This is "Dusk at Sea", my newest pattern designed with the Loca Linda fabric collection by Blank Quilting. The colors and textures are amazing, and the Tie Die fabrics were perfect as they reminded me of the sky above the ocean when the ship is in between ports... The paisley motif is reminiscent of marine life, and the alternate blocks bring to mind the compass. These are the fabrics I used in Dusk at Sea, and the last three are from the Blank Quilting Starlet basics … [Read more...] about Dusk at Sea quilt pattern

Free Pattern Alert!!!Let me introduce you to Skipper (Quilt #1), one of the two patterns I designed for Studioe Fabrics and its line A Whale of a Time by Sarah Prosser.

This one-block quilt pattern can be downloaded for free from Michael Miller Fabrics' website: under "Get Inspired", choose Free … [Read more...] about Yin and Yang Quilt – free pattern
