Finished! Validate meeeeee.

Some encouragement for anyone else considering this project:

♡ I queued my various progress posts, and it actually only took me about one long weekend of work, not counting last minute trips to the local quilt shop and hand-finishing my binding.

♡ Apart from the lining, this is about 75% made from one jelly roll, with some support from existing scraps and maybe 1, 1 1/2 yards of additional fabric. (The jelly roll is the celestial batik from Missouri Star.) Now, I'm fat, this pattern has lapels, and this is cut to a Seamwork size 26. If you're a smaller person and/or using a simpler pattern, you can maybe get away with a jelly roll plus lining.

♡ My patch pockets are orphan blocks from the exterior and from a 2016 baby quilt. If you have orphan blocks lying around, this might be a fun way to use them!

♡ New quilting cotton has no drape to speak of. I expect this coat to soften and drape much better after a few washes.

♡ ETA: THIS HAS NO BATTING OR ACTUAL QUILTING. Tbh that would take much longer and be more difficult, and you'd have to bind all of your seams instead of just the hems. I live in Florida and this is about as much jacket as I ever need, but if I wanted to make something warmer I'd probably do a flannel interlining or something instead of true quilting. I'm still debating some hand stitched quilting around the cuffs and collars though, to keep everything stable.

Some additional notes, in case anyone else wants to do something similar with the Seamwork Quince:

♡ I used the Seamwork Quince body and the Seamwork Baz collar. It came out pretty well, but I had some trouble with my shoulder seam coming up short at first. I had to piece on extra fabric at the shoulder and sleeve, which was fine with a scrappy mixed pattern project like this.

♡ OK, you see the blue and yellow half-square triangle midway down the sleeve? I expected that to fall at my upper arm. It's at my elbow. And that *is* the top of the sleeve pattern piece. Now I do have narrow shoulders, but the shoulder on this is *very* dropped.

♡ Another sleeve issue: the cuff piece is meant to be folded over, ie halved in length down the arm. I decided to combine the sleeve piece and the cuff and didn't account for that, so my sleeves are hilariously long and have to be cuffed back, like, 6 inches.

Overall, if I decide to make another one... I'll use the Helen's Closet Pona Jacket pattern, which has everything I want in a quilt coat pattern without any hacking. But this was the pattern I had already in my profession and printed, and it worked out well.

Working on a quilt top for my daughter this morning. I'm in love with these batik strips, and this jelly roll pattern is fast and lovely. Who doesn't love a quilt top that can be sewn in a day?

Hexi stripe quilt top is finished and the whole thing is pin basted. Overall size is a large throw, about 2x2.5 yards? It looks about the size of my 16-patch, which is slightly smaller than a standard twin quilt. It’s a good size quilt that I think will be really nice for family cuddles on the sectional couch.

I thought about doing a batik backing to match the front a little but there weren’t any in stock around here in wide-width and I didn’t want to do a pieced backing this time. Then I debated between the red/orange and the blue/green version of this butterfly and flower backing fabric but I decided I wanted the blue to tame some of the brightness of the top.

The points on the ends will be cut/straightened out after I quilt the whole thing. Batting is 80/20 ‘cause it felt like the right loft and washability (important ‘cause my brother’s family includes 2 under 5) for a family quilt.

I haven’t decided how I’m going to quilt it yet so this may be the last you see of it for a while, haha.

Oh, and I just remembered I left off on a mini quilt cliffhanger the other day. I needed 1 more hexi block but was out of the colorful jelly roll strips I needed. BUT I had 2 white strips and a bunch of scraps so I made this:

Graduation gifts! (Some to myself, most from other people!!!)

I bought the Tula Pink Pinkerville jelly roll (40 2.5” wide strips from every fabric in the line and the 3 yards of the white. I’ll make a jelly roll quilt this summer and the white will be for my Harry Potter Project of Doom quilt ). Other people got me the half yards and fat quarters of other fabrics in the line!!!

Batiks and other prints for stash-building and potential book covers for my PoD.

A cute folksy print and coordinating fabric to be a yet to be determined project. It apparently screamed “Rachel”. Which. Yes. It does!!!

And the Transfiguration Today fabric was also a gift, because I really never shut up about quilting and Harry Potter.

It's like a stoned clown from the 60's puked all over fabric. So garish it's awesome.

