Forest Panel Baby Quilt and Pillow

Forest Panel Baby Quilt and Pillow

Forest collection is full of adorable animals and fun patterns. The warm color palette makes for perfect fall (or any season, really) projects!

Forest Scene Panel is perfect for baby/kids quilts. The size in this tutorial is more on the 'baby' side, but add another border or two and it would be great for a child of any age.

There is a throw pillow pattern at the end here to use up all the cute panel blocks and leftovers from the fat quarters.

Double Border Pillowcase

Double Border Pillowcase

As soon as I saw this fabric from the Grove collection by MakowerUK, I knew it would be perfect for pillowcases. I love using double border prints for this 'magic' pillowcase technique because, well, it comes out just so cool! No matter what the design, I have always had great results with double border prints as pillowcases.

Bordered Diamond Throw Pillows

Bordered Diamond Throw Pillows

I have been wanting to make a bordered diamond pattern for quite some time now. So, I figured I'd keep with the diamond theme from my last post (Desert Diamonds) and try it out now.

The Floralish collection is absolutely perfect for this. Not only do these fabrics make gorgeous throw pillows, but this pattern showcases the beauty of each fabric. And I just love how all these fabrics work together! I mean - cranes, fruit and flowers?? I love it all!

Applique Diamonds Quilt

Applique Diamonds Quilt

I had this vision for this pattern for a while, but couldn't decide which fabrics to use. Once I saw Desert Blooms by Maude Asbury, I knew it would be perfect! The diamond shape and size really shows of the beauty of these fabrics.

This quilt top goes together quickly, and its easily customizable. Want it a little larger? Add more diamonds. Want it framed? Add a large outer border!

Desert Blooms collection is so fun to work with. I hope you enjoy making this quilt as much as I did.
