Flower Box and Mix it Up Pattern Re-release

I love making mini quilts! They're like candy - quick and sweet and you can't do just one! They make a great change of pace when you've been working on a lot of big or complicated quilts and you just need a quick finish.

I'm excited to re-release two mini quilt patterns today. They've been updated to have the same format as my other patterns and they've undergone technical editing by Yvonne of Quilting Jetgirl to check all the math and instructions. Together, those things mean I can now offer Flower Box and Mix It Up as both PDFs and printed patterns 😊 You can find them both in my Etsy shop. The special re-release price is available through Monday, April 20th.

I really love both of these patterns, so I'm pleased to finally be able to offer them in printed form. It would be super helpful if you'd ask your local quilt shop to carry them!

Flower Box uses traditional piecing and machine applique and finishes at 24" square. It's a scrap friendly pattern, too! You can stitch up a swirly flower garden for your wall or table super quick.

The background around the flowers makes a great space for fun quilting. It would look equally great with stippling, too.

The applique shapes really pop with the background heavily quilted. The swirly flower was inspired by one I saw embroidered on a Bible cover years ago.

Flower Box was actually my first published pattern, in Make Modern magazine back in 2015. It will always have a special place in my heart! You can get the newly updated Flower Box pattern as a PDF or preorder the printed pattern. I offer free shipping on printed patterns and they'll ship to you as soon as they arrive from the printer.

Mix It Up is my fabric take on the fun of mixing paint colours to create a new colour. I love a good machine applique orange peel design! Mix It Up finishes at 36" square.

I chose the classic blue + yellow=green for the sample quilt. What colours would you mix up? I've always wanted to do red+white=pink or black+white=grey or maybe blue+green=teal...There are so many options! I'd like to make a print version, too, instead of all solids.

The background of Mix It Up is another great space for fun quilting and I chose matchstick lines after echo quilting around all of the orange peels.

Just like with Flower Box, you can get the newly updated Mix It Up pattern as a PDF or preorder the printed pattern. The printed patterns will ship to you as soon as they arrive from the printer, with free shipping anywhere in the world.

Head over to my Etsy shop to pick up these patterns, just in time for a little fun weekend stitching. Be quick, though - the re-release price is only available through Monday. Get yours before the price goes up on Tuesday morning 😊

Do you love making mini quilts too?
