Welcome to my stop on the Palisades Quilt Blog Hop, part of the Art Gallery Fabrics Stitched with Kimberly series. If you missed the previous free patterns and video tutorials, you can always catch up on the Fat Quarter Shop's YouTube channel.
The Boardwalk Delights collection is very well-conceived. The colors are luscious, the prints have a variety of scales, and there are two great text prints. There's a nice balance between focal prints and blenders too.
If you'd like to make a version with the fabrics I used, here's what you'll need:
A & B: Flavor of the Day
C: Twinkle Lights
D & Backing: Busy Beach
E & F: I Scream, You Scream
G: Ferris Wheel
H: Sprinkles
I: Ice Cream Shop
J: Candy Dots
K: Eat It All
Binding: Soda Straws

Thank you for coming by, and thanks to Fat Quarter Shop and Art Gallery Fabrics for making this event possible.
Because it's hard to get more summery than this quilt, I'm going to put it in the quilting category of the Hello Sunshine Contest at Quilts My Way.
To join in the fun, download the FREE pattern and check out the video tutorial.
To make things even easier, Fat Quarter Shop has a Pandalicious kit available.
Was it just me, or did your mind start playing Palisades Park when you heard the name of the quilt? Given this line of thought, it should come as no surprise that I chose Dana Willard's Boardwalk Delight collection for my version of the quilt.

The diagonal stripe of the Soda Straws print made it perfect for binding.
I do have one suggestion regarding the pattern. If you choose a directional print for Fabric A, it will end up going diagonally surrounding the center square. To avoid this issue, cut one 9 3/4" square rather than two 6 7/8" squares. I cut from corner to corner on the diagonal twice, resulting in four triangles.
Tisha Cavanaugh of Quilt Icing long-arm quilted my Palisades Quilt. As you can see, she did an incredible job. I can't say enough good things about her work. She takes non-local jobs, but I'd suggest contacting her soon so she can put you on her schedule.Check out the other stops on the hop to see some of my favorite bloggers and their interpretations of the Palisades Quilt:

You've done a beautiful job, thanks for all the tips re fabric choice!
ReplyDeleteWow - what a great quilt! Thanks for linking to WIPs Be Gone. I'm off to check out other variations.
ReplyDeleteThis is really a beautiful use of the fabric here! I have to agree that the black added so much to the overall effect, and it can be one of those fabric we wouldn't normally choose to pair with the others. Excellent arrangement!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and the quilting is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying my morning scroll through your most recent archived posts. This quilt is a real showstopper! The quilting is divine, and I love the photo shoot!
