Putting this one together was so much fun. I love blues and greens and this pattern is quick and fun to put together (I promise, there isn't a single y-seam in this quilt).
Edited: I got a better photo and replaced the old one. Yay! Hopefully someday I will get proper photos of this (slightly wrinkly) quilt, but in the meantime, this is all I could manage. We are due for about a week of rain and I didn't want to wait another week to share this one!
The fabrics in this quilt are all Michael Miller Cotton Couture. Their blues and greens and blue/greens are my absolute favorite of any solid brand, in particular Mermaid and Bottle. They are SO GOOD!
Now I think I need to make this pattern again in purples, pinks, and oranges. This is actually my favorite of any pattern I have ever written (and it's also my most popular pattern). I love that it works with just about any fabric.
If you make your own version of this pattern, please tag me on Instagram and use the hashtag #thetessaquilt! You can pick up a copy in the shop.
Really lovely! I love it in these cool solids. And for the record, my garage door has helped me out numerous times! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! That garage door is really not quite the same, but it works in a pinch :)
DeleteTessa in solids looks wonderful!! I've still got to trim the edges and finish my batik version of Tessa...maybe before Xmas?!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good goal! I did a little tutorial on trimming Tessa in my Instagram story highlights if you are feeling apprehensive about it!
DeleteHi there! I'm wondering if the Tessa Quilt pattern is fat quarter friendly? I purchased Valori Wells Murmur collection; 24 fat quarters, that I would like to use. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, it isn't fat quarter friendly. You can use fat quarters for all but 2 of the fabrics for the baby size, but the lap sizes uses 8 fat quarters and 6 half yard cuts, plus the sashing, background, etc. I tried to make it fat quarter friendly but it just didn't work! If you click on the link below you can see the fabric requirements. You can use a fat quarter for anything that is listed as 1/4 yard.

Erica, I'd love to make this version of Tessa for the Quarantine-Along! Is it possible to tell me the names of the various colors that you used for the solid version? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis is what I have written down in my notes and I am pretty sure this is correct - there might be an extra color or two listed here. I wish I had listed them in the post! All of the colors are Michael Miller Cotton Couture.
