Welcome to the Sewing Room! If you've been thinking about a stunning new project that will convey the freshness of the ocean right to your cutting table, there's something special for you to explore today. Let's talk about the amazing pattern, Lost at Sea Quilt, created by a very well known quilt designer Alex Anderson Quilts.
A lovely design to stitch up, particularly with the Splash collections from RJR Fabrics, which are vibrant and dynamic. This pattern is a terrific blend of quilting methods and the use of amazing colors, whether you want to add more quilts to your collection or are considering a bright and fresh look for your living room.
The Magic of the Splash Collection
RJR Fabrics is known for their high-quality quilting cottons that are a joy to sew with and this is an ideal design for them. The collection is characterized by clean and energetic prints, as well as colors inspired by the water and ideally suited for Alex Anderson's geometry. The texture and color shifts of these fabrics lend a lovely rhythm to the complete quilt – like ripples on the water.
Pattern Highlights & What to Expect
The PDF instructions by Alex Anderson are usually very clear, organized and structured. With the Lost at Sea Pattern, there is several important tips and tricks to learn to make your pattern look flawless:
- Precision Cutting is Essential: The pattern is of course entirely dependent on precision cutting of the base block parts. Stitching the time required to starch your fabrics and square up the pieces will make the final assembly piece smooth and keep your point crisp.
- Repeated Block Assembly: Design is done in a rhythmic block construction method. The primary block unit is mastered, and the remainder of the quilt top will be beautifully chained-piece, it's an efficient project to sew on a weekend.
- One of the most important of the document instructions is the strategic placement of fabric values: Value and Contrast. There's a great range of prints from light to dark in the Splash collection, but it's important to follow the instructions in the layout guide provided with the pattern to make sure the secondary geometric patterns stand out in the quilt.
- Complete Material Requirements: The PDF has a complete yardage breakdown of all the material required for the quilt top, backing and binding, so that shopping for your RJR cuts is 100% foolproof.
Final Thought
This is a quilt pattern beyond the basic and is an invitation to get some fun in with movement, contrast and quality fabrics. Alex Anderson has crafted a fantastic canvas and RJR's Splash collection offers the best paint-brush so far to make it pop. This PDF pattern is a great one to use for a well written and engaging design to sew onto your table this season. Spend some time on those intersections with blocks, take your time on seaming and enjoy the pretty process of giving this ocean-themed design life. Happy quilting!
