Playful Precut Quilts Blog Tour

September 7, 2020 by Amanda Leave a Comment

The Playful Precut Quilts Blog Tour starts today!! For the next month a team of amazing quilt designers will be putting their spin on one of the quilts from my new book!

I love all the patterns in Playful Precut Quilts! I thought I would kick things off by showing what you can do by combining 2 quilt blocks from the book.

One of my favorite things about Playful Precut Quilts is that you can interchange the blocks because they are all 12″. This gives you so many ways to be creative!

I used the Gingham Patches Block and the Vintage Treasures Star Block to create this festive Christmas quilt.

The fabrics are from A Festive Collection by Liberty Fabrics for Riley Blake Designs. The background fabric is dark gray linen by Riley Blake Designs. I love dark backgrounds!

I love that this combination of blocks requires NO SASHING!!! The star block already has space around it to give the quilt the look of sashing – only without all the fuss! So once the blocks are done you sew them together! You can totally make this in a weekend.

It’s time to get a jump on holiday sewing! I hope you love this quilt 🙂

Make sure to stop stop by each of my friends’ blogs to see what they’ve created! It’s going to be so fun!!!

Baby Shark Quilt

August 19, 2020 by Amanda Leave a Comment

Every year we look forward to Shark Week! And every year I sew a new sharkey project!

This year I used a pattern from my Playful Precut Quilts book and made this fun Baby Sark baby quilt!

In my book you can interchange the blocks. I choose to use the Rise & Shine block and I made 4 of them.

Also in the book is a pattern for making a 4 block quilt. (pictured above) It turns out it’s the perfect size for a new baby! I’m giving this quilt to my Nephew and his wife who just had their first baby boy.

Spellbound Quilt

July 31, 2020 by Amanda 1 Comment

Make sure you pick up a copy of Quilts and More which hits news stands today! My Spellbound Quilt Pattern is in it!

I used Scaredy Cat by Riley Blake Designs for the fabric. The quilt is an alternating block pattern that creates a chain design.

I love that the pattern isn’t just for Halloween, but you could easily make it with Christmas fabrics or red and blue fabrics!

Mufasa loves it too! He’s just mad he’s not in the magazine 🙂

Playful Precut Quilts

July 30, 2020 by Amanda 3 Comments

Huge news – I mean HUGE news!!! This news is almost 2 years in the making!

I am releasing my very first quilt book with C&T Publishing!!!!! It’s called Playful Precut Quilts. You can pre-order now! It officially comes out on August 25th!!

There are 15 quilt patterns that show off 12” blocks in an engaging variety of settings and sizes.

Since each block is 12″ you can mix and match in the different quilt settings.

Here are a few peeks of the quilts!

There is a fun variety of quilts in the book and since the quilts use precuts it’s easy to customize them to your own style.

I love to make seasonal quilts and there are many options to create seasonal quilts in the book.

Wherever you are on your quilt journey, these precut-friendly patterns make it a breeze to mix colors and prints. With designs that will appeal to every quilter, this book will quickly become your “go to” when you want to make a table runner for your friend’s birthday, a baby quilt for your newborn niece, or a throw for your parents’ anniversary.

I hope you LOVE this!!

When making any of the patterns be sure to tag me on Instagram @jedicraftgirl so I can see! Also use the tag #playfulprecutquilts on any photos you post!

Peppermint Forest Table Runner and Quilt Pattern

July 23, 2020 by Amanda 30 Comments

I know “Christmas in July” is a little cliche but given what’s going on in the world I keep singing “We need a little Christmas…right this very moment!!!”

It feels like everything has been cancelled and its bad news all the time. Christmas cheer might just be what we need!!

My friends Bev from Flamingo Toes and Christopher from the Tattooed Quilter and I decided to do something fun, to spread some early and much needed Christmas Cheer!

So this weekend we are sharing with you 3 patterns for Christmas table runners! Each pattern uses 12″ blocks so they can be interchanged or even made into a quilt! You could also make a small wall hanging or a pillow with the designs! Get creative!

My pattern is called Peppermint Forest. I used Santa Clause Lane by Riley Blake Designs which I’m super in love with!!!

This quilt project comes together super easy! AND if you are super ambitious you can even make a quilt out of the blocks!!

You can download the pattern by clicking HERE.

Mufasa totally approves this project!!

I hope this little project brightens your day!!! Be sure to follow along and post your progress – use the tag #peppermintforestquilt and #needalittlechristmasprojects
