Three new quilt patterns are coming to Rye Bread Quilt Co Saturday January 21st! They have been making their appearance over my blog and Instagram for a while, but are finally ready to be shared with you. The patterns include: Contrails (which also comes with the Baby Contrails), Baby Contrails, and The Garden.
Contrails an airplane quilt pattern
The first of my new quilt patterns is Contrails, a 78″ x 84″ quilt for a twin or full-sized bed. I designed the pattern while doodling on a flight back home to visit family. This is a beginner-friendly traditionally pieced quilt, with only 8 diagonal seams, that keeps a range of color and movement. This pattern also comes with the Baby Contrails quilt pattern (read more below).
The fabrics I used for the quilt were:
- Background: Kona White
- Blue 1: Kona Astral
- Blue 2: Kona Nobel Purple
- Blue 3: Kona Celestial
- Blue 4: Kona Nightfall
- Blue 5: Kona Bahama Blue
- Green 1: Kona Peapod
- Green 2: Kona Kiwi
- Green 3: Kona Palm
- Green 4: Kona Brown
- Green 5: Kona Leather
- Yellow 1: Kona Bright Idea
- Yellow 2: Kona Daffodil
- Yellow 3: Kona Mac and Cheese
- Yellow 4: Kona Spice
- Yellow 5: Kona Meringue
- Red 1: Kona Coral
- Red 2: Kona Cardinal
- Red 3: Kona Wine
- Red 4: Kona Primrose
- Red: 5: Kona Persimmon
- Airplanes: Kona Charcoal
It’s a ton of colors, but if you have a lot of width of fabric scraps left over from other projects, this could be a nice stash buster. This quilt also could work with jelly rolls as the stripes are 2″ (2 1/2″ with seam allowance).
Baby Contrails an airplane quilt pattern
The second new quilt pattern is Baby Contrails, a 42″ x 42″ baby quilt. It came about as a baby quilt for my growing nibbling. Unsure of the gender at the time, I wanted to go with something gender neutral but still fun and a little different. Unfortunately, my brother wasn’t enthused about an airplane quilt if they baby was a girl, and I ended up gifting them a puff quilt instead. But really, who doesn’t love airplanes? This is a quick and beginner friendly traditionally pieced quilt that can help use up some of your stash sitting around. It can be gotten as a package with the Contrails quilt pattern or separately.
The fabrics I used for the quilt were:
- Background: Kona White
- Green 1: Kona Mint
- Green 2: Unknown – I forgot to save a swatch of this, it must have been from my super old stash
- Green 3: Kona Kiwi
- Green 4: Kona Cabbage
- Green 5: Kona Leprechaun
- Purple 1: Kona Noble Purple
- Purple 2: Kona Nightfall
- Purple 3: Kona Thistle
- Purple 4: Kona Geranium
- Purple 5: Kona Crocus
- Airplanes: Kona Charcoal
The Garden quilt pattern
The last of the new quilt patterns is The Garden quilt, a 55″ x 55″ lap quilt. The Garden is a traditionally pieced quilt with soft colors. This one took me forever to design as I wanted to make a complex, yet easy to piece quilt. This was also the quilt top that I brilliantly set in poison ivy to take pictures before I quilted it. I’m still trying to determine if I can salvage it. But I was able to make this quilt pattern into a killer vest for my niece.
The fabrics I used were:
- Background: Kona Butter
- Yellow: Kona Meringue
- Gold: Kona Daffodil
- Light Peach: Kona Bellini
- Dark Peach: Kona Melon
- Rust: Kona Paprika
- Green: Kona Mint
- Grey: Kona Charcoal
- White: Kona White
- Brown: Kona Roasted Pecan
A special thanks!
Once again, I would like to send out a big thank you for everyone who has supported me in my quilting endeavors. It means the world to me!
Sew on!
