Looking for inspiration to get the creative process going for my blog this week I turned to google. I needed some ideas to start off my writing for the school themed patterns I wanted to highlight. I bounced around the internet and I landed on YouTube.. uh-oh. I’ve been down that rabbit hole before.
So I will now share with you what I found. 😊
A song written in 1907 called School Days (When We Were a Couple of Kids) …. The lyrics start like this:
School days, school days
Dear old Golden Rule days
‘Reading and ‘riting and ‘rithmetic
by Will Cobb and Gus Edwards
Interestingly enough… I have heard this song before. Not sure where or why though.
I continued on my journey (sidetrack) to a song by Chuck Berry! Same name (School Days) and I definitely know this one as I am sure most of you do too!
And then… I landed…. on this beauty…. 😂…. It has nothing to do with what I was looking for but gave me a great laugh this morning.
Hope you enjoyed my journey (sidetrack) as much as I did. And now we go onto the patterns!
Your kids (and Grandkids) will love these lap size pencil and crayon quilts! They are fun & vibrant. Great for snuggling under while doing homework and a great stash buster too!
You can purchase any of the above patterns on the QuiltWoman.com website- just click on the image. Most of the patterns as available as both paper patterns or instant downloads.
Wishing everyone a safe and happy school year filled with wonderful memories!
Happy Quilting!
One of the projects that I am working on this week (and probably next week!) is updating the Designer pages on the QuiltWoman.com website. Each of our designers have their own page which can be accessed by the drop-down menu on the left-hand side of our website. The designer pages have an “About” section that gives you a brief background of our designer, whether or not they are a teacher, links to websites, facebook pages, blogs, etc. The pages also have all of their patterns listed. Which means…….I have been browsing through more of our classic patterns!
This week I also opened up an email from Andover Fabrics. They were highlighting some of their new fabric collections that are coming out soon. Of course I had to look! And look! And look! I admit I got a little sidetracked on their website.
So between my project and the email from Andover Fabrics I found two patterns and a couple of fabric lines that I wanted to experiment with.
Here are the results:
This pattern is designed by Anne Wiens of Sweetgrass Creative Designs.
The image to the left is the original sample quilt.
The center is a fabric panel.. but could also be used to highlight a large print fabric. The pattern gives directions to make 3 sizes of quilts.
Finished Sizes:
Crib: 44″ x 56″
Lap: 55″ x 70″
Twin: 66″ x 84″
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner
Technique: Pieced
…….and here is my recolor for Prairie View
Fabric Line: Sunflowers and Honey by Kim Schaefer for Andover Fabrics (Available February 2022)
I love this collection. Bright and Cheery!
The panel in the Sunflowers and Honey collection fits nicely in the twin size quilt of the Prairie View pattern.
You can purchase the Prairie View Pattern by clicking this link.

Here is the second pattern I chose to recolor.
This pattern is designed by Bea Lee of Beaquilter.
The image on the left is the original sample quilt. I do love the yellows and grays in this quilt but wanted to play around with some other ideas and fabrics.
Put together 8 stunning fabrics with a solid and this quilt will look awesome.
Finished Size: 64″ x 84″
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner
Technique: Pieced
First I tried Splash of Color by Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts for Andover Fabrics. This fabric collection is going to be available in November 2021.
I picked all blues but the collection has some beautiful bright colors as well- watermelon, cherry, orchid, berries, teals, oranges, violets…etc… which would look stunning in this quilt as well.
I then tried the collection Flora and Fauna by Patty Sloniger for Andover Fabrics.
The large prints work well in this pattern.
You can purchase the Crazy Daisy Pattern by clicking this link

Hope you have enjoyed these quilt pattern recolors. Which is your favorite?
