Hello Everyone,
You probably have been wondering if all I have been doing as of late is paper piecing? The answer is no... I have actually been doing other things too. I know... shocker!
Oh and there is a little surprise at the end of this post, so stick with me.
I thought you might like to see..
I designed another quilt for Quilt Magazine out of Australian Aboriginal fabrics and Kona Cotton. I wanted to use a great variety of prints and make it more scrappy looking.
It is a combination of strip pieced triangles for the border and half log cabin blocks for the body of the quilt.
A fun Australian print for the backing.
A leaf print for an edge to edge quilting design.
Bright and brilliant, just like I like it, but a scrap busting appeal. I know you all have TONS of scraps right?
Here is the whole quilt. It is 60" X 60" square. But you could really enlarge it to whatever you like... or make it smaller.
For variation, here I have done it in African fabrics....
Yes there is a stray block taking up the design wall... just ignore that one. You can find African fabrics in my shop online by clicking here, Australian fabrics can by found here.
Now for the big reveal...
Here is the photo from the magazine. Don't they do a great job? I love how the quilt looks draped over the chair.
Here is their flat shot... again they do a fantastic job! The quilt looks gorgeous!
Here is the magazine that you can find it in... As luck may have it you can find it in my online shop.

Now for the surprise...

I hope you enjoyed the tour of the Mountains & Plains!! If you decide to make it after downloading the pattern, please send me a photo! I would love to see your version!
Until Next Time...

Oh, my that is so pretty. Love the pattern, and thanks so much! I have a bunch of Australian I've been saving - this might just be the thing. But first, I have 3 or 4 UFOs to finish before I start another quilt. At least, that's the plan!
As usual, another gorgeous quilt from Jackie. Congrats!
pretty pattern, those magazines sure know how to drape a quilt just right over a chair don't they!
Very fun! Just may have to make this one! Thanks for sharing!
I would look so good under that quilt! ;-)
Love it- great pattern to use up all the "collections" I've been collecting.
this looks great! how fun to have a quilt pattern in a magazine.
that leaf pattern quilting is a nice allover design
Oh Wow Jackie I can't believe how super prolific you have been at quilt making...you were doing this quilt through the sew along :0). What beauties, your fabric choices are just perfect in these quilts! Thanks for the free download, ya just never know when the urge to make a beauty like this one will strike!
Happy Sewing and continued success!
Stop it! I have my Mariner's Compass to work on and school starts again for me in 10 days.
This is lovely - just downloaded the pattern!
Wonderfully fun quilt! I'm really loving the fabrics. And what a surprise at the end- a free pattern download ;-)
Thank you for sharing on this blog post.

Jackie, that's a great quilt. I think it would look stunning and also "modern" with a white or gray background. Thanks so much for the free pattern!

That is such a fabulous quilt! Perfect for scraps and wonderful in both of fabric choices. The leafy quilt pattern suits it so well.
