Firework Fizz Quilt - Hush Hush

Hi Quilty Friends! I love low volume prints so I am so excited about the Hush Hush Collection - a collaboration of multiple designers for Riley Blake Designs. I seriously love this collection. The low volume prints are fabulous!

 

I decided to make my Firework Fizz Quilt - with scrappy low volume Hush Hush Collection for the background and one print (Blossom Gray) for the block centers. I LOVE it! 

Firework Fizz - Hush Hush 67.5" x 67.5"

Note: The fabric requirements are slightly different below than the pattern as I made my background scrappy and the block centers one print.

Supplies:

• Firework Fizz PDF Pattern available at Etsy (here) or PayHip (here)
• (9) 1/3 yard Low-Volume Prints for Background- Hush Hush Collection for Riley Blake Designs
• 2.25 yard for Block Centers - Blossom in Gray designed by Christopher Thompson for Riley Blake Designs
• 1 yard for Border Fabric - Hush Hush Collection for Riley Blake Designs
• 0.625 yard Binding OR purchase extra Low Volume prints for a scrappy binding like I chose to do - Hush Hush Collection for Riley Blake Designs
• 4.25 yards backing - Swiss Dots Gray for Riley Blake Designs

I chose to cut my border 4.5" x WOF strips (a bit larger than the pattern) as I used the Patchwork Hush Hush fabric and I wanted a slightly larger border. I seriously love these Hush Hush Prints.

The Firework Fizz Quilt is a block based quilt so you can easily adjust the size of the pattern by making more or less blocks! Adjusting the outer border is quick way to adjust the size of the quilt too! 

Firework Fizz Quilt Pattern is written for traditional rotary cutting - but you can totally use your AccuQuilt 8" Qube instead of trimming your half-square triangles. So much easier!

I really love this calming version of my Firework Fizz Quilt. So do my boys. I think they were excited for a non-floral quilt ;).

Spooky Fun Table Runner with Sulky - Free Pattern

Hi Quilty Friends! Today I'm sharing the Spooky Fun Table Runner. It's the perfect pattern to make for Halloween! Plus it is a FREE Pattern available at Sulky HERE. 

The Spooky Fun Table Runner is quick to make and the blocks are so fun to sew! The table runner is perfect for showing off your favorite fabric print as the alternating blocks are a square - perfect for fussy cutting! The adorable Spooky Hollow Fabric designed by Melissa Mortensen for Riley Blake Designs (here) is perfect for this pattern!

I used the fabulous Sulky 50wt Cotton Thread for piecing the Spooky Fun Table Runner and machine quilting! Sulky 50wt Cotton Thread is strong so no breakage when free motion quilting plus still thin to prevent bulky seams for piecing - it's the perfect combination! Sulky 50wt Cotton Thread - available HERE.
