Bittersweet Lane
Spring Quilt Market was virtual this year, so there weren't any pictures of all the smiling Moda designers in their booths, showing their new quilts. However, you can go to Moda's Cutting Table blog to see all the shining faces in videos from many of the designers (including me!) with new fabric collections. Mine is called Bittersweet Lane and I'm LOVING working with it. Click HERE for a printable link to the swatch chart to start your wish list.
I use this chart when designing quilts, ordering fabric and as reference for future lines to make sure they blend from one to the next, but don't repeat prints. Here's how to read my fabric charts.
*The name of the line and when it will ship to quilt shops is the in the center.
*The sku number for each print runs vertically down the left side. There is a tan of each print - some are in a multi-colored prints (#11) and also a tone-on-tone (#21).
*The color numbers are listed across the top horizontally - tan 11, gold 12, etc. My color numbers stay the same from one line to the next, so if you have a sku with -14, you can be confident it's blue. If it's -19, it's always black. These numbers are also listed on the selvedge edge of your fabric.
*The quantity of each color of fabric - how many tans, reds, blues, etc - is located on the bottom right. If you have a pattern that requires (4) strips of (5) different colors, you'd be good to go with this Bittersweet Lane Jelly Roll.
*If there's white space, it means that particular print doesn't come in that color. For example, print 9641 is not available in red.
*When you're perusing our website, keep in mind we sell our fabric in 1/2 yard increments. If you want 1 1/2 yards, order a quantity of 3. We'll cut and send 1 1/2 yards in one piece, not three 1/2 yd. chunks.If you're interested in 2 yards of 9643 print in blue-14, you would order a total quantity of (4) 9643-14.
Bittersweet Pumpkins Booklet
One of the quilts I made using Bittersweet Lane is the Pumpkin Sampler. I gathered an assortment of fat quarters for the pumpkins and used a Bittersweet Lane Honey Bun for the setting blocks and pieced border. It has such a crisp, fall feel with the addition of the pumpkin stems & leaves.
This quilt was inspired by the project I designed for our KT & Friends Retreats this summer (that we unfortunately had to cancel). I was working on the retreat quilt when Bittersweet Lane sample yardage arrived and knew I had to make one featuring pumpkins. The retreat quilt, Bittersweet Sampler, was made with my Through the Years fabric collection and a Layer Cake.
It has the same framed blocks with the fun setting blocks, but I changed up the pieced border for fun. Both quilts finish 63" square, but would be easy to make larger with more precuts/fabric.
The Bittersweet Sampler and Pumpkin Sampler are included in the Bittersweet Pumpkins booklet that comes out in October, but you can own it in July as part of our KT Retreat Box. Watch for details right here July 1st.

ReplyDeletePerfect! You're ready to go!
DeleteYour Bittersweet Lane fabric line is pretty and I love your Bittersweet Pumpkin quilt!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was fun to make.
DeleteOMG Pick me pick me! :) I was on the Moda site earlier this week because after receiving my Sweet Holly fat quarters I did NOT think you could ever top yourself but I clicked the Fabric Downloads link and was blown away! And THEN I saw the patterns!!! If you keep outdoing yourself like this I will never be able to retire :) I can't wait till October...GREAT JOB!
ReplyDeleteJackie, you are too kind. I love getting feedback from all of you so I know if I'm on the right track for the future.
DeleteDefinelty want to make that pumpkin quilt!! I love Fall and your Bittersweet collection is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Moda did a wonderful job on the colors.
DeleteFall is my favorite time of year but I have yet to make a pumpkin quilt! I don't really like "halloweeny" decor but love fall decor so this would be perfect! I love both the pumpkin quilt and the Bittersweet quilt. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteI don't decorate with much Halloween either, since we're usually on our way or at market. Fall lasts for months at my house.
DeleteThis looks like a really pretty fall quilt pattern. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Love your name :).
DeleteI have quite a few fall fabrics. This would be a nice fall quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great way to dig into your stash. I plan to make another one with a different pumpkin print for every block.
DeleteI love pumpkins and gotta make this!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy. Send pictures when you're done.
