Home Quarter in Bookish

Gail made this lovely quilt using our Highway 10 Designs Home Quarter pattern!  She used 16 fat quarters of the Bookish line by Art Gallery Fabrics to make this large lap sized quilt.

 

I quilted it with the Lavish pantograph, used off white So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.

Gail bought a fun backing called Library of Rarities by Robert Kaufman.

True North Home Quarter Quilt

I am sharing one of my own quilts today.   Last spring I purchased a Kate and Birdie 'True North' fat quarter bundle from Fabriculous and I knew I wanted to make our Highway 10 Designs 'Home Quarter' quilt with it!  I was able to start this one in September at our weekly quilting group that meets in town and I finished stitching the binding on two weeks ago. 

We had our first snowfall this week so it was a perfect opportunity to get some pictures against my favorite snowy backdrop.   I quilted this one with the Ombre pantograph, used beige So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.

The True North collection is such a fun Canadian themed fabric line.  Cute campers, tents, and maple leaves. I mixed in some Grunge fat quarters and used a beige and red Grunge for the borders and binding.

When I was visiting Lori last week we took a few quilts to Lower Fort Garry and she was a great quilt holder for me!

The Home Quarter quilt is a great fat quarter friendly pattern and perfect for directional prints!  You can purchase it in our Etsy shop or Website in either PDF or paper format.

Home Quarter in Woodlands

 Lori made this great version of our Highway 10 Designs 'Home Quarter' quilt using the Woodlands collection by Connecting Threads.  She made the Queen size which is 101"x 101" and takes 36 fat quarters.  

I used the Fascination pantograph, grey So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.

The leaves are starting to change colour here, Fall is in the air!

Home Quarter in Winter Shimmer

When I was at the Saskatoon Quilt Show back in October I bought a fat quarter bundle of Winter Shimmer by Jennifer Sampou. Over the xmas break I decided to make our Highway 10 Designs Home Quarter quilt from it.  I don't usually like metallic fabrics but in this collection it was quite subtle.   

I used Dazzle for the pantograph, beige So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.  The backing is Northcott's beige Canvas collection.

For xmas Tim took a few of my photos and has them enlarged on canvas.  This is one of our favorite photos from our trip to Churchill 3 years ago and the colours work beautifully in our room. I think that is why I was drawn to this fabric collection as it reminds me of that trip!

Home Quarter - Highway 10 Designs Pattern #14

Lori and I are happy to announce the release our latest pattern for Highway 10 Designs, introducing Home Quarter.  It is a Fat Quarter Friendly pattern and is now available in our Etsy Shop in Paper and PDF versions.  We had been asked if we could design another pattern similar to Quarter Sections but make the blocks bigger so that is what we did.  This pattern also works great with directional prints as all the blocks are oriented in the same direction.

I made this first sample using Moda's Sunday Supper collection as I love the colours and variety of prints in this line.   I had this fat quarter bundle sitting my my stash for a few years and not sure what to do with it.  So glad I bought it on impulse as it worked great for this project.  I quilted it with the Plush pantograph, used a light teal So Fine thread and used Quilters Dream Blend batting.

My second sample is made with Lewis and Irene's Winter Garden collection.

I quilted leaves in the outer border and used the Poplar pantograph in the center.  Quilted it with 2 So Fine thread colours, burgundy and grey, and used Quilters Dream Blend batting.

 Our third sample Lori made using a mix of light to dark grey batiks from her stash. Check out her blog post here.

I hope our three samples demonstrate how this pattern works well with any fabric line or fat quarters in your stash!

Home Quarter includes instructions for 6 different sizes from Lap to King and is available in our Etsy shop in Paper and PDF downloadable forms.
