It's a New Year and I'm trying to publish blog posts that were never published. You may wonder "How does that happen?" and the answer varies. In this case - I tested a quilt pattern and never heard from the pattern designer about the pattern releasing! I even checked on Instagram a few times to see if she released it and nada. But - I checked her Etsy shop on January 1, 2023 and it's there! This is the Scenic Detour Quilt Pattern by Rebecca of B in the Studio.
This quilt was my first project for Jaftex Fabrics. I was sent the Seas the Day Collection by Diane Eichler for Studio e Fabrics. These prints were so bright and colorful. I loved these cute sea creatures. I used the prints to make a scrappy version of the Scenic Detour Quilt and had fun mixing and matching the sea creatures. The pattern reminded me of a churn and dash block, but with a twist. I didn't have much fabric to work with, so I couldn't always ensure that the prints would be in the right direction.
The collection included a set of panels. They had cute phrases on them. I decided to use them on the quilt back.
Here's a closer look at some of the panels.
While I would have loved to go to the beach and be by the sea to take photos of my quilt, my neighborhood lake had to do.
I made the baby size Scenic Detour. It finished at 54" by 54" which is a decent size.
I haven't found a recipient for this quilt. At least not yet.
