Two Free Quilt Patterns Using Northcott's Naturescapes Fabric



Happy New Year!

I have had the pleasure of bringing in the New Year making two fun quilts using Northcott's Naturescapes collection.


The best part is the patterns are free and available over at QUILTsocial.
The first one, I show you a super simple way to the Drunkard's Path block.  Trust me when I say, it is easy, no pins and actually fun!  Plus it involves circles and I love circles.  Here is the quilt, I called it Pebble Play, because the one fabric of pebbles I simply adore!
My kids thought it looked like a zipper=) You can get the pattern here.


Here is a close up of some of the quilting. Had a little fun free motion quilting it too. 



The next quilt I made is called Fractured Landscapes.  It is a pieced chevron looking quilt, and before all the pieces are sewn together, it gets fractured by black fabric strips.

Free Quilted Table Runner Pattern

I am back with a fun table runner pattern over at the QuiltSocial blog!
Day 1 instructions are here.
Day 2 here
Day 3 here. 
It involves piecing and fusing.  Very easy and very fast but allows you to play with color and prints to create adorable flowers out of various sized fused circles.  I had so much fun making it!


I stacked layers of circles together to create cute flowers then fused them down to the runner.  


To create the leaves, I simply free motion quilted the shapes coming out off the green pieced stems.



I had fun adding some creative quilting in the circle flowers as well as the background for the runner.



I was even named the 'Quilted Flower Queen' after someone saw this pattern=)

Free Pattern for Quilted Wall Hanging

Check out the free tutorial over at QuiltSocial that I created using Northcott's lovely fabric.
The pattern is done using 3 different blocks and can easily be used as a wall hanging, or table runner. It showcases different ways to do the stained glass technique in quilting.


Here is the first post, showing 2 blocks that are pieced using the stained glass technique.


The second post shows how you can use fusing to create a stained glass block.


The third post shows stained glass blocks with a twist. 


This post talks about arranging your blocks and some tips to help.


The last post talks about quilting the wall hanging.
