All Printed Patterns Are Now BACK IN STOCK!
June 28, 2024
My newest quilt pattern, Mod Tops, is here! This was such a fun quilt pattern to write. It's possibly the most versatile quilt pattern I've released to date + it's beginner-friendly too! Both the digital PDF version and printed pattern booklet version are available in my shop now. I can't wait to see what you make with it!
If you need a little quilt fabric inspiration to help you start planning your Mod Tops Quilt, just keep scrolling for some quilt mock-up using some beautiful fabric lines!
The Mod Tops quilt pattern is perfect for those just starting their quilting journey! This versatile design, featuring a modern geometric look, can be crafted using precuts or yardage, offering flexibility and ease for beginners. This means that if you have any Layer Cakes, Fat Eighths Bundles, Fat Quarter Bundles, or Quarter Yard Bundles in your fabric stash, you can use them to make a Mod Tops quilt!
The simple yet stylish blocks make this pattern ideal for showcasing your favorite fabrics - the size of the quilt blocks are perfect for larger prints too! Whether you prefer vibrant prints or subtle solids, Mod Tops will be your new go-to quilt pattern.
If you're anything like me, you might have a hard time visualizing what a fabric line can look like in a quilt pattern. The fabrics might be beautiful and just your style, but the wrong quilt pattern can make the fabrics lose their spark or get lost in the design! I wanted to bring you some inspiration by showing you what Mod Tops can look like in some quilt fabric collections you might like. From moody to bright, you're sure to find some inspiration below!
Neon True Colors designed by Tula Pink for Free Spirit Fabrics is the definition of BRIGHT! But let's be real - any Tula Pink fabric line is perfect for those that love color and big motifs. I plugged these neon polka dot fabrics into Mod Tops and fell in love. I love the colors Tula chose for this line and how Mod Tops shows off every single one!
This one is for those that love muted colors and green. Amber Elliot of Alderwood Studio designed the Garden Dreams fabric collection for Riley Blake Designs. If you know anything about Amber, you'll know that she pulled this collection right from her soul. I loved pairing the different fabrics from her collection against this green print from the line. It's how I feel Amber would have done it. :)
My really good friend Fran Gullick of Cotton + Joy has been designing fabric collections for a couple years, but when I saw this one, I knew it was going to be so popular. This is the Between The Pages fabric collection she designed for Riley Blake Designs. It has so many good reading and book designs in the collection - like this handwritten note-styled fabric I chose for the background!
When you think of Ruby Star Society, does your mind automatically go to Starry fabrics too? It's hard not to pop in a few Starry fabrics into my quilt patterns as I design them, because Starry makes everything look good. Alexia Marcelle Abegg designed the Starry fabric line for RSS, and I'm just so happy she did!
I'm bringing you another moody RSS Mod Tops quilt mock-up! This time I wanted to use one of Sarah Watts' most anticipated fabric collections - Teddy and the Bears. She originally designed Teddy as part of a different fabric collection for Cotton + Steel many years ago. People have been asking for more Teddy and I can see why. Look how cute this rock 'n roll themed fabric collection looks in my Mod Tops quilt!
Art Gallery Fabrics is best know for their soft colors and gallery of floral prints. This charming fabric collection was designed by the popular Maureen Cracknell for AGF. Abode features "exuberant colors, intricate florals, and the spirit of home in every print." I love the dainty and sweet vibe this Mod Tops quilt gives off in the Abode fabrics.
Here's another fabric line in muted colors - Fall's Enchantment designed by Atelier Danielle for Cotton + Steel. I paired it with the coordinating Clusters basics from C+S to create this beautiful version of Mod Tops!
When putting together Mod Tops quilt mock-ups, I feel in love with the look of this one. Denim & Daisies designed by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda Fabrics has the best vintage feel to it! It has a Blue Willow china and Morton Salt Girl vibe to it that I can't get over.
Last but not least - a super fun Mod Tops quilt mock-up! This is the Ghost Town fabric line designed by Dana Willard of MADE Everyday for Figo Fabrics. This is the most adorable Halloween fabric collection I've ever seen, so I knew it would look so cute in my Mod Tops quilt! The dainty little bats and the cats in hats are my favorite ones from this line.
