Splash into Living Coral – Free Quilt Pattern

by Julie Hirt

I wanted to share my 2019 Color of the Year quilt pattern.

Splash into Living Color

2019 Color of the Year for Pantone (Living Coral) and Kona (Splash) work really well together. I wanted a quick and easy quilt to commemorate them – they are super beachy and right up my alley.

I found the closest Kona color match for Living Coral is Melon.

Splash into Living Coral

Measures 70 x 82 (width is adjustable by how many yards cut)

Because the width is the same length as yardage cut, you can easily adjust the size.  Your edges will most likely be uneven between white, melon and splash due to cutting differences. After quilting, trim up the sides and you’ll be set.

Materials:
2 yards Kona White
2 yards Kona Splash
2 yards Kona Melon

Cutting:
You will not be cutting with WOF – but across the 2 yard length.

From Splash and Melon cut 1 each:
7.5 x 72 strip
6.5 x 72 strip
5.5 x 72 strip
4.5 x 72 strip
3.5 x 72 strip
2.5 x 72 strip
1.5 x 72 strip

From White cut:
(15) 2.5 x 72 strips

Assembly:
Melon:
Stitch by alternating melon and white strips. Start with a white strip, then alternate with the largest strip (7.5) and working toward the smallest (1.5). Ending on the 1.5″ melon strip.

Repeat with Splash and white strips, adding an additional white strip after the 1.5″ splash strip.

Stitch the melon set with the splash set, smallest color strips in the center.

by Julie Hirt

I like big blocks!

The August blocks for Fat Quarter Shop’s Bella Skill Builder are awesome.

The top block is 24″ and this one is 20″.  Just for funsies I tiled them to see what they’d look like:

Umm… YES!  I totally want to make 9 of the bigger blocks for a 72″ throw. Super fun pattern that would make a good toddler quilt with 4 blocks.

You all know these patterns are FREE, right?  It’s not too late to make your own.  One more month and then on to assembling – exciting stuff!

Free 48″ Carpenter Star Pattern

by Julie Hirt

carpenter-star-627handworks-julie-hirt

Recently I made a large Tree Skirt and had several people on Instagram ask for some info, so I decided to write up a quick tutorial.

627handworks Tree Skirt

This large Carpenter Star comes together quickly and would make a super cute baby quilt as well.

Throw on a border or two to make it throw size.

For the Tree Skirt – here is how I cut the corners, center and skirt line.
Be sure to use a bias binding – at least around the center hole and leave 1/4″ for those points when cutting!

The pattern also includes a coloring page. :)

Would love to see your version if you make one!  Instagram hashtag #627carpenterstar

Bernie Sanders Mini Quilt

by Julie Hirt

Came up with this while playing around with my longarm software.  I used Illustrator to draw the lines for the hair and glasses, then imported into Art & Stitch to turn it into a quilting pattern.

I’m loving the combination of Illustrator with Art & Stitch and have made several modern style E2E designs that I hope to have for sale shortly.

If you happen to be a Bernie fan (or want to make a mini for someone who is) and have a computerized long arm, the free pattern is available at JulieHirt.com under about > downloads. The pattern is the hair and glasses, but if you have the Art & Stitch software you can easily add some text!

Tag me here or on Instagram @juliehirt if you make one.  I used baby blue Kona cotton, Omni Superior thread and Prismacolor pencils.

The fabric is Tucker Prairie by One Canoe Two and I love the color and prints in this line.

Hexie Tiles – Foundation Paper Piecing Pattern

by Julie Hirt

I’ve been seeing a ton of Art Deco style tiles showing up in my Instagram feed lately and decided to make a paper piecing in one of the designs.

The above is what I consider an advanced layout – you will need to know how to sew Y seams to assemble.

hexiesstraight

The organized rows are what I consider a basic layout and you can assemble these without Y seams!

It’s really fun to play around with the placement:

hexies1 hexies hexies2

Just changing up the background could make a huge difference too!

This pattern is FREE through Saturday on my Craftsy site, then it will cost $1.  The pattern includes 2 sizes:  3″ hexie walls and 2″ hexie walls. Which makes approximately 6″ and 4.5″ hexagons.

If you make one be sure to tag me on Instagram @juliehirt
