Hi there! I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving holiday if you live in the USA!
We did things a little differently this year and went out to eat in Deer Valley, UT.
It was a winter wonderland there, as you can see. We had a great time, relaxing and spending time with friends.
Over the last couple of days I have been writing instructions for a new project I am going to start soon.
I've talked a little bit about it on Instagram...
I've been wanting to make another 2-color quilt. I made a green and white Irish Chain quilt a few years ago, ended up selling it, and have been wanting to make another one ever since. This time, I decided to go with this Uneven 9-Patch pattern though. I thought it had a similar vibe but it's a little more jazzy! I have never made an Uneven 9-Patch quilt if you can believe that!
For the dark fabric, I'm using this green leaf fabric (from my Feels Like Home collection with Riley Blake Designs). It's called Sketchy Leaves and is in stores now. For the light fabric, I am using this cream quilty stars print that I designed for Riley Blake's Hush Hush 4 low-volume collection. It's called Seeing Stars and just shipped to stores!
[Santa Mini Mug Pincushion was gifted to me by my friend Shannon White.]
I plan to make a king-size quilt for my bed. I have written the instructions to include 5 different size options though so there's something for everyone! I think it would be cute in any colorway. 2-color quilts are just classic! I'm loving this red and white "test" block I made!
I am not doing an official quilt-along for this pattern. I have no sign-ups, or schedule, and won't be sending any emails. But I would love for you to make one too, if your little heart desires! I'm starting Monday, December 2nd as a little treat to myself for getting through November haha! Feel free to join me. I'll be sharing my progress on Instagram.
I'm not sure how long it will take me but I think it will be a little bit festive to work on this during December. It's green and white so I think it will be really cute at Christmastime, but it will work in my home throughout the year too!

Happy holidays,
