Ombre Mountains Quilt - The Moda Grunge One! from Busy Hands Quilts

Today I have a new quilt to share with you - Ombre Mountains in Moda Grunge.  It just may be a new favorite!

Ombre Mountains is available in the Busy Hands Quilts Pattern Shop.



Ah, Those Fabrics!


So now you've seen both ends of the quilt, equally stunning.  A blending of blue-green, blues, to purples, and blush pinks.  

Moda Grunge is so versatile for quilting.  It reads like a solid with loads more depth and character.

Reminder - July's $6 Pattern of the Month Ends Tomorrow - Get Nautical News! from Busy Hands Quilts

This is a last-minute reminder that July's $6 Pattern of the Month is Nautical News!  The sale ends when the clock strikes midnight on Friday, July 31st.  

This #quiltpattern includes 6 sizes - Baby, Lap, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King - and is layer cake friendly for a quick finish.  I've since learned to not name quilts by their fabric collection as it can limit how people see the quilt.  It looks great in many fabric collections, including solids and scraps.


The rainbow Nautical News quilt above was made from my scrap bins.  It includes 24 different Kona cottons.

June $6 Pattern of the Month | Pixelation! from Busy Hands Quilts


June's $6 Pattern of the Month is Pixelation!


This easy strip-pieced quilt pattern looks amazing in the rainbow.  You'll need nine colors in all.  These two rainbow quilts are made with Moda Grunge and have different colors at the top and bottom.


This Sunrise version is made with varying shades from pale yellow to deep red.  It is even more stunning in person, and the customer who purchased it agreed said this as well.


I've also made a black and white version, and while it doesn't photograph the best, it is also stunning in person.  I ...

Rainbow Nautical News Throw Quilt! from Busy Hands Quilts


Oh how I love me a rainbow!  Each square in this Nautical News quilt is a different Kona Cotton solid mixed with modern gray.


Nautical News is a layer cake friendly quilt pattern and is easy peasy!  Cut 'em, sash 'em, join 'em.  :)  Truth be told, I didn't use a layer cake to make this quilt - I just pulled Kona Cottons from my scrap stash and cut three rectangles to the specified size.


The quilt is pictured up side up and up side down to showcase the entire rainbow since the top of quilts is hidden by the quilt ...

This quilt was made as a custom order, and my client chose the exact colors she desired from the Moda Grunge fabric collection.  These mottled, grungy fabrics take a solid color to a whole new level of fantasticness!  She chose a kelly green for the backing and orange ...

Winter Solstice Rainbow Throw Quilt! from Busy Hands Quilts


This week's finish is a Winter Solstice Throw quilt in a rainbow of Peppered Cottons.  The gray chains are made with two shades of gray for added texture.  These quilt blocks were made to test the pattern last spring, and they were set aside until this week.

Winter Solstice has been kitted by Connecting Threads in Faux Linen, a lovely textured-looking fabric in solid-ish colors.  Our color schemes are very similar which is amazing since I was just using a fat quarter bundle I had on hand.

Rosewood Lane Quilt Pattern Update! from Busy Hands Quilts


It's Rosewood Lane's turn for an update!  Last year most of my pattern covers were updated, some patterns were also overhauled inside, and I'm down to the last few needing updated.  Now there are only three pattern covers awaiting updating - Home Awaits, Picket Fence, and Falling Stars.  


Joyce of Liberty Green Quilt Shop in Akron, Ohio has been a consistent wholesale customer of my quilt patterns.  She requested printed copies of Rosewood Lane after seeing the Rosewood Lane in Anna Maria Horner fabrics that sold in my quilt shop last year and requested an AMH quilt for ...

Freedom from Sewn With Curves


How the year has flown by. I didn't believe adults when I was younger telling me that time just flies by as you get older but I am a believer. Now that I am 40, I can only imagine how quickly things will happen. Fingers crossed that I am ready for it.

I lost my sewing mojo for a while, hence the lack of posts in recent months. This was the first time in years that I didn't sew everyone's Christmas presents. I have decided to not put any stress on myself for any reason to finish ...
