Yesterday was a double release day for Taylor from Toad and Sew,  Along with her TIme Capsule #quiltpattern she released her Diamond Flare #Quilt. Both together are called the Double Trouble Bundle and ready in QuiltInk for you to play with its endless color possibilities. We can’t wait to see all your mock-ups in the #quiltinkwall!

The #DiamondFlareQuilt was originally designed to be the 2023 Block of the Month (BOM) for the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild (SMQG). Inspired by the Pacific Northwest’s stunning landscapes, vibrant flora, and rich culture, this medallion-style quilt offers a unique twist on traditional BOM patterns. Combining block-based and medallion designs creates a satisfying visual journey as the quilt comes together.

QuiltInk Challenge Apr24

What a fun it’s been the Mar24 QuiltInk Challenge with a palette set up by Binded with Love Fabric Shop in QuiltInk, and 120 incredible mock-ups published in the QuiltInk Wall.  Let’s give a big congratulations to prettification for being the winner of this month!
For the April QuiltInk Challenge, I want to introduce you to a palette source of inspiration that I love and find incredibly useful for selecting your quilt color choices. It’s Colours Cafe, an Instagram account where Giga, a super creative individual, posts a different 5-color palette almost daily, and I must say, I love nearly them all!
For the April palette, I’ve decided to blend two palettes from Colour Cafe because I felt that five colors might not suffice for most of the quilts featured on QuiltInk, and to provide you with a little more flexibility. Therefore, I’ve combined palettes 1062 and 1068 from Colours Cafe to create the Spring palette for the #QuiltInkChallengeApr24. I hope you like it! It’s composed of the following Kona Cotton solids from the Kona Cottons palette in QuiltInk: Cernise, Valentine, Candy Pink, Natural, Acid Lime, Chartreuse, Clover, and Nightfall.”
