New quilt design: Natural Corridors

6 Replies

I am thoroughly enjoying Threadbias’ quilt designer tool at the moment. Here is my second quilt design “Natural Corridors” which I designed to by simple, minimal and asymmetric. The design is inspired from my ecology background…natural corridors exist connecting wildlife populations, these are essential for biodiversity but are rapidly decreasing.

I am using this design as my entry for the Critter Patch (the fabric line in the design) Baby Quilt competition over at threadbias.com. You can check it out here, and while you are there have a go at using their designer tool.

If anyone has tips on how to write-up a pattern, discuss what steps you should take, what not to do….. I would love to hear them.

It has been a couple of weeks since I shared some fabric, don’t let that fool you though, as I have plenty to show 🙂

Here are a couple of additions, both are great stash builders. I have a lot of black text so I only picked up the ocean, clementine and grass of the Sun print text, from Stash Modern Fabric. I love the colors of these 3.

Also, look at these wonderful zig zags from Moda, the small half moon zig zag bundle from Fat Quarter Shop.IMG_8588

For this month’s “A lovely year of finishes” I am targeting to finish one of 3 quilt tops. I do not think I will get that quilt top finish, but the good news is I finished my first quilt design for the first quilt.

I had mentioned that I was looking to do something like this:

Well then I was in a meeting the other day, and someone had put up a powerpoint slide, which lead me to designing my own block using threadbias.com. It has a set of arrows that point in (this way) and a set of arrows that point out (that way). Here is a look at the block:

The quilt is for a boy who loves blue, so playing with blues and this design here is what I think  the final quilt will look like. What do you think?
