This last month I've been working on a beautiful, fun, beginner friendly, scrappy quilt. I was honored to make a test quilt for Preeti at Sew Preeti Quilts. I can highly recommend this pattern, and even if it looks advanced, it's easy and fast to sew. If you use a jelly roll, it will be even easier. There are pictures and graphics, so easy to follow even if your English isn't too good. I used scraps, except for the background fabric, and this is how it came out.
Quilt info:
Made by: Me
Pattern: Topsy Turvy by Preeti at SewPreetiQuilts on Etsy
Size: 55" x 68"
More info:
Here is Preeti's version made from batiks! Her pattern was originally published in Make Modern Magazine, issue 47. She now has it available as a single pattern, on sale (25% off) until September 15th. Visit her blog for more beautiful pictures and another chance to win a copy of Topsy Turvy pattern.
I've had this quilt top with me out to take some photos. Luckily the weather has been nice the last weeks. For this one my plan is to quilt it either by hand or with my domestic machine later this year.
Here you can see that I really used some small scraps in the blocks. And as I often use teal and lime fabrics, I have lots of scraps in those colours in my boxes.
And if you like to see other versions of this quilt, and I really recommend it, you can follow these links for my fellow pattern testers.
You'll have the chance to win a digital copy of this pattern by commenting on this post. If you don't win, you can always purchase it at Preeti's Etsy Shop . Preeti is offering the pattern at a reduced price just now.
I love your choice of colours!
ReplyDeleteOooh, very, very nice! We are of like minds with color choices. I love the yellow pops of yellow in your version. I look forward to seeing it when you’ve quilted it up! Be sure to share! I enjoyed your photo shoot. I live on the coast, too, but we don’t have that fine white sand. Just lovely! XO, Kaholly
ReplyDeleteLove the combination of greens and blues, a real stunner!!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Turid. Thank you so much for testing the pattern, especially since your summer has been so busy. I love all the "by the beach" pictures of a very beach-inspired quilt. I am particularly impressed by your clever use of scraps. It all comes together beautifully!!! Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteAwesome version, Turide!!! I love your colors! And all the photo outtakes are fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun pattern for using scraps to build the blocks. Of course blue and green are a great color combination. I enjoy seeing your quilts by the sea. I’m loving the colors lime and yellow at the moment...a pinnie would be marvelous!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors you chose for this quilt
ReplyDeleteOh Turid, I love your version! A lot of tiny scraps in here, for a beautiful project. Great scenery too for the shooting!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this beauty, and linking up.
That looks like a fun pattern, and is so pretty in your colors! Perfect to match your view, too. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love your version! Those scrappy pincushions are super fun! Any color is fabulous for me!
ReplyDeleteTeal and Lime make a great combination! Your version of Topsy Turvy is fantastic. A selvage pincushion would be fun to have. My sewing area is green with purple accents. But scrappy any combo would be so fun.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely, Turid.
ReplyDeleteYour Topsy Turvy quilt is beautiful! I love the color combination that you used.
