New Pattern: Get Well Soon

The just released Get Well Soon quilt pattern by Christine from @tessellate_textiles is now on QuiltInk!

This design carries a very special meaning — Christine created it as part of her own health journey, and it’s a reminder of hope, care, and community. The Get Well Soon quilt is a quick and easy sew, perfectly sized for snuggling on the couch with a good book, a cup of tea, or simply for gifting to someone who needs a little extra comfort.

What I love about this pattern is how versatile it is: whether you want to sew something uplifting for a friend who’s struggling, make a cozy quilt for your family, or just enjoy a fast, fun project, this one is for you. And with its clean, modern look, it shines in any colorway you can imagine.

QuiltInk Challenge Oct25

Do you feel the thrill of quilting with a spooky twist? October is here, and that means it’s time for pumpkins, shadows, and Halloween-inspired stitches. There’s nothing more fun than playing with eerie palettes that bring out the magic of this season in your quilt designs.

For this month’s QuiltInk Challenge, we’re diving into Phantasm, the brand-new fabric collection by Libs Elliott for Andover Fabrics. With its bold colors and playful prints, this collection is perfect for creating quilts that are hauntingly beautiful, mysterious, and full of personality.

Before we get started, let’s take a moment to celebrate our September winner — congratulations to @XXXXX, who will be receiving a gorgeous Fat Quarter bundle from Alexandra Bordallo’s Flourish collection!

Now, are you ready to conjure up some Halloween magic on the QuiltInk Wall?

MEET PHANTASM

The Phantasm collection by Libs Elliott for Andover Fabrics is a bold, Halloween-inspired line that blends gothic flair with artistic drama. Phantasm carries a striking palette of purples, blacks, neon greens, and hot pinks, weaving together motifs like moths, spiderweb hearts, skulls, abstract florals, and edgy geometrics.

While its Halloween roots are clear, the line also includes supporting prints that transition beautifully into other seasons. Whether used in dramatic quilts, costume pieces, or statement accessories, Phantasm offers a balance of mystery and elegance, with enough versatility to let your creativity roam between spooky and stylish.

MEET LIBS ELLIOTT

Libs Elliott, a Canadian quilter in Toronto, transitioned from a childhood surrounded by antique quilts to a career in quilting, inspired by her love for textiles and a background in weaving and natural dyeing. Starting in 2009, she modernized traditional patterns and now designs for Andover Fabrics, releasing multiple collections annually.

New Pattern: Carrefour

✨ Meet the just released quilt pattern Carrefour by @marchlionquilts on QuiltInk!

(French for crossroads) this quilt is a modern design beautifully rooted in tradition. A classic crossroads block is scaled up and divided into four streamlined blocks, then pieced in rows for easy assembly — simple, clever, and so effective!

What I really love about this pattern is how it uses a minimal fabric palette. With just three fabrics, you can showcase your favorite colors and play with values to create bold, striking contrasts or softer, more subtle moods. It’s incredible how much variety and movement you can get out of such a clean, geometric design.

This one is perfect if you’re looking for a quilt that feels modern and graphic, yet still carries that timeless, traditional touch we all love.

👉 Head to QuiltInk, color your own Carrefour mock-ups, and discover just how far you can push the magic of three fabrics. You might be surprised at the unique effects you’ll uncover!
