The Blue Delft Quilt

Blue Delft Quilt

This design was inspired by the colors of classic delftware pottery. To add interest to your version, use a wide variety of blue fabrics, from light to dark, for the assorted squares in the sashing and 2nd border. Use an accurate G˝ seam allowance throughout construction, so the pieced border fits well.

The Blue Delft Quilt Adapted from a Design by Cheryl Almgren Taylor for Quilting Company.

Red Hot Flash Quilt

Red Hot Flash Quilt by Sarah Lynn

But when you've got a 2 ½" precut strip roll in your fabric stash waiting for a great project, the Red Hot Flash Quilt, created by the fabulous Debby Kratovil (of Blank Quilting), will get your creative juices flowing. This colorful pattern takes the ordinary piece of strip piecing and presents a stunning visual effect of movement and geometric form.

• Finished Quilt Size: “59”” × 70”” (Generous throw / lap quilt)

• Fabric Requirements: "(1) 40 piece 2.5" strip roll + background and border yardage"

• Skill Technique: Template-free Piecing

• The design has a spinning spiderweb motif in the visual style for the blocks and a pieced outer border.

The best part of this project is its ingenious construction technique! The detailed spider web blocks seem complicated, but Debby Kratovil created this pattern with a template-free method. There's no need to use foundation paper piecing or specialty acrylic rulers, just straight seams and rotary cutting. The quilt is a high contrast background print combined with strips in bright red for a dramatic starburst effect with pieced checkerboard border as the frame.

Final Thought

From a traditional two-tone crimson border to a scrappy multi-color pattern, the Red Hot Flash Quilt achieves maximum impact on the surface with relatively simple strip quilting. Select your favorite 2.5 inch strips strip set, clear your sewing table and have fun creating this lively strip pattern!
