Formation Throw Quilt in Timber! from Busy Hands Quilts

Today I'm sharing a Formation quilt - the Timber version.  I started this quilt several months ago and finally finished it up this week.  

Formation is a fat quarter friendly quilt pattern with good-sized Flying Geese blocks so the quilt top goes together fairly fast.  This is a quick and easy quilt pattern that suits pretty much any color scheme, from manly to patriotic to modern to kid themes.

I made a similar version of this Formation quilt here.  That one is made with Moda Grunge Seeing Spots fabric in grays, browns, and a splash of green.

I saw the beautiful landscape I often missed when traveling by plane. This trip reminded me of the quilts I designed for the Wilderness Trail collection by Blank Quilting. This collection features a 24-inch panel with animals found in the wild, canoes, camping, and fishing gear in colors that are perfect for ...

Today I'm sharing a Waterfall quilt that I made last year.  Waterfall was released last year, and this was the quilt I sewed up to test the pattern.

Fabric Selection


This black and red version of Waterfall is made with fabrics from my stash.  I looked through my fabrics for two colorways that had ...
