I'm excited to have joined Quilt Block Mania!
Each month, a talented group of designers create free quilt block patterns that fit a theme and color palette (see the full list below!). For February, the theme is lucky charms and the palette looks like a bowl of Lucky Charms cereal. :)
Thanks for visiting my blog to check out my block!
I decided that my "charms" would be little colored squares in an improvisationally pieced block. I love playing around with improv--it's no rules quilting!

Here's a digital version of my block--unlike my typical quilt designs, I created this one AFTER I pieced the block. Each block is different, and I never know quite how one is going to turn out. That's what makes it fun!
Do you want to make a Lucky Charms Improv Block too?
I'll show you how!I've created a free tutorial showing you how to make this block. If you're new to improv, this is a fun and easy way to dip your toes into the water. It's easy, I promise!
You'll find the link for the tutorial in my newsletter You can subscribe in the righthand sidebar, or if you're on a phone and there is no sidebar, here. I promise I won't deluge you with newsletters--you'll just be the first to know about new patterns, sales, and tutorials.
Thanks so much for stopping by--I hope you like my block! Make sure to check out all of the other lucky charms blocks shared by designers--I found so many fun ones that I'd like to try too!
Check out all the February blocks! Soooo much inspiration!

I've got lots going on today; I'm also releasing a new pattern today, called Frequency. I'm really excited about this modern design, and it's super easy to sew!
 |
Purchase the pattern here. |
Here's a look at the two versions I pieced: Both Full and Half Frequency. Full Frequency uses the Poured Color fabrics by Paula Nadelstern for Benartex. I love the detailed swirls in these prints, and the rich collection of colors. I chose contrasting hues for each column to help the pattern stand out.
This Half Frequency version uses Painter's Palette Solids in bright, citrus-y colors paired with a deep navy background. Negative space is key in this design.
The Frequency pattern is available in my Etsy shop, and if you're a newsletter subscriber, you'll find a code for 20% off, good through Thursday, February 4th.

ReplyDeleteHi Ringo's Mom, the block is on the subscribers only page of my website, so if you still have the link/email I sent you last month, you can use it again. Hope that helps!
DeleteI no longer have the link you sent as I delete emails when I have read them.
DeleteI cannot find in my files the pattern or tutorial for your Lucky Charms block. The only thing I can find is this post. I tried to subscribe but it said I was already subscribed. Can you tell me how to get the pattern and tutorial. Thank you.
