https://www.etsy.com/shop/BusyHandsPatterns Thank you!

"Swirls & Curls"

A picture of this quilt was sent to me as my daughter's choice for her Christmas gift. I was able to find a friend that had the templates. So I proceeded. Took me 8 months & over 40 different fabrics to succeed. I discovered that in order to get the blocks to interact with each other, I had to turn the templates over to get mirror image blocks. Was an interesting project. I had it quilted with a "Bubbles" design which fit right in with the block design.

Added a narrow purple border, and wide floral border. 4-26-13 Bought 3 3/8 yd of 118" wide black for back at Creative Needle.

Peggy's Quilt #12 - Cottage Romance

This is a story of loving a fabulous fabric line (Larkspur by 3 Sisters for Moda) and loving a pattern (Cottage Romance in Better Homes & Gardens "Scrappy Quilts" pages 38-41) but not really loving the two put together. I think the problem is that the beautiful fabric was not highlighted enough by the blocky simplistic pattern. However, I do like the feel of the quilt - the fabric is smooth and lovely and drapes beautifully on my bed. I used a 90/10% silk/poly batting which probably helps with the drape, and found extra-wide backing from the fabric line (Feather Garden Bloom in the Larkspur collection). I cut the fabric and set up the pieces for each block before going to a quilting retreat in April 2016. Cutting took 3 days and piecing the quilt together took 2 days (very simplistic). The long-arm free-motion quilting was done by Lyn Durbin of Camlyn Quilts in June 2016. I also made 4 pillowcases to match the quilt, using the four paisley prints in the fabric collection for the cuffs. Regardless of this not being my favorite quilt, I do like how it will brighten up my bedroom during the winter. I love quilting! Peggy 091116

Tall Glass of Pink Lemonade

Love collecting pink and orange fat quarters. In fact I can't stop buying them everywhere I go. Eventually I decided to make something out of them and the blocks just kept multiplying and multiplying. I ended up with a huge quilt, and a baby quilt and tons left over. And guess what? (I am still buying more pink and orange)

Scrappy Patches, 7 Sizes, Jelly Roll, FQ, Yardage

This is a twin quilt in Scrappy Patches using two Mojito jelly rolls. I like the look of a scrappy quilt, but I want to know that my pieces fit together without scratching my head, trying to figure out how to get the puzzle into the size of quilt I'm after. My intention with Scrappy Patches was make a quilt that looked like I randomly sewed strips together when there was actually a plan in place. She fits the bill! Scrappy Patches comes in 7 sizes from wall hanging to king and is jelly roll, fat quarter, and yardage friendly! You'll also be happy to know there are very few seams to match! Buy the pattern here: http://bitly.com/BusyHandsQuiltsPatternShop

Diamonds on a String

I loved the colors of the fabric. The quilt was entered in the 2013 Indiana State Fair competition and won first place. The design is a variation of a pattern I saw at the Cincinnati Quilt Show several years ago.

Jaybird Lotus quilt top

This is for my daughter...it has been a long process to this point even. I live in Indiana and she lives on the west coast. I am now at a standstill while waiting for one or two things to be over with...then I will layer and pin baste and quilt it. It is approximate 105 inches square
