Focus Quilt - Harmony

Fall is in the air and I love the new Harmony collection designed by Melissa Lee for Riley Blake Designs. I love the prints in the Harmony Collection and I definitely wanted to "focus" on the gorgeous fabric so I chose my Focus Quilt Pattern - available at Etsy (here) OR PayHip (here).

The Focus Quilt block has a large center square that is perfect for fussy cutting your favorite prints so you can "focus" on them! I love how the pattern is block based so it was easy for me to make 16 blocks instead of the original 12 blocks to make my quilt a bit wider. I chose to make the quilt larger because I wanted 16 "focus" prints since I couldn't just pick 12 ;).

Hints for perfect half-square triangles:

• If you have an AccuQuilt System - I LOVE using the half-square triangle die for perfect blocks with NO trimming.  GO! Qube (here)
• If you prefer to trim your half-square triangles - the 6.5" Bloc-loc ruler is great! (here)

The illustration prints from Harmony are so gorgeous and I LOVE the colors! 

Another awesome feature of the Focus Quilt is that it is a block based quilt pattern. This means you can easily enlarge or shrink the quilt by making more or less blocks OR you could even add a border! So many possibilities!

Is your favorite Harmony Print: deer, floral, beehives, bees or geometric?
