If you're new here, hello! I'm Laura! I design quilt patterns, and I'm a self-proclaimed deal hunter! Be sure to join the popular Quilting & Sewing Deals Facebook group where I post sales, deals, and coupon codes from all around the web!
The quilt is a traditional log cabin pattern, but made with chambray! All the fabrics are from Robert Kaufman.
The denim-colored fabrics are from the Neon Neppy collection and have neon specks of color in them! (There is grey, denim, blue, royal, and charcoal. The magenta chambray is from the Greenwich collection.)
The quilt was pieced and quilted with Aurifil 50wt Grey #2605.
For quilting, I used the walking foot on my domestic machine to quilt straight lines across the quilt. I really wanted to do cross-hatch quilting (quilt the diagonal lines the other direction too), but couldn't squeeze it in before the deadline.
The quilt is just barely a cover girl (can you spot it in the bottom left of the cover??).
And the quilt makes appearances in the table of contents on page 4, in the actual pattern on pages 12-16, in the "Material Difference" article on pages 18-19, and on the inside back cover where you can buy a kit! The quilt is even featured on the homepage of The Quilting Company website right now!
This is my first quilt pattern in a print magazine! (I've had quilt blocks published before - in November 2016, April 2017, and November 2017 - and a pattern in a digital magazine.) And I'll tell you a secret - I have two more quilts in upcoming issues of Quilty too!

Although the magazine named the quilt "Somewhere in Indiana," all my pictures were taken "Somewhere in Missouri" (aka our frosty yard in February!).
I love the way this quilt feels! The chambray is so soft! A completely different feel than a traditional cotton fabric quilt. I just want to snuggle up in it!

I will be signing every copy I can find! (They always have Quilty at my local Wal-Mart!) I think I'll leave fun notes inside too!

Congratulations! It is beautiful. I may need to get some of the Chambray.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Laura! It's a gorgeous quilt. I never thought about signing the copies of magazines at a store...that would be such a fun surprise for the buyer! It would be especially fun here because we live in a very small town :)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to have your first print publication! The quilt is just lovely. It looks like you had just the right amount of wind for stunning outdoor pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is fun! I don't think I've ever seen chambray. I'll have to keep an eye out for it. The little flecks of color really add something.
Those fabrics are really fun and give really neat depth to the quilt. Congratulations on the publication and what a fun idea to go sign the local magazines. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! Great colors...now I'll have to check out chambray!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt, congratulations on the publication. I need to look for this magazine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt. I wondered how chambray would work up and now I can tell. Congratulations on being published. In a time when so many print mags are going digital, this is fantastic. Sign every copy you can get a hold of.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I thought Quilty had been discontinued and it was one of my favourite magazines. So I am happy to see that it still exists and that you have a pattern in it. The fabric is really lovely and I like the soft palette with the pop of magenta.
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty! I don't think I've ever used Chambray, but I may rethink that after seeing yours. The colors are amazing and I want that neon dot one so bad now!! And a huge congrats on the magazine! It's always exciting to see it in print!!
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics for this, and a perfect name too! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWhat a grogeous quilt and that fabric is to die for. I love the specks in that one piece! I would be like you - stealthily going along and signing magazines whereever they are. Congratulations on this publication!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful quilt! Love the colours together! And, after looking at it, not only do I want to buy some chambray, I want to buy shares in it. Hope you have lots of pens for autographing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being published! Chambray, what a great idea, I think you may have just started a new trend :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the publication of your first quilt and your upcoming publications too! I wish you great success!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I have these fabulous visions of you sneaking into Wal-Mart in a long coat and sunglasses to stealthily sign copies!!! It makes me giggle.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm smiling at the idea of you sneaking into Walmart to sign your magazine. What a fun surprise for someone. Be sure to leave a note! That would be so awesome to find. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteMissouri and southern Indiana look pretty similar in February! Gorgeous quilt and yay for all the coverage and a KIT!!! I am totally intriqued with the neon specks+chambray...will have to scout some out for myself!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous quilt! I love the flecked chambray, so pretty and subtle. Congrats on being publishing in the magazine. Woo hoo, go you!! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt! Somewhere in Indiana?, perhaps the northern part where I live. Congratulations on being published!
