THE Island Path - Layer Cake Quilt Pattern

4/27/2022

 
Picture
The Island Path Quilt by Yoan Sewing Studio

Make this charming quilt using a set of layer cake (pre cut 10" square fabrics). The Island Path quilt is such a lovely, pretty large in size, yet relatively simple to create.

Finished quilt measurements : 66 1/2" x 81 1/2" (179 x 207 cm)
Block measurements : 11 1/2" x 11 1/2" (29.2cm x 29.2cm)

What you need to make this quilt

Layer Cake 
1 full set of layer cake or 42 pieces of 10" squares. I use batik layer cake fabrics, but you can use any theme/colors that you desire.
2 1/3 yard of background fabric
I use Kona fabric in off-white color.
5/8 yard border fabric
I opt for narrow border for this quilt (2 1/2" wide), feel free to make wider border (adjust the measurements and the amount of fabric needed accordingly). 
72" x 83" batting
Choose any batting that you like. I personally prefer 100% cotton batting, which is light and easy to work with.
4 1/2 yard backing fabric
5/8 yard binding fabric

Machine quilting thread (if opt machine quilting) 

Basic sewing /quilting notions


What can I use instead of layer cake?

You may cut individual pieces of each fabric panel according to the listed measurements. Fat quarters, yardage, even fabric scraps will work (the amount of fabric that you need may vary depending on how many variation of each fabric that you use).

What fabric line did you use for this project?
I mixed different lines of batik fabric for this project, most of the pieces are from the layer cake, and some I cut individually from yardage. I would say that most of them are Indonesian Batik. 

Please watch the full video tutorial on my Youtube channel, and happy sewing.

Brick Work Quilt by Yoan Sewing Studio
The brick-work quilt is my another take on the beloved Jelly Roll strips. If you are looking for a fun, yet simple pattern to utilize these lovely fabric strips, this pattern may be just for you.

Finished Quilt Measurement : 55 1/2" x 63 1/2" (141 x 161 cm)
Block measurements : 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" (21.5 x 21.5 cm)

What you need to make this quilt

42x Jelly roll strips - 2 1/2” x 44“ (6.4 x 111 cm) strips
1x full bundle of jelly roll strips should suffice for this project, however each manufacturer
may vary in the amount of strips given in a package, (somewhere between 38-45 strips).
If yours is less than 42 pcs, cut few extra strips in neutral colors to get the required amount.
2/3 yard border fabric
I use Kona fabric in off-white color to pull this quilt together
58” x 66”(147 x 168 cm) batting
use batting of your choice, I always prefer cotton batting since it's breathable and easy to work with
3 1/2 yard backing fabric   
1/2 yard binding fabric
Note: yardage requirements are estimated, based on standard 44” wide cotton quilting fabric.

Machine quilting thread (if opt machine quilting) 
Basic sewing /quilting notions

What fabric did I use to make this quilt?
I did mix and match several fabric lines, gathering leftover and half opened jelly roll strips that have been accumulating in my stash. Although I would guess about 60% of the fabrics are from French General by Moda Fabrics.

Please watch the full video tutorial on my Youtube channel, and happy quilting.

Finished quilt measurements : Approximately 57 1/2" x 66" (throw size).

Finished block : 9" x 9"

I'm so pleased to share another exciting scrap busting quilt project with you today. The spring casserole quilt is a rail fence style quilt that is relatively simple, yet very delightful and satisfying to make.
With this quilt, I mixed and matched lots of scraps, some are my favorites, some aren't; some are from high quality premium quilting fabrics, some are budget fabrics from chain stores; yet they all come together wonderfully.

Finished quilt measurements : Approx. 62.5" x 70.5" (158.7 x 179 cm)

Quilt binding tutorial - Yoan Sewing Studio
Binding a quilt is the last step in quilt making, and to me, it's the most fun part, because I am one step closer in getting a new quilt. 

As many of you reached out and asked me questions related to quilt binding, I decided to make a full tutorial on how to bind a quilt, from determining how many strips you need, cutting and joining the strips. attaching the binding, joining the binding ends, and finishing the binding.

You may watch the tutorial on how to bind a quilt on my Youtube channel by clicking the button below.

Square in a square Pillow and Table Runner by Yoan Sewing Studio
The Square in a Square pillow and table runner/wall hanging is an amazing pair that will brighten up your room.  This is a great project to use up some of your favorite charm pack stash, pretty simple yet of course, so much fun to make.
In creating the blocks, I used the same principle as the Modern Layer Cake Square in a Square quilt tutorial that I shared last winter, which has gotten many positive feedback, however with this  project we will use charm pack or the 5" square pre cut fabric.

You may download the pattern and watch the video tutorial by clicking the buttons below.

For the pillow, you will need an 18" x 18" pillow form, and the cover comes with a zipper closure, for easier care.

Improv Quadrant Wall Hanging QUilt Tutorial

4/16/2020

 
Picture
Quilt Wall Hangin | Improv Quadrant Curve
Today I'd love to share with you my little quilty adventure. This wall hanging project came rather spontaneously. I was having a "creative block" moment where my brain was simply stuck and couldn't figure what to make or what my next move should be, so I stood by my cutting table, grab a couple scraps of fabric, and my rotary cutter, then started cutting, sew, and this quilt happened.

In this project you'll learn how to sew improv style "Quadrant" like curves, it may look intimidating at first if you haven't done it yet, but it is actually pretty simple, and since this is an improv quilt, accuracy is not in your agenda (although yes, we still need to square up each block to make it easier to assemble)

I posted the tutorial on my Youtube channel that you may watch here. or keep reading below for the list of supplies and written instruction.


Let's get started!!
​

Supplies

(8x) 9" squares (medium/dark fabric)
(8x) 9" squares (light fabric)
Batting as needed
Backing fabric as needed
​Basic sewing and quilting notions


Directions

1. Prepare your fabric as instructed in the list of supplies above.
Picture
2. Lay fabric A right side up, then lay fabric B right side up.
3. With your rotary cutter, make the quadrant shape cut from lower left-ish corner to the top-ish right corner.
4. Swap the layout of the fabric just like shown below.
Picture
5. Mark the center point of panel 1 and panel 2 with your fabric marker (it doesn't have to be precise, just estimate).
Picture
6. Lay panel 1 and panel 2 right side together, match the center point mark, pin.
7. Sew, starting from the center point mark, down to the edge, then flip the fabric, go back to the center point mark then sew down to the opposite edge. Align the edges of the fabric as you sew, panel 1 might turn out a bit shorter, which is okay.
8. Press the seams towards panel 1
​9. Trim the block to measure 8" x 8"
10. Make 15 more blocks.
11. Layout your blocks as shown here.
Picture
12. Sew your quilt blocks together.
13. Layer with batting and backing fabric
14. Quilt as desired
15. Bind, add the hanging sleeve, enjoy.
