Loranne’s Beaded Lanterns Quilt

I’m excited to share this beautiful quilt with you, made by Loranne. The pattern is called Beaded Lanterns by Christa Watson, and it’s free on the Benartex website.

It appears to be a jelly roll friendly quilt. If you’re looking for a quilt pattern, check this one out!!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a yellow background fabric on a quilt before, and isn’t it beautiful!! All of the beautiful jewel toned fabrics pop against it.

If I remember right, I used a yellow thread to blend with the background, and my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles out of Ogden Utah.

I suggested Birchwood for the quilting, and I love it!! Birchwood©️ is one of Patricia Ritter and my quilting designs. I’ve loved it quilted on a variety of different quilts over the years. Birchwood is available at Urban Elementz.

The great thing about picking a design like Birchwood, it adds some pretty amazing texture and it softens up all the hard lines in the quilt pattern. Birchwood is also a unique quilty texture…there is nothing out there like it.
