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!!!

New Happy Quilting Pattern - Turning Dusk Into Dawn!!

 Today is the sixth and final day of my new Happy Quilting Patterns!!  And last but not least is all about . . . Turning Dusk Into Dawn!!!   This design is all about making a big statement with its big starburst blocks!!  And with four different prints in each block, you get a wonderful blend of colors that really make those accent star centers just pop.  Basically, if you love star quilts like me, this one is so the quilt for you!! 

The  Turning Dusk Into Dawn 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.   

  

Turning Dusk Into Dawn is an experienced beginnr skill level pattern.     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.  With that said, one of the points you do have to line up is an angled seam, but the pin trick really helps to get that in nice and tight :)  

This Turning Dusk Into Dawn quilt is made with Before the Bloom by Danelys Sidron for Riley Blake Designs and it is just hitting quilt shops now!!  I just love the rich colors and goregous floral prints.  And the perfect thing about this line, the beauitful Rust Print that really popped from the rest of the line, made it just perfect for the accent fabric!!   But of course, this quilt will look amazing in just about any Fat Quarter Bundle!  I already made it with soft prints and a black background here . . .  I have another dark background and bright prints in the works, and I am thinking I totally need to make a Christmas version as well.  So ya, super versatile pattern!! 

And this one just came off the longarm!!  Since I was in a bit of a time crunch, I decided to go with a large scale all over design.  But I couldn't choose which one, so I combined several.  So echoed paisleys, swirls, and heart curls for the win!!   And  I am so glad I went with the larger scale quilting because it really matches the scale of the blocks and I think gives them the illusion of being even larger.   So fun, and of course, lots of yummy quilt texture!!! 

Turning Dusk Into Dawn 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.     And again, you can use any Fat Quarter Bundle or just pick some favorites to mix and match.   This quilt is just going to shine no matter what prints you choose!!!  

And that is my new Turning Dusk Into Dawn quilt and Pattern!!!    And thanks again for coming to visit all this week and share these new quilts with me!!!  I am just so happy with these new designs and hope you love them as much as I do and want to make your own ;)   And of course,  if you have any questions at all, while working on this Turning Dusk Into Dawn Quilts (or any of my quilts for that matter)  please don't hesitate to reach out to me ;)  And when you finish 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 #turningduskintodawnquilt ;)  I can't wait to see your Quilts!!!
