| The Art Haus Quilt |
Now you're ready for your next favorite sewing experience! Are you seeking a project that doesn't deal with the stress of points and lets you play pure and unfiltered with your creativity in the sewing room? I got an awesome idea for you today! First, let's talk about The Art Haus, a wall quilt created by an awesome designer: Jamie Fingal.
This quilt is a vibrant celebration of color and imagination with the bold and playful colors of the Hopscotch collection by RJR Fabrics. The most important thing to me about this design is the idea that it's all about having fun, rather than being about perfection, and it's Jamie's core mantra for the project. That's the kind of energy right there that we all need at our cutting Tables!
Finished at 23-1/2" x 29", this project is just the right size to create a lovely wall hanging. The Art Haus employs a free-style raw-edge applique technique in lieu of piecing. Use Mistyfuse to construct houses, roofs, flowers, and so much more, all directly on a pieced sky background to create delightful and overlapping houses, quirky roofs and whimsical flowers. When you're using raw-edge appliqué, there are no gaps to worry about, and no strict seams to match up when creating your neighborhood.
The pattern is done in beautiful colors such as Electric Blue, Lapis and Marmalade that are ideal for your precut Patty Cakes. It's also an extremely unique structural base – wool-blended felt back – providing a sturdy, tactile foundation even before you start your free-motion quilting.
Final Thought
The Art Haus is an outstanding, no stress project to make and a great reminder of what we loved about fabric to begin with: the sheer enjoyment of making. Let's try out your machine quilting skills and let the imagination run wild. This pattern invites you to play whether exactly as Jamie designed it or adapting the whimsical doors and windows to your own design.
