I’m excited to share the latest quilt I designed for Bluprint (formerly known as Craftsy) today! It’s called Zoomed In, and it’s available now as a kit featuring their Boundless Strawberry Fizz fabrics. While I had mocked up the quilt digitally (see below) as I wrote the pattern, it was so fun to see how it turned out in person!
This “wrinkle” — the fact that I hadn’t seen the actual quilt until these photos were taken — is an added twist to the process of writing patterns for Bluprint. While I usually have the option of making the quilt sample myself, the timeline is often short. I chose to have them assign this sample to another quilter, and I think they did a great job.
The Strawberry Fizz collection is full of great pastel colors and small florals that are perfect for springtime. Bluprint told me that in order to use my pattern, it would have to work with 1/4-yard cuts of fabric (and not fat quarters either, but full width 1/4-yard pieces). Fortunately, I was able to make it work, and in addition to the blocks, it was also enough to make a scrappy binding!
This quilt would be great inside or outside the house. I can definitely picture it being a super cute picnic blanket! The kit is available from Bluprint. (And as of today, it’s $10 off!)
Enjoy!
Congratulations! Great work!
