Pattern Coming Soon!!!

 Remember when I mentioned over here  that I would be soon releasing a new pattern for a Wishes quilt, well I am excited to say that it looks like it will be just in time for the Black Friday Sale!!!  I am just putting the finishing touches and final checks on the pattern and plan to release it Friday :)

Which is just awesome, because it means all of my other patterns and books will be on sale as well, so if you want to bundle and save you can include this new pattern right along with it!!!

And I am also working on this Scraptastic Stars pattern that includes this great chain layout.   I can't guarantee it will be out on Friday as well, but I am going to do my very best!!!  

So be sure to have a very Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow (for all my US friends) and then pop back in Friday for my annual Black Friday through Cyber Monday sale!!!  You won't want to miss it ;)

Charming Baby Quilts Remix - Twinkle Twinkle

 Another Friday and another Charming Baby Remix!!!  This is quilt 5 of my Charming Baby Quilts Remix's and I am so excited to share it because I just love it!!!!!    I mean, stars and scraps, and panel centers. . . how can you not just love it :)  And here it is . . . the Twinkle Twinkle Remix quilt!!!!

Isn't this just so great!!!!  I know I already said I love it, but I really do just love, love, love it ;)   I remixed the original design by changing it to layer cake friendly instead of charm pack friendly.   So it is made the exact same way as the original, just on a larger scale.   So fun :)  This Twinkle Twinkle remix quilt finishes at 72" x 72" so it is perfect for snuggling up or using for a perfect picnic :)    And it just the exact same to piece as the original, just longer seams :)  (Pattern Adjustment's here)  

And speaking of the original, here is my Twinkle Twinkle quilt from Charming Baby Quilts.   This is such a great baby quilt, and it is so fun to pick an accent fabric that just pops on that scrappy background.   It will just be great in whatever size or color you make it!!!

For this Twinkle Twinkle remix, I used 2 Layer Cakes of Apricot and Ash by Corey Yoder.   And I was just thrilled when I found that her Apricot and Ash Panel would work perfectly for my Star Centers!!!!   They really just finish this quilt so perfectly.    But I still used the same amount of accent fabric in the pattern, even with the panel because I used the same accent fabric for the binding.  So many fabric options, so fun!!!  This remix uses 2 Layer Cakes and  2 yards of accent fabric.   And it is just so fun to make those scrappy stripped background, I love the scrappy look you get with pre-cuts!!!   

And when it came time to quilt it, I decided I on all over swirls.  It is just such a fun design and probally the one I can do the fastest as I have practiced it so much.   And I totally wanted to see just how fast I could go on my  new Long Arm and let me tell you, I could go fast!!!!   And oh my, did I have fun quilting this!!! 

And I just love all of the yummy texture it gave this quilt!!!   This is such a dense all over design so it really gives you incredible texture that just makes me want to curl up in this quilt with a good book!!

So do you want to make your own Charming Baby Remix Twinkle Twinkle quilt??  Just download this free  PDF Twinkle Twinkle Remix Instructions  document.  You will need a copy of my Charming Baby Quilts book to make the Remix as the download just includes the alternations and not the complete instructions.  You use the book and the download together ;)

And that is my Twinkle Twinkle Remix quilt!!!  I hope you love it just as much as I do and want to make one of your own, either in the lap size or baby size ;)  And if you do,  I would love to see it!!  You can email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com or post it to social media with the hashtag #happyquiltingwithmc and/or #charmingbabyquilts ;)  I can't wait to see your Tinkle Twinkle Quilts!!!

New Projects for Jessi's Room

 So a little while ago, Jessica (my oldest daughter) decided she wanted a new look to her bedroom.  So with Grandma's help, we picked out a color called Pool and painted the room.  And once the room was painted "pool" , she  decided she was all in to the Coastal decorated room idea.   Grandma and her went' directly to the store and found some cute accessories and a beautiful costal picture to go above her bed.  And with everything redecorated, my sweet Jessi noticed something amiss.   The quilt just doesn't match anymore. You see where this is going . . . Yup, new Quilt and matching pillows are now on the To Do list ;)     So we went through the Stash and found these beautiful Kona Solids the new decor.   And all she had to do was pick a design for her bed.  

And after some "googling" this is what she landed on.   Here I though she was googling this Happy Quilting page and was going to pick a pattern that I have already made, nope :)  Instead, I get to do an improve curve queen side quilt!!     So ya, I might be processing this for just a bit.   I think I can use the same method I used for this table runner, just on a way bigger scale.  How funny is it going to be to have 5 cutting mats lined up, long enough to cut those improv cures on (tee hee hee)    

And with the bed plan, it was time to move onto the pillows.   Jessi said she didn't want everything Improv Curves because it is just to much, so I suggested something more Nautical which she liked and wouldn't you know what I got in my email the next day . . . . AccuQuilt is doing a new launch for their amazing Mariner's Compass die.   I showed Jessi and she loved it, could this be more perfect!!!!  

So of course, we immediately went to EQ8, found a Mariner's Compass block in the library, and started sketching up color layout ideas.   And I can tell already, this is where the hard part is going to be.   How to decide which layout to do???   Do you have a favorite, or maybe a favorite pair??

  

So my Mariner's Compass BOB die is on the way, and I can't wait for it to arrive so we can start making up some decorative pillows.   And my hope is with the pillows made, I will have more motivation to tackle the quilt ;)  Wish me luck!
