I have been hard at work on this quilt this month -- featuring the new line, Mesa Verde! As an Island Batik Ambassador, I am provided with samples of various lines of Island Batik fabrics, Aurifil thread, Accuquilt products, and Hobbs Batting to use and share with you!
This line is a fun Western-inspired collection featuring greens, creams, golds, and browns!
For my quilt, I am using our new Honey, Bunny, and Doll pattern, Quarter Cabins, to show off these lovely fabrics!
I used the 20 fabrics to make 25 blocks for this quilt, which finishes at 51" square.
For the quilting, I used a gold-brown Aurifil thread for the quilting and did meandering across the quilt. For the batting, I used a wool blend Hobbs Batting. Thank you to Aurifil and Hobbs Batting for sponsoring the Island Batik Ambassador program!
Frankie the bunny had to inspect the quilt after it was trimmed before the binding was added!
I used one of the dark brown prints for the binding.
This pattern is also now available on our Etsy and Payhip sites! Pick up a copy of this super easy and fun pattern for your next quick project!
I also have a giveaway today -- of a big pile of my Mesa Verde scraps!
Update: the giveaway is now closed and Stephanie is our winner!
Make sure to check out all of the lovely Log Cabin quilts made by my fellow Island Batik Ambassadors!
I keep waffling on which line is my favorite. Today it is Kismet. (you know I love them all.)
ReplyDeleteI would like to make this in Island Batik Primo.
ReplyDeleteColor Pop is my favorite on this hop.
ReplyDeleteColor pop, of course!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt Alison!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite collection is Kismet. I really love the colors in that collection. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would love to use Harper's Garden.
ReplyDeleteI love the shades of Kismet.
ReplyDeleteSince this is such a scrappy quilt, I'd use my abundant scrap pile to make this.
ReplyDeleteColor Pop is my favorite collection, I love bright and cheery colors.
ReplyDeleteI think this pattern would look good as a patriot quilt, red,white and blues with maybe flags as the filler blocks.
ReplyDeleteI was privileged to go to Moda's Warehouse Sale (in Dallas) in late January. I got two grunge stars layer cakes and I would try to make those work for your new pattern. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is Prairie Skies... blues are my favourite colour💙💙💙
ReplyDeleteI do love your colour version with the pop of colour!! Your bunny is the most adorable inspector 💗
ReplyDeleteMy favorite collection is Kismet.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make your cabin pattern in colorpop for grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteI love Jewel Box!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make your log cabin pattern in any of the Island Batik collections!!

ReplyDeleteFaded Blue Jeans is my favorite of the new collections.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Mesa Verde is my favorite National Park in Colorado.
ReplyDeleteI really like your Quarter Cabin pattern! I would make it using an old Island Batik collection (Dotalicious Wind) I have in my fabric stash.
ReplyDeleteI think Catching Dreams is my favorite. I love the blues and purples!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have a tendency to grab whatever fabrics most appeal to me in store, online or in my stash. So I don't have any one line of fabric I would use to make the quarter cabin quilt. Just whatever I was in the mood for at that moment!
ReplyDeleteAll of the collections are pretty. I am really having a hard time choosing, but I will choose Catching Dreams but Prairie Skies is also really pretty. Nancy A: SewingGranda@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI would like to use either Catching Dreams or Prairie Skies to make that pattern.
ReplyDeleteNancy A: SewingGranda@gmail.com
I do like the pretty Sunset Blooms!
ReplyDeleteI think Canning Day would be a fun line to use for this.
ReplyDeleteAncient etchings!!!
ReplyDeleteI would make the pattern using Kaffe Fasset fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI would make this with those scraps of Mesa Verde. Those colors speak to me.
ReplyDeleteJewel Box is my favorite collection.
ReplyDeleteI would make this with FreeSpirit Designer Essentials Modern Solids.
ReplyDeleteLove the Catching Dreams pack, I am hooked on all things purple
ReplyDeleteI think I would make this with the Faded Blue Jeans, with maybe some of the purples threw in
ReplyDelete1 - Bloomers, Kismet, oh heck I really cant choose just one. I love them all.

