Lume - A Simple Pattern for Color Play

Wow, it’s really been a while since I last wrote and shared my thoughts in a blog post. Back in May, I dove into the exciting process of crafting another quilt pattern, which turned out to be much easier the second time around compared to my first attempt. Since I adore the look of a simple quilt that prominently features vibrant colors or playful prints as the main focus, I decided to put my spin on a version of a traditional block known as Jacob’s Ladder. My unique version of this classic block creatively combines a four-patch block with delightful half-square triangles. Using fabric solids and various prints can truly bring so much rich texture and visual interest to a quilt. A few of my talented pattern testers opted to use prints for their creations, and I must say, their quilts turned out absolutely beautifully!

The dimension and interest of using various shades of blues and vibrant greens and the contrast of the fresh white and soft light blue in the triangles create fun ways to play with color. Honestly, any carefully chosen palette would combine beautifully to make a stunning quilt.

Here is another example of how various color combinations and creative color play can dramatically change a quilt's look and feel.

I combined grey and purple triangles for a striking contrast that enhances the quilt's visual appeal.

I added an easy way to make four-square blocks in the fun Lume Quilt Pattern, which speeds up the process and makes it more enjoyable. I've also been working on video tutorials for my latest Pinery Pillow Pattern design. Plus, I plan to create a new tutorial section that will be easy for everyone to access, so stay tuned for updates!
