New Pattern: Look Up

Tomorrow is release day for the Look Up Quilt Pattern by Christine from @tessellate_textiles — and it’s one you’ll definitely want to add to your list!

This stunning modern geometric quilt pattern is inspired by the architecture, colors, and energy of Egypt — and Christine has once again created a design bursting with color possibilities. 🌈

I love how this quilt invites you to explore color placement and value to make it uniquely yours. Whether you go for warm earthy tones, rich jewel shades, or a minimalist palette, every version tells a completely different story.

Come to QuiltInk to play with this beautiful new pattern and discover how endless color combinations can transform your quilt design! 🧵✨

New Pattern: The Busted Beehive

Have you ever noticed how a single quilt pattern can transform completely just by changing the color placement? That’s the magic of coloring quilts! ✨

Today we’re featuring The Busted Beehive Quilt by Julia from @apieceoflovequilting , now available for digital coloring on QuiltInk! 🐝💛

This fat quarter–friendly quilt pattern uses hexagons to create a simple yet striking design — and what makes it even more fun is how much it changes depending on how you play with light and dark values. Try soft gradients for a modern, airy look, or go bold and graphic for a dramatic statement!

Part of Julia’s Blocking It Series, The Busted Beehive is all about smart, waste-free quilting — each block is cut entirely from one fat quarter with no wastage.

Come explore this beautiful quilt pattern on QuiltInk, experiment with endless color combinations, and see how different your hive can look! 🧵✨

Inspired by the colours of Irish skies and gorse flowers, Eireann’s Compass is a modern quilt pattern featuring a clean, compass-style layout that’s perfect for confident beginners.
