When Kristy Lea of Quiet Play Designs asked if l could make a project for her new fabric collection Imagine for Riley Blakes Designs, l was ecstatic. l immediately knew which design was coming to life with this rainbow collection. I mean, who could pass on these gorgeous fabrics bursting with colour. Introducing the Flourishing quilt (there is no pattern for this one yet, but it's in the works).

​You can read about the Boxes of Love single heart colour version here and the limited heart colour version here.

Today l'm excited to share with you my Tester versions of the Boxes of Love quilt pattern.  Without them, this pattern would not have been what it is.  I so appreciate their help and feedback as this helps turn ok to great and to see their interpretation of the design is always the fun.  Let's jump into the tester quilts.

The Boxes of Love quilt pattern is now available!

This baby size Boxes of Love quilt was first off the rank when we decided this pattern was a go.  I was so eager to get started that l finished cutting and piecing the top within the day.  I love the colour combination of the pink, green and white, a palette l have wanted to use for the longest of times but not the right project on hand.  All the fabrics used are Kona solids and l just can't help but smile each time l see this baby size Boxes of Love quilt.  This single colour heart version uses yardage, so pull out your favourite fabrics and get started.   For a different colour palette check out this post for the limited colour version and this post of Tester quilts.

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.
