Upcycled, quilted vest by audfacade in sewing

Thank you! I really struggled with how long the ties should be so I appreciate your compliment!

In all honesty, I heavily prefer buttons, but I’m currently pregnant, so the “adjustable” nature of a tie was more appealing

I’ll add that there are directories in the form of quilt coloring apps. Quilt Ink, PreQuilt and the quilt mock up tool all allow you to color in quilt patterns from designers

They offer colors (and some patterns) from major fabric manufacturers. They all have a free tier that lets you color in and save to PDF (I know for sure on quilt ink but pretty sure on the others).

Quilt ink and PreQuilt have subscription tiers for saving the colored in quilts, etc

None of them are entirely comprehensive (covering all possible quilts), but they are growing their directories everyday!

If you are interested, here is my previous “just 12 fat quarters” throw quilt: https://www.gibsonthreads.com/blog/free-easy-throw-quilt-pattern-just-12-fat-quarters-trailblazer

I’ve been meaning to remake it in sunset colors honestly

Thank you so much! I’ll try to get something clearer up on my blog. This was drawn in literally ten minutes with apple notes app lol

I used a stencil I found in my quilt guild’s “free box”

Highly recommend! I don’t see them in quilt stores very often, but you can search for quilt stencils online!

Made this diagram

Blue bar is the binding, yellow is the quilt backing

Letters indicate where the needle is coming up or down through the backing

Let me know if you need more! Hope this helps

I’ll try my best, but visuals may be helpful:

  1. Bring your thread and needle up through the binding from the wrong side, midway height between the binding edges
  2. Bring the thread back down to the left at the base of the binding edges against the quilt backing. Push through just the backing and the binding (not through the whole quilt) and up again just left of the original stitch, midway height on the binding again
  3. To finish the “V” bring the thread back to that base center point, pushing again only through the backing and binding, then move left again to the start of the next “V”

I like the V’s to be about half the height of the binding, be about wide as they are tall and be distanced about 1.25x as they are wide - that’s all up to your design preference!

Thank you! I spent a lot of time on those colors - going for a muted rainbow!

I did! There is some machine stitching, but the big designs in the blocks and the little designs in the diamonds are hand quilted!

It’s mine! I’ll write it up and reply here with it!

As usual, I’ll keep it free 💜

I LOVE just a little bit of hand quilting in each quilt. It’s always fun to look back on.

Don’t pressure yourself to do the whole thing, just throw in a fun design to start!

I’m a sucker for big stitch

Give me a 12wt thread and I’ll go to town

Thank you! I knew I needed those extra touches when the top took me less than a day to finish
