Featured Products Concrete Jungle | PDF $12.00 Harvest Star | PDF Pattern $12.00 Misty Mountains | PDF Pattern $12.00 Latest from the blog Concrete Jungle | A Quilt PatternRelease day is finally here! I’m so excited about this Concrete Jungle quilt pattern, it has been in the works since June and I have truly poured my heart into it. Buy Concrete Jungle in my shop. Concrete Jungle comes in 5 sizes: Baby (30″ x 40″)Lap (45″ x 60″)Throw (54″ x 69″)Twin (70″ x 93″)Bed (93″ x 93″) Concrete Jungle is the first in the Mockprov quilt pattern series, a collection of quilt patterns that look like improvisational quilts, but with all the math done for you! Because of this, each size in the pattern looks slightly different, while still keeping the integrity of the design. Although it takes a little bit to cut out all the pieces, once that part is behind you, the quilt comes together quickly! You could easily make the top in a weekend! I’ve made 4 Concrete Jungle quilts so far and I have plans for more! While I’ve mainly made the throw size, I had testers who tested every size for me for accuracy! My Versions: Cover Quilt | PBS Solids My cover Concrete Jungle quilt is the throw size in Paintbrush Studio solids. I planned the colors around the backing, which is from Paintbrush Studio’s Urban Jungle line. For the quilting, I decided on walking foot orange peel curves with Aurifil 50 wt thread in 2835 (minty green color). I love the extra texture and dimension the curves bring to this otherwise angular quilt. Cotton + Steel Snow Flowers The moment I saw this Cotton + Steel collection I knew it had to become a Concrete Jungle quilt. The neon-bright result didn’t disappoint! You can read more about this version (plus so many more photots!) Nautical I pulled from my stash to create a scrappy nautical Concrete Jungle version. You can read all about it. Fabricstork Custom Bundle I collaborated with Fabricstork to create a Concrete Jungle quilt kit. This version includes fabrics from Figo Fabrics and Ruby Star Society. Doesn’t it have the best moody fall vibes? Buy the kit here! Fossil Rim Baby Size I handed this bundle of fabrics over to my friend Sherry who did such an amazing job piecing and quilting it!

When I saw Cotton + Steel’s Snow Flowers fabric collection, I just knew it needed to become a Concrete Jungle quilt. The bright abstract fabrics reminded me of graffiti, and what more perfect a pattern than one called Concrete Jungle? This throw size came together in no time flat, and I was left trying to decide how to quilt it. I felt that machine quilting would end up looking too busy for a quilt that already has so much going on fabric-wise, so I settled on hand-quilting. Sometimes, batting ‘beards’, or shows up through the fabrics on the quilt. I didn’t want white batting to peek through the vibrant colors, so I chose to use black batting instead! I love how vibrant and fun this quilt is and how the hand-quilting ‘melts’ into the quilt. The back is also from the Snow Flowers fabric collection, and I used my invisible seam backing tutorial to make sure that the bird pattern kept repeating properly. Can you spot the seam below?? I’m binding it using the big-stitch hand-binding variation tutorial and Aurifil 12 weight thread. I haven’t gotten very far, unfortunately. And since we needed to get photos done, I ended up using an Elmer’s glue stick to tack down the binding. I’m sad to say that this quilt is STILL in this state. Hopefully I can get it bound before the end of the year! Concrete Jungle is available in my shop and comes with instructions for in 5 sizes! What fabrics are you planning to use for it?...

I was curious to see how to make this quilt scrappy without being overwhelming. (This is the throw size). I first dug through my stash to find the perfect fabric pull. A lot of these fabrics are from Cotton + Steel S.S. Bluebird line, which is several years old. I knew I needed an accent color, but I didn’t want to go with the traditional red, that felt too Americana for me and not the vibe I wanted. When I spotted that tiny bit of orange anchor fabric in my stash, I knew it would be the right move. Concrete Jungle uses 7 colors. I used a single fabric for some of the colors to keep some consistency to the quilt and keep it from getting too busy. The best thing with Concrete Jungle is that once everything is cut, the quilt comes together crazy fast! Almost as if it was meant to be, I found an orange and blue stripe fabric in my stash to use as the binding. I bound it using the big-stitch hand-binding method. The backing is an Ikea duvet cover and it is crazy soft. You can find out more about using duvets and sheets as backings. For the quilting, I used a design from my WALK book by Jacquie Gering. I love this book for all the different walking-foot quilting designs! (See my full review here). I thought I was being super clever, quilting it on the back using the gingham backing as my guide… until I got through one whole direction and realized that my backing wasn’t squares – they’re rectangles! So I decided not to add any more quilting, I really like it the way it is anyway, so, happy accident! Concrete Jungle is my latest pattern, available in my shop! It comes in 5 sizes: baby, lap, throw, twin, and bed!... Read more...
