March 12 Forest Reflections Quilt Release!

We are less than a week away to the release of my first lap size quilt pattern, Forest Reflections! You'll hear a little more from me throughout this week as I share some of the color ways for the quilt.

I'll also share a special discount code with you for 20% off of the quilt pattern!

Quilt Top

For the Cover Quilt, I really wanted to capture my original design and find the colors in real life fabrics. I was amazed to find the matches to my design in Moda Bella Solids! Even looking at the name of each color helped solidify this design. I've created a helpful image for these colors from Bella Solids below:

I love that this palette is versatile. It would be a great combination for someone who loves the deep hues found in the woods. The colors are bold and enhanced by the quilt's geometric lines. I also appreciate that this can be made for the men in our lives because we all know that sometimes it's hard to find quilts that are ideal for them.

I got my fabric here: Warman Cozy Quilts in Barrington, IL​

For the backing, I found Riley Blake Designs Plaid-Venture Club Fisher Green and it was the perfect combination for the quilt top colors.

Binding

I used the Golden Wheat for my quilt binding and finished it with a big stitch using Wonderfil Spagetti 12 Wt. thread SP53.

Label

Last step for this Cover Quilt is to get my Forest Reflections Quilt Label on! I got the embroidery finished and I just need to attach it!
