Diva

Do you remember Diva?



Designed in EQ8, Diva was published in Make Modern Issue 58. Now, she is available as a standalone pattern in my Etsy Shop.




I made Diva using the Vintage Charm collection, combined with Island Batik Solids in Red, Orange, Yellow and Fuchsia. The focus fabric strip sets were scraps leftover from making Kashvi, but there is nothing scrappy about Diva!



Finishing at 51" by 68" she glides in royal splendor. And although you may think that she is set in her ways, she is very adaptable. I encourage you to take a look at the various color options.



I quilted with my trusted walking foot using my favorite squiggly stitch. The binding is Island Batik Solid Fuchsia.




Some of you are likely to believe that she may be extravagant and she does look resplendent in those rich colors. But the truth is that Diva is very affordable. The pattern is $10 and is available at a 25% discount till September 3, 2024. If you act quickly she can be yours for under $8!!!




In fact, Diva is so persuasive that all patterns in my Etsy Store are 25% off on account of Labor Day Sale. But wait there is more. Two lucky winners can get Diva Quilt Pattern for free. Just leave me a comment on this blogpost, making sure that I have a way to reach you. I will pick the winners next week.

Update - The two winners are Comments #8 and #19. Emails have been sent.

  4. Diva is a great pattern, and I love all of that negative space between the grid structure. This would be a nice, quick quilt top to put together for custom quilting practice, too.

  12. I love your color choices on your Diva quilt. One question as a Janome user also, why are you using the regular presser foot when finishing attaching your binding to the front of your quilt? Is there a reason you aren’t using a walking foot? Just curious as your bindings always look so perfect. I use the walking foot for this step and have trouble at the corners that I think are due to the bulkiness of the foot. I’ve watched your pattern development over the years and love all of them and the stories that goes with them!

  14. The colors just glow! It's fun to make the solids the main blocks and the the prints be the sashing. Usually, the designs work it the other way.
