Lucky Square Quilt Pattern and a giveaway!

DSC_0747

Happy Monday everyone!  I am so excited to share my very first quilt pattern with you all!  You can purchase this pattern, Lucky Square in my pattern shop or on Craftsy.  

This quilt comes together quickly and simply.  The Lucky Square PDF quilt pattern is a great way to use your favorite small scale prints combined with a solid background fabric, to form a patchwork interlocking pattern. Use your favorite fabric line, or scraps from stash for a unique look!

Right now the pattern is available for instant PDF download only (no hard copies), for $6.50 (after January 21st, price will be $8.00) and 10 page PDF instructions include all the information necessary to make this quilt, including detailed cutting and step-by-step piecing instructions, complete with illustrations detailing each piecing step.

Pattern include instructions for 4 different sized quilts, Baby (38” x 38”), Lap (58” x 68”), Twin (68” x 88”) and Queen (88” x 98”)

I really love how versatile this pattern is.  This Lucky Square quilt no longer lives with me, as it was gifted to my aunt for Christmas, and I'm envisioning a second Lucky Square quilt just for us using up some sacred teensy tiny 2.5" squares I've been saving up of my most favorite fabrics since I began quilting 3 years ago.

I am so so grateful for a few quilty friends who answered my pleas for pattern testers to double check my work, and just love their versions of the pattern!  Here are a few who finished up quilt tops using the pattern:


Adrianne completed this version using Essex Linen as her background fabrics and Indie by Art Gallery Fabrics as the prints.  I am in love with how soft her version feels with that great linen as the background.  She also added borders to the quilt edges, which looks great!  Adrianne blogged about her quilt top here.


Michelle whipped up a baby version using a few adorable baby boy prints and white as her background fabric, this will be one lucky baby boy who receives this quilt!


Kirsten made this lap version using Architextures and a Kona grey as the background fabric.  Her husband is one lucky man to be receiving this quilt as a gift, I love how the prints really pop against the dark background!


This is Alison's scrappy version, she blogged about her quilt top here.  Alison has me wanting to dig through my scrap bins and start on a second quilt, like now!

This is Brooke's progress, hello fabric envy!  This Castle Peeps version is to die for, and I can't wait to see it come together!


Marla is in the middle of basting her twin size quilt.  She used Kona celery as her background fabric, and I'm totally digging it!

I can't say thank you enough to all of my pattern testers, this certainly would not have come together without them!!


This pattern can be purchased from my pattern shop for $6.50 through January 21st, 2013.  After January 21st, the price will then be $8.00. 

Now for the good stuff..I am offering up a giveaway of my Lucky Square quilt pattern to 3 people.  Simply leave me a comment on this post, and Mr. Random will select 3 winners on Wednesday, January 16, 2013!