Colorpop has been my favourite so far. Your quilt is lovely
ReplyDeleteThis week I like Prairie Skies. (But really, I like them all!!)
ReplyDeleteI have a stack of purple fabric I tried to use up with the second purple quilt I made. This would be a good pattern to use up more of it. (I am so sick of purple right now!!)
ReplyDeleteI like "Bloomers" best. But it's really hard to choose!
ReplyDeleteI think I would use bloomers to make your pattern. I've been wanting to make a pink and purple quilt.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Primo fabrics - and I think I'd make the Quarter Cabins in a twin sized version with a grey, teal, purple, blue, green FQ's that are in my stash. You see, I've got 12 grandkids now and would like to get them each a quilt either for their birthday's this year or for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteColor pop is wowzers!
ReplyDeleteAny and all batiks!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite collection is Jewel Box.
ReplyDeleteI would use a combination of Colorpop and Mesa Verde to make Quarter Cabins quilt.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Kismet collection the best!
ReplyDeleteI would like to make a log cabin with the new gradients by Moda collection
ReplyDeleteI like Jewel Box and Color Pop equally!
ReplyDeleteI would use some of my Bonnie and Camille fabrics from my stash!
ReplyDeleteI like them all, but I keep coming back to Ancient Etchings.
ReplyDeleteI would pull random blues from my stash.
ReplyDeleteGreat design, and perfect to show off the colors in this collection.

Your quilt is absolutely beautiful Alison! Mesa Verde is actually my favorite line. Thanks for generously sharing your scraps!
ReplyDeleteI think Quarter Cabins would look awesome in Kaffe Fassett fabric!
ReplyDeleteThe quarter log cabin block is my favorite block! I have used it to make a few table runners and it's stunning in every color and fabric! I love yours, but know it would be gorgeous in my favorite Island Batik collection of Kismet too!

I love Catching Dreams!
ReplyDeleteI would make this pattern in "Faded Blue Jeans". I love blues and this just caught my eye!!
ReplyDeleteI do like the Mesa Verde collection, but my favorite this season is Kismet.
ReplyDeleteI bought a hydrangea fabric with some of it's coordinating line. I used that for the quarter log cabin quilt.
ReplyDeleteAncient Etchings is my favorite of all the splendid lines in the new season.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many possibilities with your pattern! I think I'd use it to highlight my Marcia Derse bundle, which has a lot of contrast in it.
ReplyDeleteKismet is my favorite new line.
ReplyDeleteI like Kismet, or any of the bright collections.
ReplyDeleteMany fabric lines would be lovely in this pattern. Right now I have some pieces of Rainbow Sprinkles that I would love to use in your pattern.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking a patriotic set of fabrics might be good for this pattern; log cabins for Lincoln perhaps?!
ReplyDeleteHmmm- color pop
ReplyDeleteMesa Verde! Thank you, Susan
ReplyDeleteWould love to make this quilt in Prairie Skies! Thank you, Susan
ReplyDeleteI like the Catching Dreams line.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! I love that you put them on point!

ReplyDeleteKismet is my favorite line--love those colors!
ReplyDeletebarbkaup(at)(yahoo)(dot)(com)
I would make a quilt with the Island Batiks "Kismet".
ReplyDeletebarbkaup(at)(yahoo)(dot)(com)
I love the primo colours. Thanks
ReplyDeleteYour new pattern would also look awesome in some K F or tula fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Lovely quilt! Really shows off the fabrics. I especially liked the photo with the bunny on the quilt. So cute.
ReplyDeleteI also really loved the photo with Frankie the Bunny/Quilt Inspector. Your quilt is beautiful and it's a great pattern. I would love to see it in maybe something monochromatic, like Prairie Skies or Bloomers.
ReplyDeleteI love kismet.
ReplyDeleteKisses from Greece.
Love your quilt and the colors! I think my favorite new line is Faded Blue Jeans.
ReplyDeleteWell done. It's a great finish.
ReplyDeleteThe calmness of the Mesa Verde line is still my favorite but just might be that you have created a lovely quilt and that makes me love it even more. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThe colors in Ancient Etchings are attractive too but I I won the scraps, I would make your pattern and add to it as needed. I am new to all this with lots to learn but I feel I could master this pattern. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteA great pattern to show off those fabrics.
