New Happy Quilting Pattern - Twilight Stroll!!

 It's day 4 of my new Happy Quilting Patterns and today it is all about . . . Twilight Stroll!!!    And while I know it looks like you might be piecing on point, you are not.  This is just one block with a little sashing inbetween.  Isn't it so great how it creates the secondary designs that make it look like two blocks on point!   So fun ;)

The  Twilight Stroll 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.   

   

Twilight Stroll is a beginnr skill level pattern.   And this is a scrap friendly quilts so that means you an do some stash busting, especially if you have a drawer of bonus HST's !!  You can also use Layer Cakes if your scrap stash is on the small side (or come "borrow" mine, because my stash is overflowing :)  Techniques used in the pattern include No Waste Flying Geese, Half Square Triangles, and Square in a Square units.  And yes, we make those HST's angled seams nest :)   

This Twilight Stroll quilt is made with Midnight Fleur by Jessica Rose for Moda.    This fabric line will be showing up in quilt shops in November!! The colors just perfectly spoke "twilight" to me.  I also used Vanilla Grunge for the background which is quickly becoming a favorite!    And because this quilt is all about small patchwork, it is important that whatever Layer Cake (or scraps) you choose, that the prints really stand out from the background ;)    And of course, you can always use a dark background as well,  I might already have one in the works with low volume scraps, so exciting;)  

And I had so much fun quilting this one!  Again, I wanted to make the small pieces really pop, so I choose only to do quilting in the background.  It really makes the prints standout!!   I did Figure 8's in the "faux sashing", and pebbles around the "faux on point" blocks.   Just keeping up the illusion that makes this quilt so much easier than it looks.  And oh so much yummy texture, just makes me so happy!!  

  

Twilight Stroll like my Happy Quilting patterns, has multiple size options so you can make whatever size quilt works for you ;)     The pattern has 5 size options :  Baby, Lap, Picnic, Twin, and Queen.    

The lap size is shown in the pictures.  

 

And that is my new Twilight Stroll quilts and Pattern!!!    And I am just so happy to share them with all of you!!!   I can't wait to finish up the black background/low volume version so I can share it as well ;)   It's just such a fun quilt to make!!  And of course,  if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to me ;)  When you make your Twilight Stroll 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 #twilightstrollquilt ;)  I can't wait to see your Quilts!!!

New Happy Quilting Pattern - Turnovers!!

It's day 3 of my new Happy Quilting Patterns and today it is all about . . . Turnovers!!!     This is such a fun quilt to make that will go together super quick.   And with all of it's geometric goodness, it is the perfect quilt design for your  “man cave”  or would make adorable baby boy quilt as well!    So great!  

The  Turnovers 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.   

   

Turnovers is a beginnr skill level pattern.    And the fun thing about this quilt (if you didn't notice from above) is that the design has two layout options.  And all you have to do to get a completely different look is rotate the sashing.   The first picture in the post is Layout 1, and this is Layout 2 :)  The pattern uses basic piecing along with pieced sashing.  And truly, I can tell already that it is going to be one of those go-to quilts!!  I already have plans to try it out for an Alma Mater quilt.  

These Turnovers quilt are made with Secret Garden by Amanda Castor for Riley Blake Designs.    This fabric line is showing up in quilt shops now!! And if you couldn't tell  . . . Turnovers is a Jelly Roll Friendly quilt.   These picnic sizes just need 1 Jelly Roll and an accent and background fabric and awy you go!!      And of course, you can always use a dark background as well, like I did over here ;)  So fun!! 

And I had so much fun quilting these!  You can see the difference in layout a little more here.  So again, Layout 1 is the first picture.  To me it has more of a Modern look, so I went for straight lines criss cross. And Layout 2, the second picture, has a more traditional look to me, so I went for a wavy criss cross.  I love how they both have the same concept in quilting, but straight vs wavy just really adds to the layout ;)  

  

Turnovers like my Happy Quilting patterns, has multiple size options so you can make whatever size quilt works for you ;)     The pattern has 5 size options :  Baby, Lap, Picnic, Twin, and Queen/King.     

And that is my new Turnovers quilts and Pattern!!!    And I am just so happy to share them with all of you!!!   Like I said, I am already planning to make another red, black, and white one and am excited to see the design in solids ;)   So I hope you want to join me and make your own Turnovers quilts!!  And of course,  if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to me ;)  And when you make your Turnovers 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 #turnoversquilt ;)  I can't wait to see your Quilts!!!

So are you ready to start making your Turnovers Quilts, in layout 1 or 2 or even both???  Pop over to my Etsy Shop, to pick up your Patterns.   Again, PDF Patterns are just $6.50, the Paper Patterns are $8.00,  until August 17th :)    And while you are there, check out these other newly released  patterns that are also on the same special ;)  Always good to save on shipping!!

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!!!

So are you ready to start making your Alhambra Quilts???  Pop over to my Etsy Shop, to pick up your Pattern and Template.   Again, PDF Patterns are just $6.50, the Paper Patterns are $8.00,  until August 17th :)    And while you are there, check out these other newly released  patterns that are also on the same special ;)  Always good to save on shipping!!

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!!!
