New Pattern: Blooming Blades

Title: Blooming Blades

Designer: Tasha Quilts

Technique: Cuerve piecing

Sizes: 1

Stunning! See how color lets us play with a #quiltdesign and create unique versions. A perfect example is the Blooming Blades #quiltpattern, just released yesterday by Tasha Quilts. Available now on QuiltInk for you to plan your own version.

#quiltink allows you to unmerge the pieces of a pattern, allowing you to use as many colors as you want and create a really customized quilt! This will require you to adapt the fabric requirements of the pattern to your own needs, but it’s not a difficult task in this pattern!

The #bloomingbladesquilt is an advanced beginner pattern that will help you gain confidence with your curves. This two-color quilt uses a quarter-circle block to create a unique design. The quilt measures 64″ x 64″ (throw size) and is available as a downloadable PDF purchase which includes the printable paper templates needed.

Get inspired in the #quiltinkwall and start coloring!

QuiltInk Challenge Jun24

Summer is coming, and for the June QuiltInk Challenge, I want to showcase a new fabric collection perfect for this season by Libs Elliott. You can’t miss it!

But before we dive in, let’s give a big congratulations to Pixie for being the winner of the May Challenge, which featured the Winged Garden Fabric collection by Alexandra Bordallo!

June marks the launch of the Birdie Fabric Collection by Libs Elliott, a pattern designer in QuiltInk and also a fabric designer for Andover Fabrics.

The Birdie collection takes inspiration from the vibrant and bold designs of that era. With its playful patterns and nostalgic feel, it encourages us to embrace our inner child and revel in the joy of creativity. It builds on some of Libs’ favourite colours from the Atomic collection and will bring a sense of warmth and authenticity to anything you sew. So let your imagination run wild, embrace the retro vibes, and let Birdie take you on a journey back in time. The possibilities are endless, and the memories you’ll create will be timeless.

Start planning your upcoming quilting projects with this incredible fabric collection as you participate in our monthly challenge!
