Lollipop Garden {The Projects}

quilts made in Lollipop Garden by Lella Boutique for Moda Fabrics.

Time for a new batch of quilts using Lollipop Garden fabric. These are full of sugar, spice, and everything nice! Which quilt project will be your new favorite?

BLING

Bling fat eighth or fat quarter geometric quilt pattern by Lella Boutique. Fabric is Lollipop Garden by Lella Boutique for Moda Fabrics.

This pattern came about because of Moda Blockheads– a fun block-of-the-week program featuring free blocks from Moda designers such as myself. This is a modified version of my Impact block from that. Make this quilt with fat eighths or fat quarters, then set it on point with side/corner triangles in your favorite accent color. (I’ve used an aqua print from the collection.)

Marion Bott quilted everything this time around and she did a fabulous job. She has an amazing eye for picking out the perfect pantograph and scaling it densely–just how I like it! 

MINI OPEN HEART PIN CUSHION

This is my first pattern using mini charm packs… about time! If you’re like me, I’ve collected oodles of those sweet little mini charm packs over the years, but never really knew what to use them for. This 4” version of my Open Heart block really fit the bill. One of my favorite things about this project is that 1 mini charm pack will make 3 pin cushions (including a scrappy patchwork back!). It’s also fun to challenge yourself and make something with teeny pieces like this. Gives one bragging rights, don’t you think?

BUTTERFLY PATCH

This one was inspired by my Social Butterfly pattern–still one of my bestselling pattern since its release back in early 2015. This time around, I’ve enlarged that sweet butterfly shape and filled it in with beginner-level blocks for a sampler-sort of feel. This one was very quick to put together and is made with 1 Layer Cake of Lollipop Garden fabric. Moda will be offering this in a special boxed kit.

DIAMOND DUST

Lately, I have been absolutely smitten with teeny tiny pieces. There is something just wonderful about the feeling you get after making something with small pieces.  This is my favorite quilt of the bunch, and the smallest of squares in this finish at 1/2”. They key with this one is paying attention to the seam allowance (for consistency) and pressing the seams carefully. (I use a lot of steam so I took care to handle it minimally so it wouldn’t warp.) But just look at that quilting! I’m smitten.

Diamond Dust can be made with 2 charm packs. Or 6 mini charm packs. Or 9 fat eighths. Or scraps. Choose anything you’d like really. Your precuts don’t even need to be of the same collection as this design does not rely on that. You can also choose to do an all-white background like I did, or opt for a fun checkerboard design using a favorite print. I haven’t made a checkerboard one yet, but it’s definitely in the plan. I’m thinking it could be a super cute boy quilt if I stick to just boyish colors. What do you think?

SQUARE DANCE

This one makes me think of the scrappy quilts I used to see at Grandma’s house when I was young.  It’s funny how quilting has changed–we buy yardage now, but Grandma’s quilts would carry bits of old aprons or dresses. Whatever they could find, really. Square Dance has a similar hodgepodge sort of charm and is made with 1 Jelly Roll.
