QuiltInk Challenge Jan24

First and foremost, a heartfelt thank you to all the users who participated in the Dec23 Challenge. The response was fantastic, with 48 incredible mock-ups. It was truly enjoyable experiencing the creativity together, and we sincerely hope you had as much fun as we did.
 
The coloring fun doesn’t stop with the new year—exciting challenges await in 2024!
For the January Challenge, we’ve teamed up with one of the Fabric Shops in QuiltInk, and Helen from Floyd the Fox has curated a palette named ‘Wintery Meadow,’ featuring a delightful blend of solids and printed fabrics.
Helen shared her inspiration behind the Wintery Meadow palette with us, saying,
“The sun is setting early so we use the crisp afternoon air for a walk and some daylight in these cold months. 
She paints light pinks and warm oranges into the icy meadow, the tall feathery grass glowing like torches. “

Helen, is the heart and soul behind this virtual quilt shop, settled in Stuttgart, Germany. She is a devoted sewing addict who transforms her late-night inspirations into delightful projects.

During her pregnancy with her third daughter, Helen sewed her way through every dress, romper, and bloomer imaginable, leaving no stitch unturned. The baby quilt became a masterpiece, and from that moment, her sewing journey soared.

Visit Helen’s virtual quilt shop to explore her handpicked fabrics and be immersed in a world where sewing dreams come to life. Feel free to seek inspiration or assistance anytime you step into this cozy haven of fabric wonders.

Title: Electric Pineapple

Don’t you believe that color can make magic with a #quiltpattern? I do! And I think color is the key for any quilter to make a pattern really unique and consonant with her/his soul. 

This Electric Pineapple #quiltpattern released 2 days ago by Libs Elliot is a great proof of how color can make a traditional block bright. It’s a modern spin on a traditional block pattern.The large scale of the blocks makes this a bold design. This pattern is constructed with regular machine piecing.
