Fabric Refresh - Sandalwood Bonus Quilt

I'm back with another Fabric Refresh post featuring my newest pattern, Sandalwood. Earlier, I shared a Fabric Refresh post for the main Sandalwood quilt. Today, I'm sharing refreshed versions of the bonus quilt pattern that is included with the Sandalwood pattern.

There are multiple layout options in the pattern, but you can also come up with your own! You can also change up the look of the quilt by changing how you handle the plain blocks in between the pieced blocks and the border. I've tried to mix up the mockups to showcase some of the ways you can make this quilt work for you.

Fabric Refresh - Sandalwood Quilt

Hello! I just released a new pattern so of course I have to dedicate a Fabric Refresh post to it! There are so many fabric options that look great with this pattern. In fact, I have so many mockups of this pattern to share that I'm going to get right to it!

The first refreshed Sandalwood quilt I'm sharing is shown above and features the Palette Picks bundle by Modernly Morgan for Robert Kaufman. I absolutely love this color palette. It is so cheery and happy and bright. It would make a great spring quilt! This bundle is available as fat quarters, so I chose 12 of my favorite colors from the bundle for this mockup (12 is the number of fat quarters needed to make the quilt).

Sandalwood Quilt - The Pink Lemonade Version

Today I'm sharing the second sample of my newest pattern, Sandalwood. But before I get into the details on this quilt, I thought you might be wondering why I called this pattern Sandalwood. Sometimes, pattern names just come to me and I go with it. Sometimes it's a little more intentional and that was the case here.

I have a new pattern available!! That might not seem like a big deal. I'm a pattern designer, after all. But for whatever reason, this particular pattern just couldn't seem to make it's way to the finish line. The Sandalwood pattern is finally in my shop and I can finally share this sample quilt that has been finished for almost two and a half years.

Fabric Refresh - Besties by Tula Pink for FreeSpirit Fabrics

I'm back today with a new Fabric Refresh blog post! It's been a couple of months since I've done one of these posts. There hadn't been a new fabric collection that made me want to play with it in EQ8

Okay, that's not completely true. There have been several new collections announced lately that I absolutely love, but they won't be in stores until 2024. I don't feel like I should share mockups with fabrics you can't buy yet. 

Or maybe I should, so you can preorder your fabrics? Let me know in the comments if you think I should feature future fabric collections in these posts.

Anyway, back to today's featured fabric collection. I came across Tula Pink's new collection for FreeSpirit Fabrics called Besties while online fabric shopping last weekend. It's full of bright and cheery colors along with your favorite furry friends and non-furry non-human friends. Dogs, cats, turtles, rabbits, fish, hamsters, plus some great blenders.


Tula Pink often has large scale prints in her collections and Besties is no exception. My Stay Square pattern is definitely one of the best of my patterns for allowing large scale prints to shine because you don't have to cut your fabrics into really small pieces.

It's time to share the third and final Halloween quilt that I made this year! It's a Stay Square quilt using the Spooky 'n Witchy collection by Art Gallery Fabrics (just like the Ophelia quilt I blogged about a couple days ago). 

But wait, I'm actually sharing two quilts in this post, so four in total? Sort of. Let me explain...

Ophelia Quilt in Spooky 'n Witchy by Art Gallery Fabrics

I'm back to share the second of three Halloween quilts that I made this year. I really shouldn't be spending time remaking my existing quilt patterns when I have so many unpublished designs waiting to be written and so many other things I want to do to expand Pieced Just Sew. But sometimes I find a fabric and pattern combination that really calls to me and I just can't help myself!

This Ophelia quilt made with Art Gallery Fabrics' Spooky 'n Witchy collection was one of those times. I featured this fabric/pattern combo in a Fabric Refresh blog post a few months ago and I just couldn't stop looking at it. I really, really loved how it looked, especially with the dark background. I don't use dark backgrounds very often and I definitely don't use a dark print very often. There was just something about this one and I couldn't resist seeing if it looked as great in real life.

Turns out, it looks amazing! I could not be happier with how this quilt turned out!
