4 new Cluck Cluck Sew patterns...

YES - 4 new patterns by my friend,

Allison Harris, of Cluck Cluck Sew.

"Woven", "Celebrate", "Starstruck", and "Uptown".

She's also using some of her new "Dixie" fabrics,

 so wonderful!

I don't know how she does it - with 4 kiddos.

She's my hero!

I was lucky enough to get to quilt 2 of these new quilts.

(Allison takes much better photos than I do - so just keep that in mind.)

Here are a few photos of the two I quilted:

This is "Starstruck".

You can read about it on Allison's blog, here.

 

 

I quilted an all-over loop pattern.

 

 

This backing is from her new fabric line, "Dixie".

 

 

This one is "Uptown".

You can read more about it here on Allison's blog.

 

 

 I quilted rows and rows of "L - loops". 

 I love row quilting!

 

 

This cute back is also from her "Dixie" line which is now available.

 

 

I love everything about her patterns and quilts.

They are SO well written and include multiple sizes.

She's having a SALE - 30% off patterns with the discount code QUILT.

Hurry - the sale doesn't last forever!

Here's the link to her pattern page.

Metro Rings

Shari - from New Jersey - sent me this pretty aqua (one of my favorite colors) Metro Rings quilt to quilt.

 

She used a bright jelly roll for the rings.

 

 

 

It's made from one of the "Sew Kind of Wonderful" curved piecing patterns.

You can purchase the pattern here on their website.

I love Shari's color choices.

 

 

She said I could quilt anything I wanted to - I love that!

So I looked at other Metro Rings quilts and settled on this:

 

I quilted straight lines in the large open areas then added a string of pearls to out line that area, "L's" in the football areas, looped the quarter square corners, and lined the rings.

 

 

 

I love the solid pink & white 1/4 squares at each intersection.

 

 

 This backing is a very happy pink and orange - perfect!

 

 

Shari is going to bind it with the solid aqua - good choice!

Thanks, Shari....now I need to get mine out and start sewing!

I chose a Downton Abby jelly roll and a very soft pink for the background.

Not my usual choice of colors but I needed at least ONE quilt with Downton Abby prints!

 

 

You need a "quick curve ruler" that the ladies at Sew Kind of Wonderful have created - it's worth it! 

They have SO many beautiful patterns to choose from.
