Twisted ~ A New Pattern

Wednesday, October 3, 2012

I'm so excited to share my newest pattern with you today!
I can't decide if it's because it features the [available in stores any second] new fabric line called Marmalade by Bonnie and Camille - which I am seriously in love with.  OR, because I am in love with the cute little X's in this quick and easy design.


It's called Twisted. 
It's Layer Cake friendly and I've included instructions
for both throw and baby sizes.




See what I'm talking about?!? This line is scrumptious!


Twisted Baby shows the two color placement option 
(making it extra twisty :)


  


These patterns are now available in my Etsy Shop

I'd love to give away a copy (or two or three).  Please leave a comment below.  Let me know what you think.  Tell me something interesting.  I'll pick a winner this weekend.  Sound good?

* THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED *

  4. Oh, I love it!!! I can't decide what my favorite is, the color back with white, or the white back with color!

  5. Love that pattern...especially in the solid colorways. Do you think it would work well in the colors of fall M&M's? I do....

  10. What a great pattern with lots of possibilities. Love your Marmalade Twist but the two color twist is wonderful too! Thanks for sharing both options.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I really like how sometimes I see x's and sometimes I see diamonds! Awesome! This is such a versatile pattern, I can see it being used for a boy quilt, girl quilt, Christmas quilt, Valentines quilt, etc. . . Good job. . .I have enjoyed several of your patterns. This will be another hit!

  13. so, so beautiful, sis! those colors and fabrics are so pretty! i am going to consider them for Brooklynn's new bedding! I'll have to show you what else I found at the fabric store. I'm thinking it is very similar. xx

  14. I like the Marmalade version, but I LOVE the solids version most of all! Gorgeous!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Love your new pattern! It is lovely in the Marmalade fabrics..hope I'm a lucky one...

    ReplyDelete
  16. Very cute - and so is that Marmalade line. Interesting, hmm... we're trying to sell our house, we are building a house in the country, and our Jack Russell terrier, Ripley, loves it out there!

  17. I love them both but the aqua and white looks so fresh and clean. Beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  18. These are beautiful, and I especially like the two-toned version. It is just so striking and the quilting is perfect!
    Ok, you want to hear something intereting. My daughter is getting married on the 13th and I should be cleaning the house for the guests that will be arriving, but instead I am surfing the net, reading blogs and now, thanks to you, planning what fabric I'm going to use to make this awesome quilt. So, are you ok with me blaming you if the house isn't spotless? Just asking! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  19. That's a cute pattern! <3
    I can't come up with an idea how you did the crosses...

    ReplyDelete
  20. It's such a pretty pattern. I love the two colour (that's how we spell it in Canada!) option. Something interesting, I'm going to be a Gramma after my daughter trying for years! We find out what the baby is next month, and then look out! I will be sewing up a storm!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I love this pattern! It looks deceptivly simple, and I can't help trying to reverse-engineer it. I will vie for the strangest story, by telling you that I teach grade 7 and 8 math, and I am far too entertained by this blog post from another teacher:

    http://mrvaudrey.wordpress.com/2012/05/03/the-only-lesson-theyll-remember/

    I have shown it to several colleagues, and while it crosses the humour boundaries to non-math people, I'm not sure yet if non-teachers (or non-13 year olds!) will find it as awesome as I do. Please check your stock of brain-bleach before you click the link, (my students won't get that warning) .... next week's math lesson will be all about mullets. (and the mullet ratio).

    Hope I made you smile!

  22. Looove this pattern and the fabric. Marmalade is so pretty. I never want to cut into Bonnie & Camille's fabrics. I'm hoarding my Ruby still.

  23. So beautiful...I just painted my guest room a pale aqua. Ca't seem to get enough of that color.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I have been following your blog from afar, but, must admit, I needed to tell you how great this pattern is! I would love to make it in high contrast colors for a very modern feel! Kudos!

  30. Great pattern! I love seeing the contrast between doing it with prints or solids!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'm immediately attracted to this design and when i saw the words "quick" and "easy", I'm now eager. Those are delicious words to read for a beginner quilter like me.

    It does look especially pretty in the Marmalade fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Lovely pattern! It is interesting in design without being fussy or complicated...very modern! Something interesting...it's going to be 29 degrees (about 85 in your language) in Melbourne today!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Amber, I love this pattern - Twisted! It has both a simple look as well as lots of interest. Marmalade is a gorgeous line but I really think the white with 2 shades of aqua really makes the pattern pop. Ohhh, it would be marvelous to win a copy of your pattern. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  39. love the baby quilt colors, they stand out so vividly. great pattern. thanks for the chance to win.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Ooooh great pattern!! I love how striking a simplistic it looks while still sending itself effectively to scrappy or just solids. So versatile and I think I could even see it working in king sized for my bed.... Love it.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Beauriful pattern. I love patterns that I really have to study to figure out 'how did she do that?' Still not sure I've fingered out how you make your blocks! Would love to win your pattern to find out if I'm right!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Oh, I have been looking and looking for the perfect
    baby quilt for my granddaughter, due in January.
    I love both, but the solids in the nursery colors (pink,
    chocolate and white) would be perfect!!

    ReplyDelete
  62. I just absolutely LOVE this pattern! My new grandbaby's room is going to be grey and green and with the white background I can really see his new baby quilt done with this pattern! Simple but very unique!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  63. The fabric line is gorgeous, but so is your pattern. It is the scrappy homey look that I like.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I really, really like this new pattern of yours. The teal colored one particularly appeals to me in it's sharp contrast. I can easily see it in my bedroom. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I love this pattern. Especially the baby quilt. how absolutely adorable. Im loveing this fall weather. Such a wonderful change from the summer.

