Today is the final day of new Happy Quilting Pattern and Quilts and we are finishing up with Corkscrew!!! This has always been a favorite design of mine, and I am so happy that it got a make-over :) I didn't change anything up in the design, I just spruced things up in the writting!!! And you know, it's all about the rainbow of colors in this one So here is the new Corkscrew!!
The
Corkscrew Pattern can be found in my
Etsy Shop in both a Paper version as well as a PDF version. And it is on Special for it's release with PDF Patterns at $5.50 and the Paper Patterns are $7.00! The patterns are full color and the paper version is in book format.
Corkscrew is a great quilt if you want to work on lining up lots of pretty points!!! It is Intermediate level and teachings so many piecing techniques. You learn Half Square Triangles, No Waste Flying Geese, and Pieced Square in a Square blocks. And when the blocks come together they create such an awesome secondary design!! It truly is my favorite part about this quilt design!!
This version of
Corkscrew is made from
Texture Basics by Riley Blake Designs!!! This design is really great for using
Basic Lines, that way you have lots of colors to choose from and the piecing really pops!! And laying out the rainbow of blocks is my favorite part of making this quilt!!! It's just so fun to see it all come together :) This quilt is
Fat Eighth friendly, so you can grab a bundle and get quilting!!
I quilted this version of
Crokscrew with all over swirls. I wanted to add lots of curves to this super geometric design. And of course, you also get the texture and movement with all of those swirls!! And when it comes to thread color, this one can be a little tricky. You could totally use a grey, but I was excited to find a Twist Thread in the back of my stash that is actually a black thread and a white thread twisted together. (Sadly, I don't think they make it anymore) It worked just perfect for the quilt and gave it an almost metallic look!! So great ;)
Corkscrew, has multiple size options so you can make whatever size quilt works for you ;) The blocks finish at 18" so they are a good sized block, and the bigger the quilt, the more colors you get to choose in your layout. (And of course, you can totally do prints and it would look just as awesome!!!) The pattern has 6 size options : Baby, Child, Lap, Picnic, Twin and Queen.
And that is my new
