The August QuiltInk Challenge has wrapped — and what a serene and inspiring month of color it’s been! With the Olive Grove palette taking center stage, the QuiltInk Wall blossomed with mock-ups that celebrated calm, natural tones and modern quilting creativity.
This month’s palette, Olive Grove, was designed by Amber Elliott of @alderwoodstudio for Riley Blake Designs. With soft greens, warm neutrals, and subtle prints inspired by sun-warmed herbs and garden paths, this collection brings a soothing, versatile vibe to any quilt. We’re so grateful to Amber for sharing her vision and for sponsoring this month’s fabulous prize.
And now… congratulations to clrgygrl, the randomly selected winner of the August Challenge! Your mock-ups for the featured quilt patterns captured the essence of Olive Grove beautifully — and you’ll receive a Fat Quarter bundle from the Olive Grove fabric collection, sent directly to your sewing space sponsored by Amber. (Please check your email inbox!)
A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who participated. Your creativity keeps QuiltInk a vibrant, inspiring, and joyful place for quilters to explore color, patterns, and imagination.
Stay tuned — August’s challenge is launching soon, and you won’t want to miss it!