    ReplyDelete
  68. These look great! The pattern has such a WOW factor...some see x some see diamond [it must be years of farm life]I am seeing fencing, vines, weavings....and yes, even wedding bands. What I like most about this pattern is that there are so MANY options!!!

    ReplyDelete
  70. That does look like a fun quilt to make & really doesn't look very difficult. I'm already thinking of all the different fabric I could make it in.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I love, love, love this pattern!! And, you say it's easy??? Love it in the Marmalade and it looks really awesome in the solids. I have lots of Layer Cakes in my stash to make one with! Thanks so much for the chance to win this pattern! Something interesting, hmmmm....we just got back from vacation - a cruise to Halifax and saw the Titanic graves - very moving and interesting!

    ReplyDelete
  72. Congrats on the new pattern! It looks great - so graphic and fresh.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I thought the first layer cake version was lovely, but the baby quilt with the two toned twist is even better. I can't think of much interesting going on here right now, but we are planning a vacation for next week--maybe hiking in the Smokey Mountains. I miss the fall colors.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Love the pattern and how it looks in two colors. Really nice job!

    ReplyDelete
  75. Oh I love this pattern. My best friend is waiting for her first grand daughter to arrive. This quilt would be perfect in pink. Thanks for the chance to win. I just got my first hearing dog from Canine Companions for Independence. What a top quality organization. My new dog loves to curl up by me in my sewing room. We are going to make a great team!

    ReplyDelete
  76. I love these especially in the blue's and whites...I would love to learn how to put the overlay stripes on over the quilt.

    ReplyDelete
  77. It's gorgeous! Love the baby done in solids ; )

    ReplyDelete
  78. I love how simple and clean this pattern is. I would love to make one for my grand daughter. She just got home from being in the intensive care for the first three weeks of her life. She could really use a little gramma love quilt and this looks like the perfect pattern.

    ReplyDelete
  79. The graphic simplicity is great. I can definitely see myself buying this one!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Sounds like a reason to use a layer cake! I have two but I've never used one before now. Congrats!
    I can't think of anything interesting but here's a shot. I am on a mug rug/potholder making frenzy trying to get ahead of the Christmas rush. I've done them all the traditional way - with binding. I decided to be a bit more modern and do the sew around the edge, flip, and then stitch method last night. Worked great -- except I put the batting in the middle (as I would normally do) -- so I had to unstitch and restitch. The good news is the final product looks great and I was reminded not to take myself too seriously (or ever work under a deadline)!

  81. Gorgeous pattern - Looks like it would whip up fast (which i need right now......). Thanks for the opportunity on the draw.

  86. Hi, I am sorry to have to send an e-mail but I don't know any of the other ones. I follow your blog but never able to join in the comments. I love these quilts but the blue and white is really dear to my heart. I am new at making quilts. I've made a baby quilt and a memory quilt for my sister in-law who had a stroke so people can sign it when they come to visit. I would really love to win this giveaway. Thanks you for sharing.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Love it! Already have the perfet fabrics picked out to make it as a gift!

  88. Very cute, fun and different. I'd love to have the pattern.

    ReplyDelete
  89. This pattern is great! And I love the Marmalade too!

    ReplyDelete
  90. Ooohh - this is delightful! What a great pattern. Good job Amber!

    ReplyDelete
  91. This is a great pattern! I love both versions. I've not really made anything with solids, though I keep collecting them and like their modern feel. I worry I would get bored without pattern in the fabric. I've only been quilting one year. I've made four quilts and quite a few other things since I began, but not nearly so much as so many others!! Interesting? Hm. I live on a boat and do all my sewing on the boat. We turned the guest berth (bedroom) into my sewing room. I love being there in my little space surrounded by my surprising amount of fabric! I'd love to win one of your patterns - thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  92. Super pattern!!! Looks so fun in Marmalade. My exciting news....my Marmalade fat quarter bundle was shipped today from Green Fairy Quilts! Perfect timing to win a new quilt pattern, hint hint.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I love patterns that use pre-cuts. It makes it so easy to eliminate a lot of the cutting. I really like the crisp white diamond shapes against the colorful background.

    ReplyDelete
  94. SO cute! I have been hoarding my precuts for awhile. I would be seriously tempted by this pattern to break into them. Something interesting: I love watching the St George Marathon, going on tomorrow in my town.

    ReplyDelete
  95. love this pattern! wonderful job Amber!
    And the blue one looks great hanging in the shop!

  106. Very nice patterns! I like both, but the baby quilt is so elegant in its simplicity of colors and I love the way you decided to quilt it. I hope to win! Barbara form Italy

    ReplyDelete
  107. Great pattern, Amber. It looks like it would go together pretty fast. I think I like the dimension of the two color twist best. I don't know how you do it. You just keep coming out with more inspiration.
    Something interesting...hmmm...I have always gone for the more detailed quilts and now (probably my age) I'm liking the clean lines of quilts like this one. I starting to machine quilt some too, where I ALWAYS hand quilted before.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Very pretty. I could see lots of different looks based on fabric choices.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Beautiful pattern! I just became a new follower-I found your blog through the quilt story blog.

    ReplyDelete
  110. This is such a lovely pattern & such a dramatic difference in the patterned & solid fabric versions. Just wonderful, congratulations on another amazing pattern.
