Layers of Love Preview Week #7 - Kiera's Kickin' It
Our 6th oldest granchild, Kiera lives in TX with her big brother, Ethan. Soccer is a year round sport down there, so she really had no choice but to play along. Her Dad and big brother coach her team of very serious little girls. Grampa Robert lovingly calls little kids' soccer 'herd ball' since they all follow the ball all over the field like a herd of kicking, flailing colts. So much fun to watch! In honor of her love of soccer, I've created a quilt that's fun and playful. Moda's newest precut, Honeycombs (6" hexagons), even kinda looks like soccer balls, so they're great for making a personalized quilt for the soccer player in your life. My inspiration for the layout came from a quilt in Loose Change called Pennies from Heaven. We layered and stitched a smaller tan square on a larger dark square, then cut the blocks in half and staggered them in vertical rows for a simple but striking lap quilt. It's perfect for the guy on your list and only requires a Layer Cake & 1 fabric. |

ReplyDeleteJenny & I just shot several more tutuorials on projects from Layers of Love plus a question/answer video. Watch for them in the coming weeks!
DeleteI love quilts, I love quilt history, and I love to sew. My latest project was helping my daughter make a baptism gown for her daughter (my first grand, Emma Caroline) out of antique linens that were made and tatted by my new granddaughter's great-great-great-great grandmother Caroline. Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI just finished five and dime and loose change quilt tops. Love all the variations in this book! Time for another one.

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your new book. I think it will be great.
ReplyDeleteLove your fabs, books and ideas. Not kissing up just fact.....LOL
ReplyDeleteWhen I started quilting in 2003 the local quilt shop was a fan of Kansas Troubles. I instantly fell in love with you fabric and patterns. Soothing colors, yet some patterns can make the fabric colors pop and become what I call a "fun" quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm just finishing a quilt from your Loose Change book - it is time to search for a new KT project. Would love a copy of your new book!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to add your new fabric to my stash! It's to die for! Love your new book too. Thank you !
ReplyDeleteHerd ball ... too funny. I miss the Saturday mornings spent at the soccer fields, but my grands now swim, so I'm still getting to watch them compete. What fun!
ReplyDeleteI love that hexie version of Pennies from Heaven!
My comment is simple....I just love the tones of your fabrics and can just feel myself wrapped up in them.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the giant rickrack! But then again, I love everything you do...so a no brainer. Can't wait to get my hands on your new book! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the honeycombs! I'll have to give that a try.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilts! These patterns are ones that anyone would love.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the Pennies from Heaven quilt. The honeycomb technique looks fun too. Looking forward to seeing the new book.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing to me how your fabrics come together. I am doing a BOM from FatQtrShop that is using your fabrics. The quilt is a reproduction of Kansas City Star pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love anything that says Kansas Troubles!
ReplyDeletewhat a smart way to use hexies.
ReplyDeleteYour "Layers of Love" book is chock full of wonderful patterns. Whoever wins it will love it, I'm sure. (I hope it's ME!)

ReplyDeleteI've already pieced two of your layered quilts, and love the process.
ReplyDeleteI'm anxious to get your new book and "Paisley Park" Keep up the good work. Rows by Roses
Love the way the colors work together
ReplyDeleteJust purchased some new Holly material...I love it! Can't wait to make something out of it. We have a quilting group that meets once a month. Most of the material is from the Kansas Troubles collection. (We are all country girls!) Looking forward to the new book.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you used the half hexies--what a fun quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love the layering technique and quilts in Layers of Love! Great patterns for beginners like me. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOur weather in Oklahoma was perfect Saturday for my son's backyard wedding. Lots of people admired my KT quilts as they strolled through the house.
ReplyDeleteSummer is flying by too quickly! Jeannine aka j9knits, upstate NY
ReplyDeleteI have never tried the layer technique but think it would be fun.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte S.
Love your fabric and layering technique!

I really do like Pennies from Heaven from your Loose Change book. I have the book and both of the rulers, but have yet to make any of the projects from the book. Hope you are keeping cool! This 98-100* weather is not fun! Thanks for the chance to win your new book. HUGS... and stitches