DeletePumpkins are a favorite of mine and made with Kansas Troubles fabric makes it perfect. Love the colors in your Bittersweet Pumpkins quilt.
ReplyDeleteBittersweet Lane came together so beautifully. I just hold my breath until the mill sends back the first strikeoffs. I think they're getting to know what I like.
DeleteBittersweet Lane is another perfect fabric line. Can't wait to add some to my Kansas Trouble stash. Fall is my favorite time of year so the Bittersweet Pumpkin Quilt would be a wonderful addition to my fall decor.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Hope you're enjoying your Sweet Holly charm and mini charm from the past giveaway.
DeleteNoticed that the pumpkins were turned this way & that so your pattern is the one I’ve been looking for. Why? When not in use it could be folded in different ways for the back of the sofa or rocker therefore no permanent creases being made & pumpkins always right side up. Also I like the different designs in the pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. It was important to me to have the pumpkins non-directional for all the reasons you stated. So many more options for display.
DeleteYour oranges are the best! There are some very nice prints in Bittersweet. I hope my LQS get them all. I love being able to see & touch the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Always check with your LQS first, but know we always have KT fabrics for you, too.
DeleteYour Bittersweet Pumpkins is adorable! Fall is my favorite season!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I love fall, too.
DeleteI love the fall season! The Bittersweet collection is beautiful. The booklet is a must have!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like it.
DeleteYes, I would love to win this booklet! Both versions, although similar, are different and look wonderful in different color ways.
ReplyDeleteRight? I'd love to make it in red,tan,blue, too. Of course, right now, everything makes me want to go patriotic!
DeleteI just love Autumn! Your Bittersweet line is fabulous - thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet, thanks.
DeleteYour new line, Bittersweet, is lovely and has some yummy pumpkin prints. There's something about fall and pumpkins that I love and this pattern is a perfect combination! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMy husband laughs when I call a color or fabric yummy. Glad someone else gets it.
DeleteLooking forward to getting some of your Bittersweet collection when it arrives. Would love to make the pumpkin pattern. Thank you for chance to win.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteI love all your fabric lines, but your fall lines have always been my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI'm inspired by fall in Kansas. I'm so ready for the cooler weather, it's always a favorite time of year for me.
DeleteThis fabric line is gorgeous! I love your pumpkins and golds! I especially appreciate that your lines work so well together. If a specific fabric for a project is no longer available I know that there will be one from a later line that will work perfectly!!
ReplyDeleteIt works great for me, too, trying to kit older projects with new fabrics as we sell out in the store.
DeleteI have some fabric from every one of your fabric lines, I think. Bittersweet Lane looks yummy and would fit right in. I also love pumpkins, and I can't wait to make the pumpkin quilt.
ReplyDeleteShow me your stash! That's over 60 fabric lines and counting.
DeleteI love this pattern!! I love everyone of your fabric lines, and appreciate how they all go together!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I think it makes it so easy to shop when you know the colors you buy today will always go with lines that come out in the future.
DeleteWhat an appropriate name for a fabric line coming out in the year 2020. "Bittersweet" Let's hope by fall that word will only be used in your fabric line! Love the Pumpkin Sampler.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It was already in process a year ago, so I can't claim to be clairvoyant. Hope this year goes smoother in the second half.
DeleteI love autumn and especially the more subdued tones you have in Bittersweet! This would look great in my livingroom.
ReplyDeleteOver the past 3 years, I've slowly lightened the tans and brightened the darks. They still blend well, but I needed a little more lightness in my life. Glad you like it, too.

ReplyDeleteEFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET EX HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND OR EX WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AND CURE HERPES AND INFERTILITY THAT WORKS WITHIN 24 HOURS.
ReplyDeleteContact Dr. Odunga at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR Whats App/CALL +2348167159012
I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Doctor ODUNGA and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and later he gave me his WhatsApp number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Doctor Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. I and my husband reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO DOCTOR ODUNGA. I came online to say this If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man.
Contact his email at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com
OR Whats App/Call +2348167159012 and you too will give a testimony too to help others
