Signal Trace {Pattern Release}

I did not anticipate writing and releasing a pattern for my Q3 “just for fun” quilt, but I received enough requests for a pattern that I decided to work backwards from my normal workflow process to release a quilt pattern. Normally I like to write the pattern and use the pattern as I make the quilt. That, in addition to sending the pattern to a technical editor, gives me the confidence that I am releasing as error free a pattern as I can manage. Thankfully, I had a lot of photographs of my process and I have a fantastic technical editor. 🙂

Signal Trace – Quilting Detail

Long story short: today I am happy to announce the release of the Signal Trace digital quilt pattern!

Fabrics & Materials

Signal Trace – Fabric Pull

Signal Trace is a confident beginner pattern that is perfect for using up fabric in your stash and/or scraps. I used a variety of blue prints for the background and lime prints for the accent when I made the cover quilt.

Quilting

Signal Trace

I quilted the cover quilt on my domestic Juki TL-2200 QVP Mini with a lime green 50wt Aurifil thread in 1231 (Spring Green). I marked diagonal lines through the corners of each block and used my walking foot to quilt a 6″ square diagonal crosshatch. The pattern includes a Coloring Page that you can use to plan your own scrappy color layout or quilting plan.
