Liz + Pat’s Paper Tree Quilt

So excited to share this gorgeous quilt with you, today!! Even though I’m behind in sharing other quilts I’ve quilted, I wanted to share this one that is fresh off my longarm before the holiday season is over.

The pattern is free with the Fat Quarter Shop Jelly Bar precut in the Poinsettia Plaza Collection of fabrics, which I couldn’t find available. Contact Fat Quarter Shop and see if they will give you a copy.

Or…here is a similar pattern by Laundry Basket Quilts go to: https://www.laundrybasketquilts.com/online-store/Christmas-Tree-PDF-download-p274316146 to get the PDF pattern.

Pat and Liz are sisters, Liz picks out different quilts and Pat helps her sew them together. They did an excellent job on this one!!

Pat suggested a colored thread, and I shared the tip from Kim Diehl that I learned a few years ago ago…to have the thread color be a little darker than the background so the quilting shows up. It’s an excellent way to showcase the design.

I used Omni threads in the Sesame Seeds #3008 from Superior Threads. https://www.superiorthreads.com/omni-3008-sesame-seeds/p/134-02-3008

I also used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

We debated over a few different designs and in the end Liz chose Patricia Ritter’s and my NEWEST design Chantilly Snow, which is only available at Urban Elementz. Go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/chantilly-snow.html

It’s so exciting to use one of my designs for the first time!! I think it turned out beautifully.

I love the snowflakes swirling and dancing across the quilt.
