My first Huddle Quilt


IMG_0500-2.jpg

I finished a new quilt!

Yesterday I needed a quiltmaking day. I needed to turn on some music, sit at my sewing machine, and work on a quilt for a few hours.

Luckily, I had an unfinished quilt on my worktable that I started back in December, and never had time to complete.

Update: the free Huddle Quilt Pattern is done!

It was chicken soup for my soul.

In case you were wondering, these beautiful navy and coral fabrics are from the Wanderlust collection from Monaluna. See my unbundling video here.

I sewed it together using quilt-as-you-go techniques, which, looking back, are not really suited for diamonds.

Trying not to let the corners of my diamonds get sewn in the seams was like trying to hold water in a leaky bucket!

But I still love the quilt and am thinking about making another one.

What do you think? Is my ‘Huddle Quilt’ one that you’d like to have a pattern for? (It would be a regular quilt pattern, not quilt-as-you-go).

Let me know in the comments. ❤️

And now I can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on this week… Does anyone have a Designer Zipper Bag to show me? I would love to see! Tag me on Instagram @sewcanshe.

    I’m a bit late to the party but wanted to let you know I’ve been making Designer Zipper Bags. Love, love, love your technique! These bags are so neat and tidy when they are done and they go together so easily. Thank you so much for the videos! Maybe I can link a photo on the next party.

    Hi Caroline! It looks like your new quilt is very popular. Can I get excited about getting the new pattern???!!!! 🙂

  42. Huddle is a great modern quilt. I would like the pattern. I can see it made with a colored background and resize for a twin bed. I need twin bed quilts for Grandkids and right now way to many quilts are only squares It would make a great ISpy Quilt
    I follow you almost everyday as you are very creative and not just quilts or just other sewing.

  46. How do you get all this done! You have a beautiful site – when mine grows up I hope to be able to get as much done as you! And this particular quilt is just beautiful!

    I like that you have a link to your journey with mental health. I have been thinking of doing the same, but haven’t had the courage to "come out" so to speak. The closest I’ve come is a blog post on a quilt I made as a self portrait called Someone’s War. Good luck – and know that you are admired by many! – Aggie, Lavender Quilting Farm

  47. Your quilt is lovely Caroline! Simple looking quilts are what I look for these days. And your quilt looks like a good size.
