I'm
pleased to share a fresh new quilt pattern with you today: Harmony! This
seemingly scrappy fat quarter quilt is actually a careful repetition of pattern and color. The harmony is created when you
select just three colors from your favorite fat quarter bundle and let the prints
and pattern sing!
My idea for Harmony came to me one day in my sewing room as I was looking at the beautiful folded
stacks of Coney Island (Fig Tree & Company for Moda) yardage sitting on my cutting
table. The aqua, red and tan prints seemed to be calling . . . make something
soft and "smoodgy" with me. So that is what I set out to do.
As I was designing this pattern
and later sewing the blocks, I kept calling it smoodgy in my mind. But eventually what developed was a nice
harmony of color, print and pattern, so Harmony became the official title. She measures at 74" x 74", a nice size for a bed throw or cuddling quilt.
While the quilt I've made is soft and nurturing, I think this pattern
could also be wonderful in deeper hues and vibrant colors. The key is to pull a tri-color range of 12 fat quarters that you
love and enjoy seeing together visually. The pattern will then do the work for you, as each block includes a piece from each of those fat quarters. That is where the harmony comes in!
In my sample quilt I pushed myself to use a
print sashing rather than a solid sashing, and I love the effect (more smoodgy). I need to be daring and do this more often!
Harmony is available through my Etsy Store.
Sincere thanks to Barb
(Quilts on Broadway) for the sweet floral machine quilting on this quilt! It is perfect!

I absolutely love this, and the print sashing is perfect for this quilt. I'd love to make a queen size for my bedroom. I wonder how difficult that would be?
ReplyDeleteHi there Nancy! I don't think it would be too hard, as the block pattern is easy to repeat. And as long as you don't mind buying more fabric! ;)
DeleteOh Taunja, this quilt is a beauty. I do agree, it looks very very comfy and smoodgy. I want to snuggle under this right now. I do love these colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Rosemary! I appreciate your sweet words! SMOODGY!!

ReplyDeleteI’m a New quilter and I love this quilt and the fabric. If I want to try to replicate the colors, do I buy 12 fat quarters and pick out the 3 colors I want or is there a different way to collect the specific fabrics?
