I am so excited to announce the release of my newest pattern, Beanie Cap! The Beanie Cap digital quilt pattern is currently available for sale in my pattern shop for $6 through Sunday, July 12th, which is a savings of 33% off of its regular price.
Inspired to make the most of the 1/2 yard bundles I purchased from Alyssa @Pile O’Fabric at QuiltCon, I developed the Beanie Cap pattern. The piecing is a lot less complicated than it looks, and there are 3 great color way options presented in the pattern:
To celebrate the pattern release, I have teamed up with Alyssa @Pile O’Fabric to create fabric bundles / quilt kits that are perfect for the Beanie Cap pattern.
- Colorway #1 is a Different Quadrants Blue / Green Bundle
- Colorway #2 is a Different Quadrants Green / Purple Kona Solids Bundle
- Colorway #3 is a Different Quadrants Rainbow Bundle
The bundles are available from Pile O’Fabric while supplies last!
The Beanie Cap quilt top finishes out at 66-inches square prior to quilting and washing. I especially like the movement the swirls in each diamond quadrant give the quilt, and I had a lot of fun quilting my test version!
To emphasize the motion of the pattern, I chose to use matchstick quilting and change the direction of the quilting. In the background, I alternated directions as well using long, flowing back and forth lines. For the center pinwheels I quilted a dense meandering loop to give great texture, and in the accent pieces I used an arcing ribbon candy to create fun secondary designs where the patterns meet in the center quadrant. I used 50wt Aurifil #2610 for the piecing and quilting, and I love how the grey blends in to just leave a great texture on the quilt.
The quilt pattern comes with a coloring page to help you select your fabric or even doodle you own ideas for quilting patterns!
To celebrate the pattern release, Alyssa @Pile O’Fabric is generously offering (1) Colorway #2 bundle as a giveaway, and I will supply the winner with a digital PDF of the quilt pattern!

97. The texture in there is amazing, I saw the first photo and really thought it was some kind of 3D fabric. Favourite colour combination is a tricky one, I love working with lots of colours, and part of the challenge for me often with quilts is to make a wide variety of colours/designs work together. It’s quite rare for me to work without bright colours, and also very rare to narrow it down to say a 2 colour tone scheme, certainly in a big quilt I think I’d struggle with that, but perhaps that’s partly because I don’t tend to go for new fabrics. So I really don’t know what my answer is – something with blue, or yellow, or red, or green or purple…!
98. Different center coloring appeals to me
99. Just found your blog through Sewing Loft link—now following on Bloglovin’. Thanks for a chance in the giveawy.
