Boxes of Love - the limited colour version...

Boxes of Love quilt pattern is now available!

Boxes of Love quilt pattern is finally here and l couldn't be any more excited.  This quilt pattern has been the most rewarding pattern l have written to date.  Why, you ask?  It has been the most rewarding because l got to collaborate with my 9yr old baby girl, Lily aka Petal.  You see, when l decided to embark on this journey, it was not only just for me but to show up for my girls to go for their passions.  l would play with some designs and only ever let her colour in said designs because like my fabric scissors, l didn't want her "ruining or damaging" my design programme.  That is, until one day l decided to let go, let her reign free and see where it leads her.  Once l gave her permission and free reign to tinker beyond just the colouring of already made designs, we created her own folder and she got to play.  One of the many designs she made was what we now call Boxes of Love quilt pattern.

When l first saw this design, l literally stopped what l was doing and we got to tweak and refine it a bit more, to enable me to write it into a whole quilt pattern.  I knew from the get go this design had to be shared with the Quiltyverse and l knew l had to do it for her, to show her she's got this.  She still can't believe l've turned her design into a quilt let alone a pattern.  She's so over the moon and overjoyed at what she has achieved.  I am so proud of her and l am so glad that of all the things we could do together, we have created this beautiful memory of a shared passion.  For it to be a heart quilt pattern, what more could l ask for.  Check out the post for the single colour and this post of Tester quilts.

Boxes of Love Skill Level - Intermediate/Confident Beginner

Boxes of Love quilt pattern has been labelled an intermediate or confident beginner quilt pattern.  The reason being is the curved quilt block, not only that, but the double curved units that shape the top of the heart quilt block and is sewn as one piece.  There is a video to show you how to piece that curve heart quilt block though, so never fear.  Other than that, the rest of the quilt pattern is quite simple, very beginner friendly and an easy quilt to put together.

Quilting

I really struggled with how to quilt this throw size Boxes of Love quilt and ended up going with the wavy lines on a diagononal.  I think this works well as it looks like the hearts are floating.

    Hi there, my name is Lynett and welcome to my Avenue!  
    ​I have an insane addiction to fabric and can happily spend all day in a fabric shop just ogling, touching and maybe(most likely) buying some.  l only need a teensy bit of encouragement and l will shop up.  I find so much joy in seeing new life breathed into these fabrics, turning them into some lovely modern makes to use in the home or gift to a special someone.
