Are you looking for a beautiful, precut project idea that combines gorgeous fabrics with a striking and geometric pattern? Then you've come to the right place! I am so excited to share with you today the brilliant and highly sought-after pattern I designed with Osie Lebowitz for Timeless Treasures Fabrics: Tonga Focus Frequency Quilt.
If you're looking to break your stash, or just get your hands on a brand new jelly roll you've been saving up to celebrate an important occasion, this pattern is for you! Let's explore why this particular quilt pattern is a great to-do item for your sewing list.
Why You Will Love the Frequency Quilt
We are all quilters and have that one irresistible stack of 2.5" strips of fabric in our sewing room. The Frequency Quilt is the perfect opportunity to use all those gorgeous precuts! This pattern is created to highlight the vibrant and saturated colors of the Tonga Focus batiks from Timeless Treasures, which are done in rich, hand dyed colors. The effect is a stunning illusion of a “frequency” or zig-zag across the entire quilt top.
The cool thing about this design? It appears a lot more complex than it is. Featuring mostly simple strip piecing, this pattern is a great, satisfying weekend project for confident beginners or a fun, quick sew for experienced quilters.
Important Pattern Details
To get you warmed up for the cutting mat and iron before you start, here's all the info you need about putting the Tonga Focus Frequency Quilt together.
- Finished Size: This quilt will be finished to be about 50" x 70". This is a very flexible size to make a throw for your couch, a large lap quilt, or a large decorative quilt for your living room.
- Fabric Requirements: This is a beautiful precut friendly pattern! A regular pack of Jelly Roll (2.5" strips) printed with Tonga Focus batiks will be required. In addition, you'll need coordinating yardage to contrast and bring out those rich colors.
- Techniques Used: All the design is accomplished using machine piecing in straight lines and the efficient use of strip sets. No tricky curves, no complex applique and no irritating Y-seams to stress about!
- Skill Level: Beginner-friendly. You can successfully complete this beautiful project if you are able to sew a consistent and accurate ¼ inch seam allowance and safely operate a rotary cutter.
Final Thought
When it comes to quilting, there's no such thing as too hard or too easy to put together as it's always a huge hit when you find something that's simple to assemble but still contemporary and stylish. With the Tonga Focus Frequency Quilt, Osie Lebowitz has produced just that. It's the ideal canvas to let your favorite Timeless Treasures batiks shine. So, dust off the sewing machine, grab that jelly roll you've been saving and set to create a masterpiece that you will be proud to show.
