Free Quilt Pattern: Sky Line Quilt

Hi, Everyone!  I have been working on a bunch of new quilt patterns and can't wait to share them all with you!  First up is my Sky Line Quilt.  I love all kinds of quilts...both intricate and basic.  The Sky Line Quilt is super basic and it makes such a statement.  It was super fast to make and it turned out so super awesome.  

In my version, I used Moda Fabrics Picnic Basket Wovens for the blue (the stripes and the binding-- SKU 12134-26) and then Bella Solids 9900-98 for the white.  For the backing I used the large gingham of Moda Fabrics Picnic Basket Wovens (SKU 12134-21).  I really love the way a woven pairs with a regular quilting cotton.  And a woven backing is super dreamy to snuggle with 😍

This quilt finishes at 64" x 81"

MATERIALS

2 yards blue fabric
2 yards white fabric 
5 yards backing
3/4 yard binding

INSTRUCTIONS

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS

Read through the instructions before beginning

All seams are sewn with ¼” seam allowance unless noted

RST means right sides together

WOF means Width of Fabric

CUTTING

From the white fabric, 
     -cut 8- 1.5" x WOF strips
     -cut 6- 9.5" x WOF strips

From the blue fabric, 
     -cut 15- 4.5" x WOF strips

PIECING THE STRIPS

Take 3 of the 1.5" white strips and cut them in half so that you have 6- 1.5" x 21" strips.  Piece one of these onto the end of a 1.5" x WOF strip so that you have a 1.5" x 64" (roughly). Repeat 4 more times (you'll have one 1.5" x 21" strip that you won't use).

Take 2 of the 9.5" white strips and cut them in half so that you have 4- 9.5" x 21" strips.  Piece one of these onto the end of a 9.5" x WOF strip so that you have a 9.5" x 64" (roughly). Repeat three more times.

Take 5 of the 4.5" blue strips and cut them in half so that you have 10- 4.5" x 21" strips.  Piece one of these onto the end of a 4.5" x WOF strip so that you have a 4.5" x 64" (roughly).  Repeat nine more times.

QUILT TOP ASSEMBLY

When I pieced this quilt, I sewed the 4.5" blue, 1.5" white, and 4.5" blue together first.  Then I alternated those blue/white strips with the white 9.5" strips.  You can do it like that as well or you can just add each strip to the quilt top in the order shown below.

FINISHING THE QUILT

Baste, quilt, and bind the quilt using your preferred methods.

I love the texture of this quilt and the feel of it!  Look at it!!  I had a quilted with Diagonal Plaid and I used bamboo batting.  Have you tried bamboo batting?? It's amazing (expensive, but amazing).  I don't use it in everything but every now and then I splurge!! 😉
