Paw Prints - Fabric Options

One of my latest patterns was designed to use the Polar Hugs collection by Northcott.

I thought it would be fun to try my design in two other fabric collections.

Rock City by Banyan Batiks - this collection will be in stores in December 2018

 Strokes of Brilliance by Northcott - in quilt shops now.

These 2 version look so different from the original one.

I used Electric Quilt software to try these other fabrics for my design.

Did you know that you can download fabrics to use in your EQ software?  

Here is a video showing how to do it. 

Some of the screens are slightly different now. 

The basic steps are:

Select 'Products' on the main menu

Choose one of the sections
(Coming Soon, Banyan Batiks, Current Collections, etc.)

Select the Fabric Collection you would like to download
(click on the Collection Name)

Click 'Download Fabrics for EQ' button
(in the column on the right side of the screen)

A 'ZIP' file will download.

Then use the video to help you 'unzip' the image files and save them on your computer.

Have fun designing!

3 Finishes for 2018

Three new patterns were finished over the weekend and have been added to the website.

Swing Along is a child's quilt or coverlet suitable for Beginners and more advanced quilters will like this quick-to-make project too. 

The large quilt is 47" x 56".
The small quilt is 36" x 36".

Fabrics: Sleepy Sloth by Northcott  

Only 4 stunning fabrics are needed to make Gemstones II. Strip piecing and easy connector corners make this project quick and fun.  Choose a textured background for your quilt; blue and white backgrounds are shown in my pattern.
Quilt size: 59" x 79"

Skill Level: Confident Beginner

Fabrics I used: Strokes of Brilliance by Northcott

Night Blooms quilts are a perfect showcase for Imogen Skelley's bright multi-layer floral designs found in Northcott's Floral Fantasy collection.

The small quilt is 29" x 47" and is suitable for Beginners.

Intermediate quilters will enjoy making the large quilt (39" x 57") with its lattice border (not paper pieced).

You will find all these patterns in the Patchworks Studio store.
