Dreamer's Star Quilt Pattern Release

It's been a little while since my last blog post, but I have been working on some really exciting things in my neck of the woods (and I haven't even been snowed in by the monster snow storm!)I am SO excited to be releasing my first independent quilt pattern!  I absolutely ADORE geometric quilt patterns that pack a lot of punch and created this pattern that is available on Craftsy and in my Etsy shop.  The pattern is an instant PDF download, so you can enjoy it immediately :)  The pattern comes with instructions for 3 different sizes-a mini quilt, a 64" x 64", and a 80" x 80" quilt.  One of my favorite things about this pattern is that if you aren't great at combining lots of patterns or colors, all this pattern needs is really 2 contrasting or 2 coordinating fabrics to work well.  But if you're a little more adventurous, go for a scrappy look and be blown away!  Here are a few samples of the Dreamer's Star Quilt Pattern: Dreamer's Star Quilt 64" x 64" made with Michael Miller Cotton Couture in Midnight and Lime Dreamer's Star Mini Quilt made in scrappy blacks and purples Dreamer's Star Mini Quilt made with Michael Miller Cotton Couture and Painter's Canvas I hope you'll check out this pattern that really packs a punch and when you make it, please use the hashtag #dreamersstarquilt and tag me on Instagram @kustomkwilts I SO look forward to what you'll make with this pattern :))Happy Quilting!

Gems in the Night Sky Quilt (Dear Jane-ISH Quilt)

I played with the quilt design for the Gems in the Night Sky Quilt in EQ7 for probably a week straight before I had my final layout the way I wanted it.  I changed the background fabric, moved blocks around, completely deleted blocks, changed color arrangement, the list goes on and on.  It's funny how after you're done with something, all the time you spent on it just kind of vanishes, and you don't think about the labor of love you put into it.  This quilt.  All the hearts.  I had the awesome chance to design and make this quilt for Janome's brand new machine launch--the 9400.  I'm not going to lie, this quilt took FOREVER.  But packing it in a shipping box and saying goodbye forever was nearly as difficult as giving away your first born. And then I saw the picture of it on the Janome website once the machine was released, and it was like seeing photos of a long lost friend.  And I might have squealed out loud at the top of my lungs :)So there were 81 blocks- with 9 different block constructions.  At first glance it kind of looks like someone took a Dear Jane quilt and dumped a bucket of modern over it (which is fine with me!), but if you look a little closer, you will see the blocks are just made with alternating colors and arranged in a way that it deceives you into thinking there are a lot of different blocks in this quilt.  This was pieced with the Michael Miller Cotton Couture bundle that's available at Janome dealers, and the background fabric is Anna Maria Horner's True colors- filigree in dusk.  I think the combination is just dreamy.  Sometimes I love the backs of quilts more than the front.  I like to press my seams open to eliminate a lot of bulk when I quilt.  And then it was quilted with Stitch in the ditch around the bright colors and heavily quilted on all of the AMH fabric.  I had to keep this a secret for so long, that I nearly forgot about it once the machine was finally released.  So I'm finally able to share and show my little labor of love.
