New Happy Quilting Pattern - Home Is Where The Heart Is!!

 I am so excited to share more about my new Happy Quilting Patterns and today it is all about . . . Home Is Where The Heart Is!!!   This is actually the second quilt design I have made with this name and it was inspired by the first quilt.  I originally posted a home and house quilt for the I Love House Blocks Book back here .  I loved the offset layout and little hearts, but I didn't love the houses, they were just a little to bland.   So I went back to the drawing table, and I just love this new Home Is Where The Heart Is.   Two fun houses, lots of hearts, and a fun border to really finish it all off.  So great!  

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

   

Home Is Where The Heart Is is an experienced beginnr skill level pattern.     The quilt is made of two separate house blocks and then sashed in an alternating layout to give the houses an offset layout.  The pattern teaches techniques includinginclude Stitch and Flip Corners, Tiny Piecing, and Nested Angled Seams.  It really is a fun quilt to piece, and I just loved watching each of these houses come together to make a happy little neighborhood.  

This Home Is Where The Heart Is quilt is made with Larkspur and Linen by Fig Tree & Co.  This fabric line will be releasing in Jan 2027, so it's a bit of a wait, but so worth the wait!!  It was just the perfect colors for this modern traditional look.  But of course, it will look amazing in just about any Fat Quarter Bundle, you just want to make sure that you have prints that you can divide up for the hearts, houses, roofs, and doors ;)   And of course, you can always use a dark background as well, I already have one planned for that as well.  

And I had so much fun quilting this!!  Again, I wanted to add to the modern tradational look, so I did loose feathers across the "neighborhood" and then cute ribbon candy and pebbles on the border to make it pop.   It just turned out so cute!!     And of course, lots and lots of yummy quilt texture!!! 

Home Is Where The Heart Is 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 a beautiful Fat Quarter Bundle to make this quilt shine!!!  

And that is my new Home Is Where The Heart Is quilt and Pattern!!!    And I am just so happy to share it with all of you!!!   Like I said, I am already planning to make this again and hope you will love making it as much as I do ;)   And of course,  if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to me ;)  And when you make your Home Is Where The Heart Is 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 #homeiswheretheheartisquilt ;)  I can't wait to see your Quilts!!!

I am now releasing 6 new Happy Quilting Patterns!!  And like always, they will be on sale for their debut!!   I will be sharing all of the details about the new quilts, throughout the next week . . . but for today, I just wanted to pop in a share a first look at these new Happy Quilting Patterns!!!      Wow, that just makes me so happy to see them all in a line, that was a lot of Happy Quilting Pattern Writting ;)  

           

          

Turning Dusk Into Dawn is Fat Quarter Friendly.  It comes with 5 size options and is rated for Experienced Beginners and up.  Techniques used in the pattern include No-Waste Flying Geese and Single and Double Stitch and Flip Corners Stitch and Flip Corners.  And because most of the block "floats" there are very few points to worry about lining up.  

   


 

Twilight Stroll is a Scrap Friendly Pattern of you can use Layer Cakes.    It comes with 5 size options and is rated for Beginner Quilters and up.  Techniques used in the pattern include No Waste Flying Geese, Half Square Triangles, and Square in a Square units.  It is a great way to get stash busting, especially if you have a drawer of bonus HST's!! 

     

Home Is Where The Heart Is also is Fat Quarter Friendly.  It comes with 6 size options and is rated for Experienced Beginners and up.  Techniques used in the pattern include Stitch and Flip Corners, Tiny Piecing, and Nested Angled Seams.  It is a great way to combine modern quilting with a classic look. 

   

     

Turnovers is a Jelly Roll Friendly quilt.   It comes with 6 size options and is rated for Experienced Beginners Quilters and up.  Techniques used in the pattern include basic piecing and pieced sashing.   And the design has two layout options, based on your sashing direction, and you won’t believe how it changes the whole look!!  This is that perfect quilt design for your more “man cave” quilts and is a go-to baby boy quilt as well!

     

Alhambra is Fat Quarter Friendly.  It comes with 6 size options and is rated for Intermediate Quilters and up.  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 I highly recommend my Modified Drunkards Path Tempalte for this, which is the same template used for all my curved patterns. 

   

And In Your Neighborhood is back again.   I wrote this pattern a while but took it down for some updating.  This pattern has 1 size option and is perfect for Experienced Beginners and up.   It uses 1 Layer Cake and 1 Jelly Roll or a Jelly Cake!!  Techniques used in the pattern include basic piecing in a pieced log cabin style.  You are going to love making these Neighborhood blocks!

$5 Pattern of the Month - Daisy Chain!!!

 Its a new Month and a new $5 Pattern of the Month Feature here at Happy Quilting!!!  Each month, I choose one Happy Quilting Pattern that will be just $5.00  all month in my Etsy Shop ;)    And August is Daisy Chain!!!   

The  Daisy Chain Pattern can be found in my Etsy Shop in both a Paper version as well as a PDF version and both versions will be marked down to $5.00 for the month of August.   And yes, this is a quilt that uses curves, so I highly recommend picking up a set of Modified Drunkards Path Templates while you are at the shop to cut out the curved pieces.  There is a paper template in the pattern but the acrylic templates are just so nice :)   And these are the same templates used for all of my curved patterns, so if you already have the templates from another curved pattern you are all set!!  

