your weekend dose of Quilt Designs
Do you know what? I am finally making quilt ideas regularly enough that it all begins to flow and comes much easier.
Making clear goals was necessary. In the summertime I imagined that I would make the designs when the inspiration struck, but that didn’t happen as often as I expected or was rarely enough to make me sit still. This month I took a planned and disciplined approach to when I would make designs.
Now I am finally nearing the end of the challenge and can look back with gratitude at all the ideas that I have generated. Yay!
hourglass curves
day no. 22 in #30DaysofQuiltdesign
This one is a fav! Simple, but powerful. I’m digging this color palette too, which suits my new living room. Do you like it?
Park Bench
day no. 23 in #30DaysofQuiltdesign
This one is a casual riff on the hourglass block. Each block would be sewn in two colors, as an hourglass. The quilt can be divided into three sections and there are several standard blocks. I can see myself sewing this for sure.
crossWeave in boysenberry

I love this patchwork idea, which I shared earlier in blues and greens. This time I wanted to try it out in my future living room colors as a possible wall quilt. These tones are delicious together, don’t you think? Made with PreQuilt.
Under the Maple Tree
day no. 25 in #30DaysofQuiltdesign
I first spied this maple leaf block two years ago @thecraftyquilter. It was love at first sight! Today I used PreQuilt to imagine what kind of block setting would please me. This one has some open elements that remind me of looking up from under the tree at the sky.
If you would like to see my designs as they go live and other folks doing the challenge, you can follow the Instagram hashtag #30DaysofQuiltDesign or #30DaysofQuiltDesign2024. For details on how the challenge works, see this post.
Happy Weekend, all!

What, really?!? I never sew on solid white; but, for some reason I am convinced. Maybe because it’s summer? Maybe because it looks so yummy graphically? Well, whatever the reason for this change of heart, here comes a scrappy, dottie rainbow on white.
Our challenge runs now through September. The idea is to post your quilt designs, one per day, and number then to see if you can log 30 Days by September 30th. I highly recommend this exercise! At the heart of creativity is discipline. It’s about showing up and trying, day after day, until something magical is born. Come to the experience open-minded and see what happens!
Hip, hip, hoorah! | did it! I completed my personal 30 Days of Quilt Design and now I have an exciting collection of designs which I look forward to creating in cloth. It was a stretch for me, but I am glad that I invested my time in this challenge over the last few months.
