As an avid quilter, I love being able to find a project that is perfectly designed to be modern and yet still interesting to look at. That's what the Skyline Sensation Quilt by The Quilted Button at Hoffman California Fabrics offers. The throw sized dimensions of 58" x 70" make it a generous focal print that can be rotated and framed to create a statement.
Pattern Overview & Key Features
The main design block is 12-1/2" square, for which there are two main variants: Block A and Block B. The design is built around two main design blocks, Block A and Block B, both of which are 12-1/2" square.
- Strip-Pieced Framing: Central focus print framed with exact 1" framing strips (Fabric D) and pieced border units (Sets A, B and C).
- Dimensional Unit Layouts: The pieced frames utilize Part 1 (9-1/2" x 3-1/2") and Part 2 (12-1/2" x 3-1/2") strip ensembles. The pattern alternates the ways the units are placed around the central square to produce a dynamic, woven border effect.
- Smart Block Rotation: You will be building 20 basic blocks, with the direction of the focal fabric changing to create movement around the quilt face without any complicated assembly steps.
Sewing Tips for Success
Sub-cutting and seam allowances of 1/4" are important for clean intersections throughout this project. Sewing your pieces so that each unit is labeled (Set A, Set B, Set C, Part 1, and Part 2) will save time and reduce confusion at the time of putting the pieces together to make the block configurations.
Final Thought
The Skyline Sensation Quilt is quite a work of art for quilters looking for a more structured project that will provide the greatest visual return. From a dramatic cityscape print to a bold floral, Larene Smith's clever framing technique gives a polished, contemporary look that is sure to become a cherished lap quilt.