 Daisy Chain is an intermediate skill level pattern with 6 size options and has options and is Fat Quarter Friendly.    The quilt is made with a large flower block that interlocks creating a chain with the leaves.    The pattern teaches you an awesome 3 pin Curved technique. 

Daisy Chain  is a super versatile design.   You just want to make sure that your bundle can be broken into 3 groups of Petals, Leaves, and Blooms (which are the center of the flower)  So in this quilt, I used Peaches for the Petals, Green for the Leaves, and Yellows for the Centers.   And you can always mix up two - three colors in each group as well.  Just make sure you can see the difference in the Petals and the Blooms ;)   

And one of my favorite things about this design, it works great for Christmas Bundles as well!!  Most Christmas Bundles have Red, Green, and some form of Gold or Tan . . . and that works out just perfect for this design.   I mocked up this Chrsitmas Version in Gingerbread Lane for Moda.  Isn't it just so great, a perfect fit!   I think it really gives a Holly and Ivy feel to this fun design :) 

  

And that is my $5.00 Pattern of the Month!!!  August 2026 is all about the Daisy Chain!!!   You are going to have so much fun making this quilt ;)   And of course,  if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to me ;)  And when you make your Daisy Chain 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 #daisychainquilt ;)  I can't wait to see your Quilts!!!

 Pop over to my Etsy Shop, to pick up your Patterns and Tempaltes and get Happy Quilting!!!!   

Sneak Peak of Turnovers!!

 Today I get tot share a set of new quilts that once again are a "Sneak Peak" of one of my new Happy Quilting Patterns set to release on August 8th.  These quilts are Turnovers and they feature the adorable prints of  Primrose and Parsley for Poppie Cotton.   And ther are two quilts, because Turnovers has two options on the quilt layout.  How fun is that!!!   

Turnovers is a Jelly Roll Friendly pattern.  It also combines the jelly roll strips with an  accent fabric for the  sashing and a background.  And you know how I love puttings soft prints on a dark background, and this one was perfect for a  cowboy boot brown background to make all of those wonderful soft prints just pop and keep that adorable country feel!!  And once again, these were the perfect  "pattern test" for this new pattern and give it the whole different look of the origianal :)    

   

Turnovers is a beginner friendly design but is also one of those quilts that are pefect for any skill level.   I can tell already, this is going to be one of those great "got to" designs for baby quilts.  It is just so fun to make and whips together so fast.  I know, the interlocking design makes it look a little complicated, but really, it's just basic piecing with paying attention to placement :)  

The Turnovers pattern, like most all of my Happy Quilting patterns, has multiple size options.  This is the baby Size that finishes at at 38" x 38".  And this is the layout option 1, where the sashing strips betweent the blocks create a cross hatch look.  The fun part is, both layouts are pieced the same way, it is just simply changing the direction of the sashing strips that create the two looks. 

And here is the second layout option.  By rotating the sashing strips, we get a fun pathwork look at all of the intersections of the blocks, and the centers create a super cute patchwork square design.   To me, the first layout is a little more modern and this one is a little more traditional.  But I just love both and still can't decide which is my favorite. 

And those are my  new Turnovers quilts!   Just like last weeks sneak peak quilts, the patterns are at the printers and I will have them back next week so this new pattern (along with 5 others) will release on August 8th!!  So be sure to pop back in soon so you can make your own!!  And lucky for all of us, this is such a fun and fast design to make, you don't have to pick a favorite, you can just make both layouts.  

Thank you so much for popping in today and sharing this little Sneak Peak with me.

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

July 2026 Sew Sampler!

Wow, I can't believe we are at the end of July.   But I am so super excited that means that my July 2026 Sew Sampler Box has arrived and it is so great!!!   The theme is Summer Crush and it is filled with beautiful summer colors that are just making me smile. 

I was so excited to see this beauitful junior layer cake of Daisy Crush by Heather Bailey.   These prints are just so pretty!!  Large scale flowers in goregous summer colors are making me so excited to sew with these prints!!  And the Botany pattern is such a pretty way to show off all of that beatuful color.  Isn't it just so pretty!!     And the 10 Year Anniversary bonus exclusive pattern included is Sew Mates from January 2019.  

And the notions for this box are so fun!!!!  Of course, some Wonder Clips are always awesome.  And I love how long these are.   And the Binding Keeper is just so cute!!  What an adorable little sewing machine design Fat Quarter Shop!!  And I am excited to try out the Scissors Lanyard by Karen Kay Buckley when I am off retreating.  I can never find where I set down my scissors when I am not at home so this little guy is going to come in handy ;)   And the Acorn Piecing Precision Seam Glue is always great when doing a little applique or such!  I was actually just working on a project with 1/4" Bias Tape and this really would have been so helpful.  

And of course, its our new Spooled Quilt Along Block 4!!!!   I am using Morning Latte and can't wait to see this Quilt Along come together.  There are still a few limited Kits in the adorable Petals and Polka Dots by Bunny Hill Design if you are just joining in.   These blocks are so fun and fast to make, I am just loving it!!   

And that is the July  Sew Sampler Box and I already looking forward to the end of August for the new box to arrive!   And my first Grandbaby is also scheduled to arrive in August, oh happy day ;)
