Introducing Panache

fabric· finished quilts· my fabric· quilt pattern

10 Apr

Hi there!

It is my immense pleasure to share some fun news with you all!

Yes! I am a new designer for Robert Kaufman fabrics! See? There I am all official like on the RK website.

This is Panache, my first fabric collection. As you might expect, my fabric is playful and colorful, and mixed with the boldness of black and white. There are 6 different designs and 30 total fabrics in these bright, playful colors and bold black and whites.

It has been ridiculously fun to work with my own fabric. Any nervousness on my part completely disappeared when I received my sample yardage and began to sew. And though, I’m really excited to see what you guys make with it, Panache will ship to shops in October so we’ll have to wait a little bit. For now, here’s a glimpse of the quilts and projects I’ll be showing at Spring Quilt Market (May 19-21) in my schoolhouse and booth.

This is Feathered Stars, and it is a variation of a quilt I showed you last summer. Each layout is fat quarter friendly. This particular layout makes use of those killer black and white stripes. Feathered Star is made using a strip piecing technique which is a no muss no fuss, watch Netflix while you sew kinda pattern. It’s a lot of fun to make. Look for this pattern, which will include both layouts, later in Spring/Summer.

This is Cakewalk. Cakewalk will be a free pattern over at Robert Kaufman. Cakewalk is also a fat quarter friendly pattern. Once again, I just had to use those killer stripes to frame each star. This pattern is fun to make as well because you can cut out all the pieces and mix and match the colors in different ways, which I think gives it a vintage feel. Each star block kinda looks like a cake or pie plate, don’t you think? Yum!

Thank you so much for all the excitement and enthusiasm about Panache over on Instagram. Bruce Wayne the Wiener Dog is pretty darn excited too. 😉

P.S. I’ll share more projects with you right after quilt market in late May, so stay tuned!

    Love this line so much — but boo for having to wait until October!

    I’m making a quilt right now with the exact same block as the Cakewalk quilt! I found the block design in a book of fat quarter quilt blocks and am loving how it looks. The book I had uses templates, but I redid the construction with a combo of paper piecing and normal piecing. I’m really curious to see how yours is put together!

    • rebeccabryan says

      That’s so funny! Yes, it’s a old favorite, right?

      Thanks for your kind words!

I don’t know about you, but for me, quilting has n I don’t know about you, but for me, quilting has never been about just making quilts.

It’s about slow mornings, quiet time to myself, creating something with my hands, spending time doing something textile, not scrolling on the internet, spending more time creating and less time consuming...

And I think that’s exactly why so many people are being drawn to quilting today.

You want to get offline, learn something new, and have more quiet time that is just for you and your imagination. ✨

I think we could ALL use more of that in our lives, and if you want to give it a try, I’ve got a free class you can sign up for by commenting ‘FREE’ below. 💕

I’ve taught thousands of quilters over the last de I’ve taught thousands of quilters over the last decade, and I’ve been quilting myself for over 15 years, and this is what I’ve learned. ⬇️

What’s stopping you from quilting isn’t that you don’t want to do it. It’s because you have already convinced yourself of something before even giving it a fair shot. 

You’re probably thinking something like...

👉 “I don’t think I’m creative enough.”
👉 “It looks too complicated.”
👉 “I wouldn’t know where to start.”
👉 “I don’t have enough time.”
👉 “What if I spend all that money and I’m terrible at it?”
👉 “I’ve never been good at sewing.”

If any of those thoughts have crossed your mind, can I let you in on a little secret?

Almost every quilter I know started with one of those ideas in their head, including me. 🤫

The beautiful quilts you see today didn’t begin as beautiful quilts, they began as just an idea and a willingness to try.

Nobody sits down at a sewing machine and automatically knows how to quilt.

You learn by just doing it, sewing stitch by stitch, and every time you enter your sewing room, it gets a little bit easier, and you start to enjoy it more and more. 

If something has been holding you back from quilting, I invite you to take my free class where you have nothing to lose and so much to gain.

Comment ‘FREEZER’ if you want to take my free clas Comment ‘FREEZER’ if you want to take my free class and learn this amazing technique! 👇

Freezer paper piecing tip number eight is to press every seam right after sewing it. 
 
Don’t wait until later or until all of your blocks are done. Press those seams right away!

It might feel like it slows you down in the moment, but it actually saves you time (and frustration) later.

When you press as you go, your seams stay crisp, and your pieces lay flat, which makes lining everything up so much easier. You’re not fighting bulky seams or trying to “fix” things at the end. 🙌

Plus, pressing helps set the stitches and keeps your fabric from shifting as you build your block.

Think of it as part of the sewing process, not an extra step.

Your blocks will be flatter, sharper, and way more accurate… and your future self will thank you!

MAKE A TEST BLOCK!!! Please, I am begging you. 😅 MAKE A TEST BLOCK!!! Please, I am begging you. 😅

You’d think after 15 years of quilting I’d be able to skip it...

And every once in a while I convince myself that I don’t need a test block because I’ve made this block hundreds of times or my freezer paper piecing skills are good enough to skip it... 

And do you know what happens every time I convince myself that I don’t need a test block? 🙃

I almost always regret it and end up having a nice long date with Jack The Seam Ripper as a consequence. 

Learn from my mistakes so you don’t have to learn from your own and make the test block EVERY TIME!!!

Are you making test blocks? Tell me in the comments! ⤵️

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we’re nearing I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we’re nearing the final months of Dutch Summer! 🥹

Finished Dutch Summer Month 6 blocks are showing up in the Make Modern Triangles Club every day. We’re past the halfway point, and we’re really starting to stack up the blocks! Now that we’ve got a bunch of stacks of blocks, it’s such a fun time to play with arranging your blocks and see what your creativity comes up with. ✨

Once you get beyond the halfway point, you start the countdown to the BIG finish! 🎉

We’re feeling excited, motivated, and accomplished. We are covering some ground, folks! Swipe to see each month’s block so far, and drop a ‘DUTCH’ in the comments if you want to make your own! 💕
