Happy Sunday! Hope you're all enjoying your weekend! I've been trying to relax a bit more than usual after a long week behind me and another coming up. I'm here today to share with you a new quilt along starting up next month!
I met Sharon McConnell in December 2012 at the very first Camp Stitchalot put on by Pink Castle Fabrics! We sat across from each other in the sewing room all weekend. While I went back and forth between a multitude of different projects Sharon plugged away on a single quilt. Let me tell you, I was so blown away by it the entire weekend. You couldn't help but be distracted by the bright and cheerful colors, prints, and design. Lucky for us, she has just published a pattern for her cool creation, the Polka Dot Bikini Quilt Pattern!
To kick off it's release, Sharon is holding a quilt along starting February 6th! She already has a great curved piecing tutorial up here. The schedule is nice and reasonable at about 6 blocks every two weeks, but of course you can sew at your own pace! Follow along on Sharon's blog for all the quilt along action including posts to help put your quilt together, alternative ideas, and giveaways as well!
You can pick up a copy of the pattern in Sharon's shop, here!
I feel like I could stare at that quilt forever, there is just so much to look at! I hope I can find time to start one soon, even if it's just enough blocks for a wall hanging. I've already started scheming what fabrics and combinations to use! I think the new Chromatics collection by Art Gallery Studio would be fun with maybe all shades of gray for the solids. Or maybe my Color Me Retro collection along with an array of green solids! There are so many possibilities, I don't think you could really go wrong!
Make sure to check out my Art of Choosing series from a few years back for color inspiration and fabric selection advice!
Sharon has kindly offered to give away a copy of the Polka Dot Bikini PDF pattern to two lucky In Color Order readers! Just leave a comment to enter. Tell me what fabrics/colors you'd use if you want! Giveaway will end Wednesday, January 29th at 5pm CST.
Good luck!
That is so beautiful and the colours are amazing. I don't quilt but that really makes me want to! Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteReally like this pattern, it's about time I tried piecing curves!
ReplyDeleteI have a bundle of Joel Dewberrry fabrics that would be perfect for this pattern. I want to make a wedding quilt for my son and his fiancee who are getting married in September, but I have been struggling to find a pattern that I liked. I think I have just found it!
ReplyDeleteWow! What an incredible quilt, love the colors!
ReplyDeleteWOW! What an amazing quilt! I am in awe of your skill in both construction and design! I really don't know what fabrics I would use- making something to rival this would be something!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is beautiful! Really stunning. I wonder how it would look with some bits low volume?
ReplyDeletePops of colour with black and white. What a fun quilt! hayleymstephens at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteSuch a stunning quilt. I would go for bright colors like she has done
ReplyDeleteWow. Who could resist this one? I would use solids in the circles and lots and lots of dots everywhere else. Thanks so much for the chance to win this pattern. You just blew my resolution to stick with my current list of projects and not get distracted by another something-along in blog land.
ReplyDeleteIts beautiful! And the quilting is awesome! Your Color me Retro Line would nail it for me!
ReplyDeleteI would use Kona solids with a few scrappy bits from stash :) It really is a fab quilt!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Quilt! I definitely want to win and join along the quilt along. The colours Sharon chose was sure catchy!
ReplyDeleteI would like to try brights, low volumes and black. Thanks for a chance to win. I love Sharon's quilts.
ReplyDeleteThe Polka Dot Bikini quilt is beautiful! I'd enjoy that quilt along, I'm sure. Thank you for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteWow - that is a stunning quilt.... I wonder how it would look in blacks and whites with a pop of colour - maybe lime green.....
ReplyDeleteI would use similar colours because I actually love it as is!
ReplyDeleteI bought a bundle of Alison Glass' Clover Sunshine today, so I think that would work great in this pattern!

