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!!!

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!!!

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.

$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!!!
