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

      April 12, 2017 at 10:50 am

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

      Thanks for your kind words!

I was ready to give up on foundation paper piecing I was ready to give up on foundation paper piecing altogether, and then I was introduced to freezer paper piecing, and it changed my whole world forever.

Let’s talk about Freezer Paper Piecing versus traditional Paper Foundation Piecing. 👇

The techniques are similar, both methods focus on precision and ease of assembly, but with Freezer Paper Piecing, you get to reuse your templates without turning them into confetti! 🎉 MAJOR WIN!

All you have to do is trace a few copies onto freezer paper or use printable sheets for your printer. It’s versatile, efficient, and saves you tons and tons of time.

🌟 The key benefits of freezer paper piecing: 🌟

👏 Reuse & Recycle: No more wasteful piles of ripped paper templates.
👏 Easy Removal: Templates peel off effortlessly, leaving your masterpiece intact.
👏 Versatility: From intricate designs to straightforward patterns, freezer paper can be used for any foundation.

WAY MORE TIME TO QUILT! 🙌

In all of my programs, we use the Freezer Paper Piecing method, and anyone can learn this, even first-time quilters! I’ve got a NEW block-of-the-month quilt design coming soon, so follow along if you’re looking for a faster and easier way to paper-piece! ✨

A couple of weeks ago, I picked my colors for next A couple of weeks ago, I picked my colors for next year’s “Starburst” Block of the Moth, and I had to laugh at myself because even though I started with a few pretty pinks and yellows as my inspiration...

I devolved back to rainbows for my final selection. I do love a rainbow gradient! So glorious, so delicious!

Honestly, sometimes it takes me several, several, several rounds to get the colors just how I want them. 😭  But the good news is, I do have the rainbow fabric on hand!

Now I can Netflix and sew... as I work on my Starburst sample! Hooray!

SWIPE to see the big finish, my completed Peppermi SWIPE to see the big finish, my completed Peppermint Twist Dutch Summer! 🤍

The joy really is in the journey with my Block of the Month programs, where every single month you make one block, sew your whole batch, and, month by month, start to see the design come together with each new block.

And that’s why ANYONE can make this quilt! Yes, even a first-timer! 

You don’t have to sit down and make an entire quilt all at once. You make one batch of blocks, then another, and another... You learn as you go, watch your skills develop, and slowly start seeing the whole quilt come together.

And then one day, all those individual triangles you’ve been making come together and you’ve made THIS. 🥹

I absolutely love how this Peppermint Twist version of Dutch Summer turned out, and seeing all of the blocks together makes me want to do the whole thing all over again in another color palette! 😂

If you want to make your own version of the Dutch Summer, comment ‘DUTCH’ and I’ll send you the details! 💌
