Hi friends,
Today I am excited to share with you my most recent finished quilt - the Sprout Wovens version of my Beads quilt pattern!
I shared a bit of the process making this quilt back in May on the blog - you can see more about it here.
Get a copy of the Beads PDF pattern or Printed pattern.
The Beads quilt was inspired by a favorite activity between my son Grey and I, making beaded friendship bracelets. This is a fun, modern quilt pattern for advanced beginner to intermediate quilters, or those who enjoy sewing a few curves.
The pattern is fat quarter and fat eighth friendly, or scrappy for a really fun look!
Sprout Wovens fabric information
When choosing a color palette for this particular quilt I knew that I wanted a beautiful soft fall look, in an ombrè type of flow.
I used Sprout Wovens by my friends at Fableism - a beautiful yarn-dyed woven fabric in earthy color palettes. You can find all of the colors listed below over at Cottoneer fabrics - fabrics link to the sprouts woven page.
Colors used:
For the blackground of the beads I used a Cream colored Kona solid to really let the colors of the wovens pop.
Quilting Details
Since the fabrics are woven and a bit more delicate than your everyday quilting cotton I decided to do a tighter quilting line on this particular quilt.
I kept my straight lines spaced at .5" - using the edge of my walking foot as a guide.
Cream thread worked well to really blend into the backing fabric and not be too out of place against each of the woven beads colors.

I had such a fun time going outside to take photos of this quilt - the leaves were a perfect match! I used my handy phone tripod to get some pics of the quilt while I was home alone - I found a new adjustable size with clicker that goes all the way to 6 ft tall - it's a life saver! You can find it here in my Amazon shop.
My sister in law also got married last weekend so I was able to grab a few shots at her beautiful wedding venue down in Martinsville, Indiana.
Thanks for stopping by the blog today! I am going to get this quilt all washed + dried and crinkly and list it in my shop soon - so keep a lookout if you are interested in giving it a loving home.
If you are looking to make your own beads quilt and need a few tips and tricks be sure to check out the sew along section on my website for links to the beads sew along that we had earlier in the year.
Happy sewing!
