New Pattern: Outhouse Quilt in Doe Fabric.

November 7, 2014 by carolyn friedlander 10 Comments

Doe Outhouse Quilt at Quilt Market_Carolyn Friedlander

 

My third and final new release this fall is the Outhouse Quilt.

Outhouse is new to my paper piecing line, and honestly, it’s just a fun pattern. I had the idea of simple but quirky little houses that you could further personalize and flavor with fun fabric choices.

At my new place, I actually have a funky little outhouse that the previous owners built themselves. There’s a great view of it from my office, and so I’m sure that looking at it everyday has played into the speed with which I’ve been able to add this source of inspiration into my pattern line.

Yesterday, I needed to whip up a smaller version, and so here’s a peek into the process.

The fabrics in these first two versions are from Doe.

I’m also scheming about a Doe/Architextures/Botanics + Liberty version. The nice thing about these little houses is that they only take a small smidgen of fabric, making it a perfect Liberty and/or scrap project. Or if you’re into pre-cuts, a pack of  5″ squares will work just fine too.

If you’re in Ann Arbor next week (Wednesday, November 12), I’m teaching a class for this project for the Ann Arbor Modern Quilt Guild. If you can’t make the class, we’ve also got a trunk show scheduled that evening.

    I’m so inspired by the way you free motion quilt such interesting straight line textures in your work. I’ve been studying the gradiant quilt in your book, where you did lots of it too. It’s finally a way of variant FMQing that doesn’t feel overstuffy to me.

    Your liberty houses are so pretty!
