How They Shine - New Happy Quilting Pattern!!!

I am super excited to share all about my new pattern quilts this week!!!    So let's get right to it ;)  Here is How They Shine!!! I just got to teach this class at Garden of Quilts two weeks ago, and we had such a great time making these fun star blocks!!!    

The How They Shine 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 $5.50 and the Paper Patterns are $7.00!  The patterns are full color and the paper version is in book format.  

How They Shine is such a fun quilt to make and is the perfect quilt for any occasion.   You could totally make a Holiday Version, or Wedding Quilt, or just about anything with this super versatile design.  Just change up the fabric and you will get a whole new look.   The quilt is made with HST's, Stitch and Flip Corners, and basic piecing so it really comes together quick.   And with the two layouts of blocks, you get some wonderful secondary patterns in the design.  

This version of How They Shine is made with the gorgeous Petal Song Fabric Collection by Corri Sheff!  I fell in love with these rich colors and gorgeous prints.   And since you use just one fabric in each block, it really shows off your fabric choices!!!   I really think you are going to love it and like I said, the sky is the limit on which fabrics you make it from ;)  

I quilted this version of How They Shine with one of my favorite's when I have a "grid" in the piecing.  I did some fun Wavy Orange peel that I echoed to add more texture.  I just love the way it makes these blocks just pop!!  I added a little curly q border around the outside of the quilt to make the "grid" work and it sets everything off just perfectly.  

And if you are wondering . . . haven't I seen this before, you are correct?   I shared the original How They Shine back in 2018 as part of the Fat Quarter Favorites book for Martingale.  But since Martingale has closed their doors, I know can release this How They Shine Pattern as part of the Happy Quilting Pattern Library and include multiple size options!!!  

So let's share those sizes.   You will find 5 size options in this pattern:  Baby, Lap, Twin, Picnic, and Queen.  So now you can make the quilts in just the right size for you, or make one in each size :)   I already have a baby size in the works, tee hee hee :)  

And that is my new How They Shine quilt and Pattern!!!  And yes, my Happy Quilting Patterns have a new look, but they are still filled with full color - wonderful illustrations to guide you along each step of the way.   You are going to have so much fun making these quilts ;)  And of course,  if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to me ;)       

    

So are you ready to start making your How They Shine Quilts???  Pop over to my Etsy Shop, to pick up your Patterns.   Again, PDF Patterns are just $5.50, the Paper Patterns are $7.00,  until October 1st :)    And while you are there, check out these other newly released and re-released patterns that are also on the same special ;)  Always good to save on shipping!! 

Oh, And when you make your How They Shine 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 ;)  I can't wait to see your Happy Quilting Quilts!!!

Simply Jelly Roll Quilt Along - Week 1

I was so excited to Celebrate National Sew a Jelly Roll day by joining in with the Simply Jelly Rolls Quilt Along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop.   There will be new posts each Friday, now through the end of October and it is going to be oh so much fun!!! 

 This is a fun sampler quilt using blocks the new Simply Jelly Rolls book that was just released!!   All you need to get started is a favorite jelly roll and some yardage :)  You can download all of the Fabric Requirements and get the Block Release Dates here ;) 

I am planning on using the new Evermore Jelly Roll by Sweetfire Road.   I just love all of her lines and I am head over heels for the colors and prints in this new Evermore collection.   I think it is going to make such a pretty Simply Jelly Rolls Sampler Quilt!!

So how about I share the Week 1 Blocks!!!  Aren't they just so fun.  I loved using the plaid prints for these super geometric blocks, I think they are just going to be the perfect first row for this quilt.   You can find the Week 1 - Pretzel 2 Blocks Cutting Guide here.  

For this weeks "assignment" we needed to make 4 of the  Pretzel Two Blocks.  They went together super fast, so don't feel like you can't jump in now and get all caught up by Friday ;)   They really are so much fun to piece!!! 

So are you joining in the quilt along star fun as well??  Be sure to share all of your Simply Jelly Rolls Quilt Along on social media with #SimplyJellyRollsQAL and check out Fat Quarter Shops post for Week 1  for lots more Inspiration!!!

National Sew a Jelly Roll Day . . . Inspiration and Giveaway!!

Today is National Sew a Jelly Roll Day!!!!   And I am celebrating with a Giveaway (see end of post!!) 

Just in case you don't have a project picked out . . . Here is some last minute ideas if you need a little Jelly Roll Inspiration :)

Petal Pop is probably my most popular Jelly Roll friendly pattern.  I have taught this class so many times, and it is always a favorite among students.   It would be a great one to sew up tomorrow, and it comes in multiple size options, so you don't have to make this big King size ;)  

Braided Irish Chain is also another popular one of my Jelly Roll friendly patterns. In fact, I just taught this class yesterday at Garden of Quilts!!   Oh so much fun ;) 

  

And I also have a lot of great Jelly Roll Tutorials!!   One of my all time favorites is my Read with Me quilt.  This book quilt is easy to make with Jelly Rolls and then just a bit of applique to finish it off.  I just love this quilt, and it is still a treasure in our home.   And most of all, I just love this picture, how cute are my kiddo's :)   They are now 16, 14, and 12!!

And if you have an Ombre Jelly Roll, or any solid color Jelly Rolls for that matter, Shine would be a great quilt to make up!!!   You all know I love a good Chain Quilt and this one really lets you play with the color placement in the chain.  So fun!!!

And Playing the Scales is also another popular one and it has a FREE PDF Pattern for it.     It is a great one for using up some of those low volume strips we don't know what to do with ;)

And I am super excited to be starting my own Jelly Roll Project today as well!!!  I am joining in the Simply Jelly Rolls Quilt Along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop!!!  All you need to join in is a Simply Jelly Rolls book, a favorite jelly roll (I am using Evermore!!) and some yardage :)   I can't wait to get started!!!

And for today's giveaway . . . I have a Simply Jelly Roll book for one Happy Quilting reader!!

To enter . . . Simply leave a comment of what you plan to do to celebrate National Sew a Jelly Roll Day!!!    It's that simple.   I will choose a winner on Tuesday ;)  

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting (and Jelly Rolling) Weekend!!!
