Wellspring Quilt!!

  Along with the Diamond Trails quilt, I shared yesterday, I also got to piece this new  Wellspring quilt for Stephanie, from Fancy That Design House!!   And you just know I so love all of the patchwork goodness in this quilt.   What a fun set of designs, one totally modern and one totally classic.  I just love that!!!    This Wellspring quilt is made with Stephanie's new Wellspring collection  and wouldn't you know, the name of the pattern matches the name of the fabric.  Fun how that works!!  

 

I always love getting to play with Fancy That Design House fabrics!   Stephanie just designs prints and uses color combinations that make my heart happy.  And I love that Stephanie added the small accent triangles in with the patchwork.   It just adds that extra element to a classic design.   So great!  

 

The Wellspring  prints really get to shine in this design, with each block popping in its pretty prints!!!     The quilt is Jelly Roll Friendly and also uses this beautiful Small Panel ;)   I love all of Stephanie’s Hymn towels, and am so glad that she is bringing the prints into her fabrics.   Just precious!!  The quilt finishes at 56" x 75" so it is a fantastic large lap size perfect to cuddle up with a good book!!  

 

And when it came time to quilt it, I decided to continue on with the wonderful grid feel.   So of course, it was wavy arches for the win!!   Wavy basically so I don't have to use a ruler.   And I love the added movement it gives the quilt.    And oh so much yummy texture!! And once again, favorite 402 Pearl was perfect for this quilt ;) 

And that is my Wellspring quilt ;)  I really enjoyed getting to piece this patchwork beauty!!  It was super fun, super fast, and a nice change up after all the diamonds ;)  I really do love the versatility in these patterns and how well this gorgeous fabric fits a whole range of design! 

 

Thanks so much for popping in and sharing this finish with me today :)  

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

Diamond Trails Quilt!!

 I was so excited when Stephanie, from Fancy That Design House, asked if I could make a sample of her Diamond Trails quilt ;)   Stephanie always has such beautiful fabrics and her quilt designs are so fantastic!!!  I was aboslutly blown away by the design of this Diamond Trails quilt!!  It is so modern and unique with it's large floating diamonds and adjoining strips.   This quilt is made with Stephanie's new Wellspring collection  and it is the perfect compliment to theis stuning quilt design!!  

I just love all of Fancy That Design House fabrics, and was really loving the bold color choices in this line!  Those deep Rust, Gold, and Black prints just pop!! And yes, I know the quilt design looks a little intimadating.  But truly, it is a fabulous pattern that will walk you through making the quilt step by step.  I was so happy when everything just fit together so nicely.  Really, such a great design and fabulous instrucions.  Kudos to the pattern designer for all of that angleed quilty math!!  


And along with the beauitful colors, the Wellspring  prints theselves are just so pretty!!!   Stephanie always does such a pretty floral design in her prints ;)   The quilt is Jelly Roll Friendly plus a few extra yardage cuts ;)  It finishes at 56" x 74" so it makes a great large lap size to cuddle in!!  

And when it came time to quilt it, I wanted to add to the trail effect, so I did loose wavy horizontal lines across the quilt.   I I just love how it gives so much flow and texture to the design and I think it goes perfectly with the Modern feel of the design!!   And you all know my favorite 402 Pearl was perfect for this quilt ;)


And  that is my Diamond Trails quilt ;)  I am so happy that I got to make this quilt!!  Truly, I was a little nervous when I first saw the design, but it really was not as hard as I thought it was going to be.  I just took it one step at a time, and wat thrilled with the results ;)  Such a fun quilt to make that was totally different from my normal quilting projects.  Isn't it just so great to sew outside your norm sometimes!


Thanks so much for popping in and sharing this finish with me today :)   I will be back tomorrow with another fun Wellspring Quilt ;)  

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

$5 Pattern of the Month - Dizzy Days Irish Chain!!!

It's September and that means its time for a new $5 Pattern of the Month here at Happy Quilting!!!  And September is all about Dizzy Days Irish Chain.  And it is just $5 all month long!!!   


The  Dizzy Days Irish 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 September.   This is such a fun quilt to make and has endless layout options, so truly, not two quilts will look alike.  It is a fantastic scrap buster.  (which we probally all need a little more of in our lives ;)    It is rated for Beginner quilters and if you don't have a lot of scraps, the pattern is also written for Layer Cakes. (as shown below)  


Dizzy Days Irish Chain  has 6 size options.   It is an extremely versatile deign.   It just uses basic piecing and sashing to continue your chain.  There are four different block designs that can each be roated 360 degress, which makes for a different layout every time you make this quilt!! 


And like I said, Dizzy Days Irish Chain  is a super versatile design.   It looks aweome in a rainbow of scrappy colors.   It looks awesome in one fabric line with all of it's beauitful prints, and you can even use a more monotone fabric line, as shown.  Anyhow, it is going to look awesome!!  And notice how I tend to not quilt the print squares, that really makes your chain pop!!  


And remember, you don't have to use a white background either!! You all know I love a good dark background for making the prints just pop.  So pretty :) 
  

And that is my $5.00 Pattern of the Month!!!  September 2026 is all about Dizzy Days Irish 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 Dizzy Days Irish 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 #dizzydaysirishchainquilt ;)  I can't wait to see your Quilts!!!