I like the bright polka dots and solids, so would probably do something similar to the example shown.
ReplyDeleteI love her quilt and fabric choices so I would probably do the bright polka dots and solids as well. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous! I think I'd go a little scrappy, with maybe some white to keep it all controlled.
ReplyDeleteI love that quilt!!!!! I think I would use Kona solids for the centers and I would have to dig out all my polka dots for the curved pieces. I do LOVE polka dots! This could be the quilt that sets me off my fabric fast!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy quilt! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI would use a combination of solids and prints! Haven't really decided which fabrics use yet. those polka dots are colorful!
ReplyDeleteWhat an outstanding quilt. I love Sharon color way, and have enough batik scraps to do it. Your choice of fabrics is gorgeous. Can't wait to see you blog about it.
ReplyDeleteI have two kona color story bundles (aqua and purple), so I would probably play with those.
ReplyDeleteI have a fat quarter bundle of polka dots that would be perfect for this quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt! I'm on a solid kick...so I'd probably do pink and orange solids. I haven't done curves yet...but I love they way they look.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably go with blenders or solids, but I'm still really intimidated by curves.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's an impressive pattern! I'd go with solids or nearly solid blenders, I think. But first I'd have to work on doing curves!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun quilt, I love all the curves. I would make it with a bunch of solids and then bright scraps I think.
ReplyDeleteOooh... look at all that curved piecing! I think I might do it in teals and greys, Konas of course!
ReplyDeleteI just bought some new polka dot fat quarters that would be great!
ReplyDeleteI would want to make my quilt look just like hers...lots of brights and polka dots....would be a good time to dig thru the stash...
ReplyDeleteI've been collecting dots and Kona solids. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh! So beautiful! I'd probably try to use lots of brights like you have!

I really love curves, so this pattern is great. I think I would do something a bit scrappy in a rainbow of colors instead of just using one line. That way I can incorporate some of my favorite fabrics from various designers.
ReplyDeleteI would use oval elements for the "polka-dot" areas
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pattern! I think I would use blask & white fabrics with a gray for the arches. Maybe Little Black Dress II..
ReplyDeleteIt also would be pretty in different solids with black arches. Oh, the choices! :)

