Wild Oats Quilt

Today I am super excited to share a finish from a little while ago.  I was asked by that folks at Moda, before Market, if I could whip up a sample of Miss Rosie's new pattern Wild Oats!!!  I just loved the design from the moment I saw it.  So simple and yet so awesome!!!


Wild Oats uses Barbara Brackman's newest line Old Cambridge Pike.   This is a little more traditional fabrics then I usually quilt with, but I instantly fell in love with the rich deep tones and prints.  It totally made me start thinking about adding more traditional prints into my quilts more often ;)


Don't you just love the awesome angles in this quilt!!!  And it was so much fun to put together and was relatively fast as well :)  Moda Rosie, aka Miss Rosie, aka Carrie Nelson adds lots of great tips in the pattern to help with putting it together with all of those nice perfect points ;)


When it came time to quilt this one I decided an all over feathered swirl fit the fabrics just perfect!!!  It is hard to see as it blends so nicely, but it really added just another touch of elegance to these beautiful, rich fabrics!!!


And that is Wild Oats!!!!   I really enjoyed working outside of my normal box on this one and love how I keep finding more avenues in the quilting world to explore!!! There is always something new to try and fall in love with ;)


So what have you tried new lately in your little quilting world???

I hope you have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!

Linking up this finish to Sarah's and Amanda's ;)

  1. There really are so many quilting avenues to explore, you could never run out of new things to try. This is such a lovely quilt Melissa and the name cracks me up. You can tell everyone your were out sewing your wild oats.

  2. Lovely quilt!! I am working on two applique quilts and I hate handwork, so one had the applique quilted on (almost finished with it, just need to quilt the background on two blocks) and the other one I am using my DSM to do a blanket stitch around the appliques (ran out of the thread I was using and now I can't find it anywhere so I'm kinda stuck).

  4. I have fallen in love with a collection by Parson Gray called Curious Nature. I have had a jelly roll of it for a while and just decided to break it open. I love it. It is hard to find masculine fabrics in colors that are gorgeous and this is it! I added a little Kona Coal and now I want more!

  5. The quilt turned out beautifully. I've been trying to work on my machine applique.

  6. Nifty pattern! I bet it was fun working with those fabrics too. I've recently made Hunter's Star blocks using Deb Tucker's Rapid Fire Hunter's Star ruler. I need to make a lot more of them to complete my quilt top, but that's what's new in my quilty world.

  7. Beautiful. The pink down the middle of each row really sets off the beauty of this quilt. Congrats! You have a winner.

  8. I've been at a standstill for a couple of years on one of my works in progress. The pattern calls for applying a ruffled binding and I just can't seem to find a good tutorial on this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

  9. Do you really want a ruffled binding? You could just go with a standard binding. In the past, you could buy pre-made ruffled bindings in solid colors, though they are not popular now and you might not find any. Check through some of the standard books on quiltmaking, such as 'Quilts! Quilts!! Quilts!!!' by McClun and Nownes or 'Quilter's Complete Guide' by Fons and Porter to see if you can find instructions.
