This is my first time entering the Blogger’s Quilt Festival hosted by Amy over at Amy’s Creative Side. This is such a fun event and I’m excited to share my quilt with you!
I was lucky enough to be given a little bit of the upcoming Lucky Penny line from Alison Glass before Fall Quilt Market in Houston this fall. I wanted to create a quilt that really accentuated the movement in the ‘Bike Path’ print and this simple layout really fit the bill.
This is a really fun, quick pattern to put together and I enjoyed figuring it out. I’ve already written up the tutorial and I’ll post it next week since I am working my way through my quilt market recaps this week.
This quilt finished at about 48″ x 60″. It is a great throw size.
The back is made up of leftover pieces from the front and some gorgeous Moda crossweave in natural. Making quilt backs is one of my favorite things. I love challenging myself to use my leftover pieces from the front to make the back special, creative, and a little bit of a surprise.
I quilted this myself on my home machine, experimenting with simple figure eights to bring in texture and bring more attention to the prints.
I am very happy with how this little quilt turned out! It is bright with all of the colors of fall, with enough white that I can enjoy it year round!
I’m so glad you visited and I enjoyed showing you my little quilt. I’d love it if you stayed awhile and made yourself at home. I have a few fun, free quilt patterns and quite a few more in the works, if you want to follow along!
Thanks for stopping by!
Your quilting is incredible and the quilt itself is so beautiful. What a great entry into the festival!
I agree – very nice use of this pattern to show off this particular fabric! And I love your quilting – inspiring!

The movement in this quilt is great. And what a nice fall photoshoot.
I love how simple this is and how completely beautifully it shows off the fabrics. The white background and quilting really make everything pop.
Beautiful. Moda crossweaves always make me happy and I love the way you’ve used it here. Perfect quilting choice, too. 🙂
Beautiful quilt! I caught snippets of it on Instagram and I absolutely love the finished quilt! Great quilting too…

I so love this quilt! I can’t wait for your tutorial. I want to make one NOW!
The quilting on this along with the directional print give this quilt so much movement. Good job!
I really like this. I’ve been a fan of this pattern for quite a while now, but this fabric, being all the same ‘moving’ print, yet different colors, really makes for an interesting , controlled quilt.
I mean I REALLY like it. The quilting does give the quilt interesting movement too. Nice job !
Beautiful quilt! You did a great job on the quilting, as well! It is perfect!
I love this quilt and the lucky penny line. Can’t wait til it’s available to purchase! Your quilting is awesome!
I love this!! Simple and gorgeous.
love this quilt – I can’t even decide if I like the back or the front more, honestly. Great job – also love your website, glad I came across it.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this quilt! I am going to have to get this fabric as soon as I can get my hands on it. Love the pattern — sweet and simple! 🙂
Love your quilt! The bright colors and that cool fabric make it a very stunning quilt! 🙂
LOVE the Lucky Penny print! Great quilt design to show it off!
I cannot BELIEVE you quilted that on your home machine!! That is amazing – such a beautiful quilt. Those stupid little figure eights make me want to scream whenever I try them.
Love this! It turned out so cute Amanda!!
super cute!
Wonderful! And I am definitely going to visit your site more and check out the tutorials and patterns.
So glad you are writing a tutorial! Love your quilt.