Whoo wee! This would be a tough decision. Most likely solids and Kaffe fabrics would be spectacular. Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI just love this quilt as it is. So I'd do something very similar to Sharon's
ReplyDeleteI would do it in red/black/white/grey/aqua/yellow. What a pretty quilt!
ReplyDeleteWow no matter what I pick I would never be able to improve on the original it is amazing! I know I would use bright colors maybe neons.
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a beautiful quilt!!! I think I would use aqua, dark blue, purple and red violet.
ReplyDeleteI love the pattern - saw it on facebook this morning and it actually took my breath away as I stopped to stare at it.
ReplyDeleteI've had this pattern up on my Safari page for awhile! Love it! I would probably use the same brights she did....I'm not very good at coloring outside the lines yet.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pattern! Just the motivation I would need to work on my curved piecing skills!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. I'd use different shades of blue and grey with orange or hot pink accents. Great bold colors. Great giveaway.Thank you
ReplyDeletethe original quilt looks great. I would love to remake it in that style. Dots in contrast to solids. It's sooo great! Probably in a colourful (lots of different colors) way but how knows. Maybe a more specific colour combination come to mind later - but definitly dots to solids. Huge!
ReplyDeletethat quilt is amazing!!!!!!!! I'm not sure what fabrics I'd use. normally that's the easy part, but with such an incredible Patten, choosing fabrics that would do the original justice would be pretty difficult!
ReplyDeleteI love the beautiful bright colors of this quilt. I love the Seaside line from October Afternoon and would love to see it in those colors.
ReplyDeleteI saw this on her blog and about fell over with how beautiful itis. I'm not sure what I would use, but she nailed the colors so well, I think I'd stick with them
ReplyDeleteI love the colors she used on her quilt!!
ReplyDeleteI am wanting to try some "low volume" colors and I'm thinking they would be really pretty in this quilt. On the other hand, I love the bright colors! And I love the curves in this quilt! Color is what inspires me when I quilt and sew so I love your blog, Jeni!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours, fun and cheery on a grey winter day!! This will be lots of fun to quilt along!!
ReplyDeleteThat is suce a gorgeous quilt. I love the colours used, but don't know if I am brave enough to try it. I would probably go for blues and greens with flashes of orange red and yellow.
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt! I have been hoarding my polka dots for the "perfect" polka dot quilt...this could be it!
ReplyDeleteI like your bright colors so much. I'd maybe add a bit of orange.
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt! I have been hoarding my polka dots for the "perfect" polka dot quilt...this could be it!
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt! I have been hoarding my polka dots for the "perfect" polka dot quilt...this could be it!
ReplyDeleteThis has been added to my 'to-do' list. I love the bright colors.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I'm learning how to quilt and hope to graduate to this someday. Maybe with Lotta Jansdotter's upcoming Mormor collection and some solid greys.
ReplyDeleteTula pinks in purple, green and turquoise . Just finished improv quilt with long curved lines. Might be ready to tackle these.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colors, the curves, and the quilting - basically, everything about this quilt! Not sure what fabrics I'd use - it would be great fun selecting just the right ones!
ReplyDeleteIn my stash I have a bunch of bright colored fabrics, New Mexico style, and some Kona solids. I'd have to add some dotty fabric, though, probably some Riley Blake dots.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful eye catching quilt!! I think I would have to go scrappy due to my fabric fast, but the new collection of Lecien dots sure would be gorgeous! Thanks for the chance to win this beauty.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt! I have been using up small scraps by making monochromatic "made fabric" squares. I'd use them in your design with white and light gray arcs and then add whatever it needed (love the dots!). Thanks for the chance to win a copy of your pattern.
ReplyDeleteI think the colors with the polka dots and elements set aside the gorgeous quilting done, Makes this quilt what it is.
ReplyDeleteI think this quilt would look amazing in Amy Butler's Hapi fabric...or Kaffe prints would be fabulous...so gorgeous! Would love to win the pattern!
ReplyDeletecaribousmom (at) gmail (dot) com
If I was making this, I would probably use turquoise/orange/yellow/white/grey. Thanks!
ReplyDeletethat quilt is a masterpiece! if I could summon the gumption to take on this pattern, I think I'd try for low volume solids with patterns in only a few colors - like red and teal!
ReplyDeletewow what a stunning design. Im not sure about fabrics...maybe solids in rainbow colors with some black would look awesome!
ReplyDeletetotally love it, i would use Lottie da
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great quilt! Picking fabrics is the hardest part for me, so I'd probably spend awhile staring at all the choices at the LQS. Color Me Retro would be fabulous, as I haven't gotten a chance to play with those yet.
ReplyDeleteI'd use gray as the neutral with pops of bright color, including lots of dots. Love this quilt and thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilt!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to do a rainbow/dotty version!
WOW!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI www old like to see this quilt in AMH and solids
ReplyDeletethis just may be the vehicle needed to help me with my curves - both sewing and cutting. I think I would work with a minimum of colors, mostly solids and a pop of print where needed - like red, white and blue, or red, pink, white and maroon....something like that
ReplyDeleteMy niece would love to have a quilt like this, and pink is her favorite color, so I think I would use a lot of pinks for the solids, and dots in a rainbow of colors.
ReplyDeletei'm having a hard time resisting another project, but this one keeps tempting me, maybe i'll be lucky and get the pattern then i will have no other choice but to jump in, wishing myself luck lolololol thanks for the chance
ReplyDeletethis quilt is adorable! I love all of her color but I think it would also look cool in LV prints with pops of color.
ReplyDeleteI love bright colored quilts like this. I would make it out of similar colors.
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful quilt! I would use bright colors in my quilt just like the one shown!
ReplyDeleteI really love the placement of the solids and prints in this quilt. I love it as-is but I'm not a big pink fan, so I suppose I'd dig out prints from my stash and pull out solids that coordinate.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a spectacular quilt! I also love bright colors and would love to make it in aqua, lime, orange and yellow.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt…love those bright colors!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd want to make it in subtler shades or tints of the colours used in this version. what a fantastic design!
ReplyDeleteI adore all of the colors, but the purples are really jumping out at me. They would be great with a grey accent.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt!! The colors and quilting are so pretty! I think I would make mine in pinks, greys and black. Love curves.
ReplyDeletemeghan.anhalt@live.com
That quilt has such a wow factor. It is amazing. I love the use of colors too. Very inspirational
ReplyDeleteOh I like your brights....I would use kona solids for sure..and some vibrant colors.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful quilt. Glad she is offering a qal. I use reds and squad
ReplyDeleteOhh! Pretty! I've never felt the desire to piece curves before, but I would love to piece these ones. I have the blue/green bundle of Kona solids that I've been saving for just the right project. They'd be perfect for this. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteSharon's quilt absolutely blew me away the first time I saw it! It is still an inspiration whenever I see pictures. I love that she used quite a lot of solids and so know I'd include them. I do love the bright colors but don't know where I'd go after the solids.
ReplyDeleteI've been anxiously awaiting the US arrival of Emma Jean Jansen's Terra Australis. I think the bright colors would be a perfect match for this quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt. I would use Art Gallery solids with dots and a few florals like the original.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt. I'd have to think about fabrics. Her choices are stunning….
ReplyDeleteA beautiful quilt! I think the colors and fabrics she used is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteWow that quilt is total gorgeousness. Curves scare me still but the quilt is so inspiring that I'd love to give it a go. Not sure what fabric I'd use but it would definitely be rich bright colours. Louise xx
ReplyDeleteWow that quilt is amazing! I would love to win the pattern. I am not sure what colors I would use. I would mix it up and dig within my stash!
ReplyDeleteI'm not generally a huge fan of big, bold, bright colors, but this is changing my mind...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colors and the polka dots, think I would choose that route!
ReplyDeleteOh WOW! I would love to win the pattern! I would go with bright and happy colours! I have Kaffe Fasset Paperweight bundle that would be perfect for this quilt!
ReplyDeleteI think I would like to see it in 1930's Repros! I have a bundle just waiting to be used. I would love to try this pattern although I would def need to learn the curves!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance at the giveaway!
xo jan @ sewandsowfarm
I love the polka dots I've got a small collection I could add to with some bright solids for my version of this quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to try using some of my striped fabrics, pops of solid color and neutrals to balance it out...definately going to need to use that coloring page! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWow- I've never seen anything like this beautiful quilt! I would use similar colors - mostly for fear of choosing the wrong ones (and knowing I already like this combination).
ReplyDeleteMy granddaughter loves polka dots. I would just need to decide on colors. Thanks to Jodi from Pleasant Home for telling me about you wonderful website.
ReplyDeleteLove polka dots. Gorgeous. Toss my name in the hat.
ReplyDeleteI would love to do this pattern in bright batiks. Thanks so much for sharing

