 This latest finished flimsy of mine is all about the voile - Heather Ross' new Sleeping Porch voile that is! Her prints are busy, but I like the overall aesthetic. The whirl of flora and fauna reminds me of running through a field of wildflowers. All those warm yellows, peaches, and greens evoke hazy days, dusty yarrows and the buzz of cicadas. Plus, the moths - that purple print is my absolute favorite! I'd only sewn with voile once before, and searched for tips before I dove in. I ended up using a Micro-Tex needle and pinning like crazy, and despite how slippery it still seemed, almost all my seams matched up just fine. (But given the lazy summer afternoon of the fabric, I think a mismatched seam or two would kinda fit right in!) If you'd like to create your own summer sunshiny rainbow Meadow Walk throw, you'll find the PDF pattern via the Blueprint link below. If you make it, I'd love to see your finish - share with the hashtag #meadowwalkquilt so we can admire it! I'm waiting on some more voile to arrive to piece the backing and get this quilted. I'm thinking of using a silk batting and minimal quilting to keep with the airy, summer feel of the fabric. In the meantime, I'm curious: have you quilted with voile before? Do you have any good tips of your own to share for taming it under the needle?   Quilt flimsy stats: Finished size 60" x 60"

Such a pretty quilt! I wonder how this would work out if I used disappearing 9 patches rather than cutting the smallest squares and rectangles at the beginning?

That was my thought as well. I don't see any reason why it would not work.

This is lovely. This would be great for a collection of quilting cottons I have been saving. Thanks for sharing!

I'm wondering what the block size is? I would like to consider making this into a bedside project.

It looks like a Disappearing Nine Patch. However, the 8" center with a 4" side and top/bottom throws that idea out the window. It would be great for stash busting. Thanks for pdf. 2/7/2019 22:48:00
It says it is a free PDF pattern. When I click on the link, it sends me to my cart and charges me $4. How do I get the free PDF?

I wanted to copy a picture of this to remind me to make it soon, but it was not possible. Sorry if it gets forgotten in the excess of quilts in line. It's a cute quilt. 3/31/2018 10:49:12
I'm so glad you like my Meadow Walk quilt design, Shirley. I was unclear what you meant about not being able to save a picture of it, though? In the blog post there is a link to download the free pattern, which includes an image of the quilt, and there is a Pinterest link if you hover over any of the pictures. The images on my blog are always unlocked to be able to right click/save image, as well .If you need further assistance to save the picture, though, do let me know and I'll see what else I can do to assist you : )

Excellent point, Carol! Two years later when Craftsy changes to Blueprint lol. But thank you for reminding me to edit this post!
