We’re wrapping up our Land of the Sky series from @hamptonquiltstudio with the Black Balsam Quilt — a beginner-friendly design inspired by pinwheels and windmills, reminiscent of the charming feed sack quilts of the 1800s. Made with half-square triangles, squares, and a simple method for split quarter-square triangles, it’s approachable for beginners but endlessly versatile for experienced quilters.

Just like its namesake, Black Balsam, this quilt captures the beauty of wide-open spaces and the magic of starlit skies. Located along the Blue Ridge Parkway, the real Black Balsam is known for its grassy bald summit, easy trails, and breathtaking 360° views — a place where creativity and inspiration flow as freely as the mountain breeze.

Mitchell Quilt — a beginner-friendly design with large-scale half-square triangles and squares that truly let your fabrics shine. Striking in solids and equally stunning in prints, it’s a pattern that’s both bold and versatile.

Inspired by the tallest peak east of the Mississippi, Mt. Mitchell captures that feeling of stargazing high in the Appalachian Mountains, where the night sky feels close enough to touch.

It can create dramatic contrast, make bright fabrics pop, and give your quilt incredible depth, almost like a 3D effect.

Pisgah is a familiar landmark in the Blue Ridge Mountains and a cherished part of the Asheville, NC skyline, surrounded by the historic Pisgah National Forest.
