Family Ties Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

 Hello!  Today I want to share a quilt that I actually finished a couple of months ago.  I got some pictures of it in September but I'm finally blogging about it!  It's a free pattern that I designed for the Riley Blake Designs website called Family Ties.


You may recognize it because I shared the original version (using my Feels Like Home fabrics) HERE.
I loved making the original version so much that I decided to make another, bigger one from my stash!  


I am not much of a purple person but when I spontaneously put some purples ...

The prints in Feels Like Home were inspired by peaceful walks through ...

Family Ties has been kitted by Connecting Threads in the beautiful Kindred Blossoms fabric collection!  This is the Throw size.


I mentioned in a previous post that I am on a kick using darker fabrics as the background, and this quilt is no exception.  This is a deep indigo.

Family Ties Quilt Pattern in 6 Sizes from Lap to King! from Busy Hands Quilts


Family Ties is a jelly roll friendly quilt pattern that is strip pieced for a quick finish!  No sewing individual squares together, although you could if you wanted to.

To me, the strips of squares represent the ties of family ...
