Adelyn Kay Quilt- The Speckled One

Introducing the speckled Adelyn Kay Quilt..

The Adelyn Kay quilt pattern is a modern, block based pattern perfect for the confident beginner. This particular quilt is the large throw version, measuring 70″ x 70″ and made using Ruby Star Specked fabrics and a spot of Dear Stella florals.

We took this gorgeous quilt out for a walk about town and thought it looked right at home next to this groovy mural! Read about the artist here.

I love taking quilts out in the wild for photo shoots. I always wonder what the people driving by think. I’m sure it’s only pure admiration! 😛

Piecing

The wonderful thing about this pattern is it uses simple half square triangles to create a block that looks complicated and intricate, but truly is very easy to assemble. In fact I’ve included two different ways to assemble the blocks based on your preferences and feedback from my pattern testers.

Along with multiple assembly options this pattern includes diagrams and methods such as the magic 8 and strip piecing to create quick work of all of the half square triangles this pattern requires.

I just think it is so important to add whatever I can to my patterns to help beginners learn techniques that will speed up their quilting process while also helping to maintain accuracy. I hope to do that with this pattern by including instructions on how to use these methods to create this quilt.

The Adelyn Kay Quilt pattern was written with three different sizes in mind. The baby size features nine blocks with a finished size of 42″ x 42″. The small throw size features 16 blocks with a finished size of 56″ x 56″. Finally the large throw size features 25 blocks with a finished size of 70″ x 70″. Each size comes with cutting and assembly instructions.

Fabric

As mentioned before, this quilt is mostly made up of Ruby Star Society Speckled designed by Rashida Coleman Hale. I also threw in a bit of Dear Stella floral for good measure.

Quilting

This quilt was custom quilted by the very talented @kellyannquilts. I am so lucky she lives so close and has become a good friend of mine. I love dropping off quilts and catching up with her. She does amazing work with her APQS Millie. Here are some other quilts she has custom quilted for me.