Not quite sure how I'm going to arrange the blocks, but at least they're trimmed.

ETA: this composition would have been better as color families together if one wanted something easy on the eyes. The randomly scrappy look really doesn't work for this set of batiks. I left several of them out when I made my lone star out of a jelly roll set of this same line because they were too jarring with the rest. The above is a layer cake sliced and sewn.

My First Island Batik Box Opening 2022

Many of you have been following me for awhile now, so you know all about Island Batik Ambassadors and the boxes of goodies we receive twice a year.

And if you’re not following me, why not give it a try? You’ll find the ways to follow in my sidebar, just under my photo.

Now back to those boxes! Twice a year—in January and July—Island Batik Ambassadors receive several boxes of batiks and other materials we then use to meet our monthly quilting challenges. To celebrate this giddy event, each Ambassador makes a box opening video.

So celebrate with us as we each share an exclusive preview of upcoming Island Batik collections and the latest tools from our program partners.

Since each Ambassador’s boxes are unique, you won’t want to miss a thing! Be sure to catch the full schedule of box openings at the end of this post.

This time I received two large boxes filled to the brim with gorgeous Island Batiks, most of which are just now arriving in stores. Be sure to look for them at your local quilt shop!

The boxes were also filled with awesomeness from our program partners—the perfect tools and accessories to help us complete our monthly challenges.

As usual, to shoot my video I enlisted the help of my daughter. Together, we gathered quilts and pinned them to my design wall, set up the studio lights and the boom mic, and readied the camera. Then I arranged the items in the boxes and prepared what I’m going to say as I presented them one by one during the video.

This time though, I had to edit the video myself with a little help from my daughter. I hope you like it!

My Box Opening Video

Now wasn’t that exciting seeing all those lovely batiks? The generosity and support I’ve received over the years from Island Batik and the program sponsors is overwhelming. I’m always so very grateful to see what I’m going to be working with for the next few months and to share that experience with you!

Let’s take a closer look at what I got

Hobbs Batting

Hobbs is a program partner, and they always send a selection of high quality battings for us to use in our challenge quilts. I truly love using Hobbs and so receiving a box of their batts is like a dream come true1

Hobbs included one Queen-size Heirloom Premium 80/20 Cotton Poly Blend batting, one Queen-sized Heirloom Premium 80/20 Bleached Cotton Poly Blend batting (I made a mistake on the video and thought this was all cotton), one set of 2-1/2” Heirloom Premium 80/20 Fusible cotton/Poly Batting Strips, one Queen-size Heirloom Premium 100% Wool batting, and one Queen-size Poly-Down Premium Polyester batting.

Each batting has it’s own particular use. The 80/20 batts (the Heirloom Premium 80/20 Cotton Poly Blend batting and the Heirloom Premium 80/20 Bleached Cotton Poly Blend batting) are my go to since they blend cotton with polyester for a soft, drapable, easily quiltable quilt. Love, love, love this batting—bleached (for quilts with light fabrics) or non-bleached (for quilts with deeper colors).

The fusible batting strips are perfect for making jelly roll rugs, placemats, purses, and bowls. Since they are the same size as a jelly roll and fusible, you can simply iron to your strips and start making!

The wool batt is my go-to when I want a light weight breathable quilt that’s perfect no matter what the temperature. And oh the softness and lovely drape! By superwashing the wool, the shrinkage is reduced and the fibers are smoothed, resulting in sheer perfection.

Poly-Down is new to me, but similar to other polyester battings in that it’s perfect for hand quilting. I don’t hand quilt, but I do like the extra loft polyester has because it shows off my machine quilting. It says this feels like down and wouldn’t that be lovely in a handmade quilt? I can’t wait to try it out!

Thanks Hobbs for the awesome batts! I can’t wait to use them in my quilts.

Gradations Collection

New this year are the Gradations collections. Island Batik has reimagined their Basics, creating lovely sets of batiks that range from dark to light. I think on the video I said the Gradations collection contains Basics and Blenders, but it’s just the Basics—batiks that are a single color—and now with the introduction of the Gradations collections, there are more Basics than ever before! I received a set of fat quarters from the Playful Purples collection and I’m currently working on a quilt that will show off their beauty.

