Quilts & More Scrap Lab and The Mini Barn Quilt Pattern


Have you seen the Fall 2016 issue of Quilts and More magazine yet? I'm over-the-moon excited to be a part of this issue & one of the Scrap Lab projects from the issue. I may be just a little excited to be a cover project, too! If you aren't familiar with how the Scrap Lab projects work, here is a run down. Three designers are given a bundle of fabric and asked to design a project that can be made entirely using those given fabrics. For this issue we were giving 12 fat quarters from the new Sweetwater Bella Solids bundle from Moda, plus an additional 1/2 yard of Bella Solid in the color Smoke. 

If you've been following me on Instagram lately I've been majorly crushing on the Iowa barn quilts that are in our neighborhood. I mean, can you blame me? My Scrap Lab project, Mini Barn Quilt, was inspired by these bold designs. You can download the entire step-by-step pattern for FREE over on the Quilt's and More website. Plus, if you want to make your mini quilt just like mine -- or want to make the other two projects from the Scrap Lab -- you can pick the complete bundle up right here from Hen & Chicks Studio in Conrad, Iowa.

Happy Sewing!

Introducing With Flying Colors


Good morning, friends!

Let me introduce you to my latest design, With Flying Colors. This lap size quilt pattern can be found in the Spring 2016 Quilt's & More magazine that is on newsstands now. My love of rainbows, bold geometric design, and solid fabrics is very apparent in this new design. I used twelve Kona solids to create this chevron rainbow effect & they are:

Cardinal 1063
Coral 1087
Kumquat 410
Papaya 149
Daffodil 148
Limelight 493
Peapod 414
Peacock 1282
Cyan 151
Mediterranean 479
Magenta 1214
Violet 1383


Want to make it mini? The kind folks at Quilts & More have put together a FREE PDF Pattern to make a mini version of the design. How fun, right?! This has been added to my "to-sew" list!

Pick up the Spring 2016 Quilts & More magazine for lots of other fabulous projects from some of your favorite designers!

Happy Sewing,
Megan
