Hi friends!
How are you doing with your Luminous quilt? I have seen some pictures of your blocks and I am so impressed with what you all are doing!
My new Luminous Quilt
Today Tammy and I want to share with you our NEW versions of Luminous! Back when we started our quilt, we knew we were going to want to make the quilts in our new fabrics lines.
My new quilt is made in my new Signature line from Island Batik called Tiki Punch, designed for me by Kathy Engle. It will be in stores in November.
I love how the quilt came out!
We continued with our color stories- my version stayed as the Dawn coloration with a light background representing the pale light in the dawn sky, with the stars still visible before the sun fully rises.
The Tiki Punch fabrics have a richness to them- with vibrant yellow and golds, rich reds and bright green.
Tammy designed a line of fabric for Island Batik called Just My Type and it will be in stores in November. And she made her quilt in those fabrics. Click here to go to her blog post to see her version. Tammy’s quilt was done as the Dusk version.
Bonus Quilting Giveaway
Remember today is the last day you can get the Luminous individual block patterns or the full pattern as a PDF at the introductory price. After today, the individual block patterns will no longer be available and the full pattern will only be available as a paper pattern.
As a special gift to celebrate getting this far, we decided to offer a free bonus pattern!
The pattern for this fun table runner is available now, but only throughout Sunday May 17th. Click here to get the free bonus quilt pattern!
You will need the Block 1 and Block 3 block patterns to be able to make the blocks in the table runner- the runner pattern tells you how to put them together.

Renee,
Baby quilts are so fun to make! congratulations to your niece!
I have several projects going on right now. I guess the main one I am working on is a quilt I am designing for my daughter. Thank you for the table runner pattern.
I am working on the “California” mystery quilt from Edyta Sitar–going well!
I really like your star blocks and both versions of the quilt–Beautiful!!
Thanks Barb!
The mystery quilt sounds fun- she does lovely work!
I just finished a table topper, also working on Lori Holt’s Autumn Love quilt.
Linda,
Always nice to be able to check one off the list!
I am reorganizing my sewing room
Sandy,
I will say it feels good to have it more organized. For me, the big question is, how long will it last?
your quilt is lovey
Thank you!
I am very happy with how it came out.
Right now I am trying to organize my quilt room.
Carol,
On ongoing struggle for me! I was just thinking- how long will my new organized room stay that way?
Thanks for the table runner pattern – love it! I am currently working on trying to get my “pile” of quilts – quilted. Slow but sure, I am making it thru the “pile”. I also have 2 table toppers that I need to piece. They are for a monthly table runners club that I belong to.
Donna,
That sounds like fun- a monthly runner club. Do-able size projects!
i am making a quilt of valor for my brother who served in the army as both enlisted and officer in the eighties.
Carolyn,
I am sure it will be beautiful! You do such amazing work.
Kate, Luminous is a gorgeous pattern and it really does seem like stars before the sun goes down! I am currently working on a smaller project and almost finished. I’ve made individual, personalized mug rugs for my school-teacher friends who I miss so much! They are paper pieced in their favorite colors and will be mailed out this week. I’m sending along a sweet note to let them know how blessed I am to have their friendship.