The Gradations collections also include Ravishing Reds, Precious Pinks, Tantalizing Teals, Bodacious Blacks, Opulent Oranges, Brilliant Blues, Glorious Greens, Breathtaking Browns, Naturally Neutrals, and Marvelous Multis. I have to say that I’m in love with this concept! To put all those lovely purples (or teals, reds, pinks, etc.) in one grouping not only makes sense but opens the door to such creativity! Look for yardage in your local quilt store and make up a set of your favorite Gradations!

Fall 2021 Collection Precut

Island Batik always includes a precut from a collection just arriving in stores now, plus two coordinating fabrics. I love these precuts because I get to use them whenever I want, in whatever project I want and because they are precut, they help me to create a quilt fast!

This time I got a precut from the Chantilly collection designed by Kathy Engle for The Quilt Rambler. What can I say? It’s a gorgeous blend of purples, blues and greens and I simply love it! Such rich, deep colors. Yum!

Featured Fall 2021Collection

My featured Fall collection is Vintage Lace by Kathy Engle. I’ll be designing a quilt for the February blog hop using this gorgeous collection.

Normally, I’m attracted to deeply saturated colors, but there’s something so lovely about this soft blend of yellows, greens, and purples with a hint of blue-grey that is simply irresistible. And there’s some deep dark colors in there for me too!

I was sent a half-yard of each of the fabrics in the collection and two coordinates. I’ve got a design humming in my brain and I can’t wait to get started on it right after I finish this month’s challenge quilt. Look for the finished quilt in February during the blog hop!

Foundations - Basics, Blenders, neutrals and Solids

Island Batik typically sends a grouping of half-yard coordinates for each of the collections included in our boxes. These coordinates are pulled from the Basics, Blenders, Neutrals, and Solids collections. Batiks in these collections are the perfect staple in your stash because they go with so many of the designer batik collections.

Island Batik sent the following Basics: Dove, Mahogany, and Seaweed. They also sent Custard from the Neutrals collection. I think these batiks compliment the Vintage Lace collection really well.

Island Batik also sent a set of Blenders: Cappuccino, Ivy, Sand, and Plum. Again, I think they compliment Vintage Lace well, and the purples are perfect for the Chantilly collection too!

Island Batik solids are to die for! I love how rich and fully saturated they are. If you love solids, you need to try these—they are lovely to work with and best of all, no see-through!

First, Island Batik sent a half-yard of these Solids: Dark Grey, Pink, Lime Green, and Fuchsia.

Island Batik also included 4-yards of several neutrals from the Solids collection: Black, White, and Grey. I love using these in my quilts, much more than regular quilting solids.

Island Batik always sends along a lovely Neutral batik that I can use as a background in my quilt designs. This time they sent Moo Milk—a lovely light and creamy beige.

Stash Builders

Island Batik included two Stash Builders in my box. Stash Builders make it easy to build your stash of batiks and they are perfect for creating scrappy quilts—my fav! Each Stash Builder contains a mix of batiks in a particular color, such as green and blue.

A Stash Builder roll includes four 5” x WOF strips; there are 5 rolls in each pack giving you almost 3 yards of batiks!

Want a chance to win a few Stash Builder rolls? Be sure to enter my giveaway at the end of this post.

Aurifil Threads

Aurifil is a program partner and they sent a box of coordinating threads for me to use however I want. They will also be sending a box of thread for a thread challenge in March. The box they sent this time is from their 2021 Color Builders program, which was inspired by endangered animals. If you love thread like I do, I highly recommend subscribing to Color Builders. This year, the inspiration is flowers!

The box they will be sending soon is from the 2020 Color Builders program, which was inspired by cities in Italy, the home of Aurifil thread. Watch for an update here when I receive my new thread set!

I love the quality of Aurifil—how little lint it produces, how strong a stitch it makes and how precise it makes your piecing.

Thanks Aurifil for your lovely thread!

THE SURPRISE BUNDLE

Now we come to the Surprise Bundle, which I can’t tell you anything about except that it’s from a Winter 2021 collection. I’ll be using my collection to design a quilt for the May blog hop.

Like my Fall 2021 collection, Island Batik sent me a half-yard of each of the fabrics in my Winter 2021 collection plus two coordinates. I think you’ll agree that gives me plenty to choose from when making a quilt for the hop.

My collection by the way, is perfect for me and I can’t wait to share it with you in May! The Winter 2021 collections will be arriving in stores late April/early May, just in time for the blog hop!