ReplyDeleteI actually like the way Sharron has made up her quilt. Although I would have good intentions to do the same...idk, maybe in a neutral tone on tone. Who knows, anything is possible with this pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and pattern of this quilt! The quilting is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI would use some bright colors - electric blues, hot pinks, oranges, and limes.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, I would love to try making one for myself. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilt! As I'm trying to fabric fast this year(!!) I would have to use my Kona solids and various prints from my stash :) But if I wasn't fasting, I think it would be Anna Maria Horner True Colors!

ReplyDeleteTalk about a color explosion! It would have to be something already in my stash,so maybe Pat Sloan's Bobbins and Bits...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI would use those intensely bright, saturated colors as in the original, but I'd add black and white geometric prints to increase the color intensity. Cool pattern!

ReplyDeleteJeni this is one of the neatest quilts I've seen in a long time. Using the squares on the outer edge really make it pop. Beautiful. Candy
ReplyDeleteGreat new pattern. And the colors rock! I'd have to stick with bright colors myself.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd have to go with solids and dots ~ maybe not as bright as Sharon's but still something with the same idea. Love the quilting and it shows up so much better than with prints!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the generous giveaway!
What a great quilt pattern. As for the colours I would use I think it would be greens.
ReplyDeleteI recently won a FQ bundle of Hand Drawn Garden and the matching Kona solids....would be lovely!

ReplyDeleteLove Love Love this. Your color choice is fabulous. Hope I am up to the challenge. My current expertise is squares so far

I would love to win that pattern so I can use the 'dots' stash I've been hoarding just for this project! I have all the solids I need too!!

ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful quilt. I would probably make it in shades of blues & grays.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt. I would use bright colors, solids and polka dots.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many polka dot ranges now I'm not sure which I'd choose - but I adore polka dots so would definitely use them.
ReplyDeleteI love it just the way it is, in brights- but i might add some grey as well.
ReplyDeleteI have been saving dot fabric forever and would definitely dig into that stash. I have also a bunch of 1/2 cut yards of Kona cottons that may work in as well.
ReplyDeletelove tis quilt...not sure what colors I want to use
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt! I'd love to make it in Quiet Time, Tamara Kate's new line for Michael Miller. Her Freckles would make great "polka dot bikinis!"
ReplyDeleteI would have to go to a quilt shop and ask for assistance in choosing what to use or I would pick some fabrics and ask them if it work. I'm just never confident about my choices

ReplyDelete
