New Happy Quilting Pattern - Alhambra!!

  It's day 2 of new Happy Quilting Patterns and today it is all about . . . Alhambra!!!   And yes, it has beauitful curved piecing!!!  I just love the block design but then getting it to interlock in both the sides and corners of the blocks, so great.  It was totally inspired by mideastern architecture, and it really shows in the design.   This is quickly becoming a favorite!!  

The  Alhambra 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 $6.50 and the Paper Patterns are $8.00!  The patterns are full color and the paper version is in book format.   

 

Alhambra is an intermediate skill level pattern.     Techniques used in the pattern include 3 Pin Curves, No Waste Lattice Blocks and Stitch and Flip Units.  This is perfect for those wanting to learn curves, or just get more practice at them.  And the curves are very forgiving as all of the same Print fabrics meet up in the curves.   And I highly recommend my Modified Drunkards Path Tempalte for this quilt, which is the same template used for all my curved patterns. So if you have already done one, chances are you already have the template! 

This Alhambra quilt is made with Flora + Thread by Fancy That Design House.    This fabric line will be releasing in Nov 2026, and I just love that the goregous colors and prints totally add to that mideastern vibe I was gong for.  But the great thing is, this design would look great in any vibe, you just need to grab a  Fat Quarter Bundle, pick an accent and border that will stand out, and away you go ;)   And of course, you can always use a dark background as well, and you know I have one of those in the works as well!! 

And for the quilting, to be honest, I was in a bit of a time crunch.  I basically quilted 7 of these new patterns in 4 days last week.  This was the last one, and I was down to the wire, so I just choose a quick all over swirl design.   But I have to say, I always love all of the yummy texture an all over swirl makes! 

Alhambra like my Happy Quilting patterns, has multiple size options so you can make whatever size quilt works for you ;)     The pattern has 6 size options :  Baby, Child, Lap, Picnic, Twin, and Queen.     And again, you can use just about any Fat Quarter Bundle to make this quilt shine!!!  

And that is my new Alhambra quilt and Pattern!!!    And I am just so happy to share it with all of you!!!   I truly love making these curved piecing designs.  And I hope that if it has been somthing you are thinking about trying, that this design will inspire you to jump in and go for it!!     And of course,  if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to me ;)  And when you make your Alhambra quilts I would love to see them!!!  You can email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com or add it to social media with  #happyquiltingwithmc and #alhambraquilt ;)  I can't wait to see your Quilts!!!
