Everlasting Blog Tour - Ribbon Weave Quilt




When my friend Sharon Holland asked me to be part of her Everlasting Blog Tour promoting her Everlasting fabric collection from Art Gallery Fabrics, of course I said yes! 

I've known Sharon for seven years, and she's the reason I started designing quilts--she taught me how to create diagrams (and quilt designs) in Illustrator when we both worked for a quilting magazine. (So thank you again, Sharon, for teaching me those skills!). If you don't already, I highly recommend following Sharon on  Instagram. Everything she posts has an artist's touch. You can follow me, too, here.




Here are all of Sharon's Everlasting prints:


I've got a huge soft spot for all things teal, so I immediately gravitated toward the teal and blue prints in the collection. And those bluebirds! Here are the fabrics I chose to use.


I used the Everlasting prints to sew my Ribbon Weave pattern. The original design started with a Snail's Trail block, believe it or not! I love the overlapping woven look the navy and teal prints create, but I think my favorite part of this quilt is the skinny print border. 


This quilt measures 37" square--it's perfect for a wall hanging or a table topper. My boys happily drank those pink lemonades after I finished photographing this set up!


I really love the bluebird Summer's Dance print as the background in this quilt. The birds have a soft watercolor feel to them, and they're beautifully spaced across the fabric--it's so light and airy! 


But my favorite print is the small floral on navy, called Flower Keeper.These flowers, leaves and vines are so delicate! I used this print in the center of each block, for the outer border, and for the binding.


One more beauty shot!

  5. It's fascinating how a DIY project can lead to pondering the riches of a fictional character like Bruce Wayne. Your blog post certainly got me thinking beyond just towel racks! Keep up the great work with your creative endeavors, and thanks for the inspiring content.
