BQF: Introducing Ring Toss

I am so excited to not only have a quilt to contribute to the Blogger's Quilt Festival this time around, but also be releasing my second quilt pattern at the same time!  Ring Toss is now available both in my pattern shop and on Craftsy for $6.50 through May 20 (after May 20th price will be $8.00).

And now introducing Ring Toss, my newest quilt pattern!  This quilt is inspired by Denyse Schmidt's Single Girl, but by designing my own pattern and templates, I was able to take the parts I wasn't so crazy about and make it mine, and in turn make it available to you as well, in 5 different sizes!

I chose to make the baby  size, as I obviously have babies on the brain.  While we don't yet know what sex the little bean is, I have an inkling that it's a boy, hence the overwhelming amount of blue themed quilt palettes you'll be seeing in the coming weeks.  Of course I could be completely wrong, and we could be baking ourselves a little lady in there, hopefully we'll be able to find out soon!

Anyways, back to the quilt!  This PDF pattern comes together very quickly and easily for quilters of all experience levels.  The Ring Toss pattern includes detailed step-by-step instructions, complete with pictures of each step detailing both the foundation piecing (paper piecing) process for piecing the arc portions, as well as pictures walking you through the process of piecing curves.  This quilt would serve as a great skill builder for beginner quilters, yet also fit a more advanced quilters skill level as well.

The Ring Toss pattern lends itself very well to using your favorite fabric line, or your most precious scraps from your stash.  The pattern includes instructions for cutting from both yardage or fat quarters (fat eighths for the baby size), as well as supplemental cutting instructions for larger fabric pieces if needed when foundation piecing.

The Ring Toss quilt pattern is now available from my pattern shop (please allow 24 hours for email delivery)  as well as Craftsy (available for instant download) for a discounted price of $6.50 through Monday, May 20 (after May 20th, price will be $8.00).

I can't wait to see your creations, if you do make a Ring Toss quilt I would love to see it in my Flickr pool!

  12. What a cute quilt! I do like your version better than the Single Girl--the roundness and spacing is more appeasing to me.
