Homespun - A New Quilt Pattern!

 Today, I am so excited to introduce my new pattern, Homespun!

Inspired by a timeless antique quilt, Homespun marries vintage charm with a fresh twist.  It features a beautiful interplay of large Granny Square blocks and sweet little Plus blocks.  It's designed to come together quickly and effortlessly and will bring a cozy, nostalgic feeling to your home all year round! Best of all, it’s beginner-friendly and looks beautiful in any colorway.

I’ve made two different versions of this quilt so far! For the first one, I used red 10" squares that I received from a swap I participated in last summer.  Here, they're laying out to dry after I soaked them in Retayne to lock in the color and then washed them in cold water to clear out the residue.

I paired them with a solid white background for a timeless red-and-white quilt.  

This pattern goes together in a unique yet efficient way.  You'll make a few different kinds of blocks to achieve the end result.

It's easy; you'll just need some space to lay out your blocks.  It's honestly fun to make!

I sent this one to my longarm quilter, Jen Ostler, who quilted it densely using the Swivel Circle 2 pantograph by Karlee Porter. It’s a tried-and-true favorite of mine that adds such great texture!

Here is the finished red-and-white version of Homespun!  It feels so classic and works easily throughout the year—think Valentine’s Day, Christmas, or any of the patriotic holidays.  Imagine how cute it would look layered with a blue-and-white quilt!

This pattern includes instructions for five different quilt sizes! The one pictured here is the twin-size, which finishes at a generous 78" x 93".  A fellow designer recently teased me because my sizes run a little on the large side, but I love a quilt with a nice, generous drop length over the sides of a mattress!

Look at that texture!

I really wanted to see this pattern in a different colorway—one with scrappy, vintage, homespun vibes! I pulled some gorgeous fabrics from the quilt shop where I work, Makers & Co. in American Fork, Utah. They have put together kits for this exact version, so reach out to them if you'd like one. They won’t last long!

I love both versions of this quilt.  I honestly can't decide which one is my favorite!

This is the throw-size quilt, which finishes at 63" x 78" - perfect for snuggling with or draping over a sofa or chair.

I had this one quilted with a classic Baptist Fan pantograph.  There are several Baptist Fan pantos out there; this one is by Three Sisters Fabrics.

For this quilt, I leaned into one of my latest design mottos - always add a little bit of Tilda and a touch of brown into every quilt! It is my go-to formula for getting that vintage, earthy look I love so much. This style blends so beautifully in my home!

 

Well, I hope you love my new pattern, Homespun.  I would love to hear what you think.  Tell me, which version is your favorite, and do you think you'll be making a Homespun quilt?  It will be beautiful in any colorway, for any occasion!
