Scrappy Herringbone Quilt in Spooky Darlings by Ruby Star Society

Today I'm sharing my Scrappy Herringbone quilt made with a layer cake of Spooky Darlings by Ruby Star Society.  The designers of Ruby Star Society recently chose several quilters to be part of their Ruby Star Makers group and I was surprised and thrilled to have been one of them!

That means that they send me fabric from one of their new or upcoming collections and I get to make something with it and share it with you!  There was a sign up list with the available fabrics and the choices went fast but I managed to snag a layer cake of their collaborative Halloween collection, Spooky Darlings.

Friday Fabric Refresh - Ophelia Quilt Pattern

Happy Friday!  It has been a really fun week.  On Monday, I released my first quilt pattern of the year, a jelly roll friendly pattern called Ophelia.  It was perfect timing because Saturday, September 17th is Moda Fabric's annual National Sew a Jelly Roll Day!  So grab your favorite jelly roll, grab the pattern, and get ready to sew tomorrow!

If you need some inspiration to help you decide what fabric to choose, hopefully this post will help you out.  I have refreshed Ophelia in some other fabrics and I wish I had time to make them all!

Are you ready to celebrate National Sew a Jelly Roll Day on Saturday?  If you are looking for a fun, quick, and free pattern, you must check out the Jelly Belly Bars quilt pattern from Fat Quarter Shop.  

I am helping Fat Quarter Shop celebrate Jelly Roll Day by sharing the quilt that I recently sewed up with a jelly roll of Buttercup and Slate, the newest collection from Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics.

Friday Fabric Refresh - Elixir by Melody Miller for Ruby Star Society

Happy Friday! I'm back with another edition of Friday Fabric Refresh, where I refresh some of my quilt patterns in new fabric so that you can hopefully be inspired and be confident in your fabric choices.

I'm featuring another Ruby Star Society collection today (in case you couldn't tell, I kind of have a thing for Ruby Star fabrics these days!)  I have liked Melody Miller's Elixir collection since it was first announced.  This fabric recently arrived to quilt shops and I think it was originally supposed to be released in March so the wait has felt like an eternity!  I'm trying really hard to resist buying this fabric because I have too much fabric already but it's sooo tempting!  I'm hoping to get my fix with these digital quilts.

The first pattern that I have refreshed today is Besotted which is a fun and easy chain quilt.  The pattern is written for a layer cake.  However, there are a lot of very dark fabrics in this collection and I didn't want my main block fabrics to blend in with the chain fabric.  Instead, I chose 12 of my favorite prints and used each for three blocks.  If you decide to use fat quarters to make this quilt, you will be able to cut enough pieces from each fat quarter to make three blocks.
