For #igquiltfest prompt #bindings, I think a quilt binding can really frame a piece. Here, for my #Heartbeatquilt I used a rainbow stripe that perfectly reflected the colors in the quilt, but also my inspiration for making it which was to send a message of love. For my #pepperminttwistquilt, the red and white striped binding also reflected my inspiration for the quilt, which was peppermint candies! The stripe was printed on the bias, which meant that I could get the bias look without the hassle of stretchy bias. Now I always look for stripe fabric printed on the bias because it's worth its wait in gold! #inquiringquilter @amyscreativeside #quiltbinding #biasbinding

Day four #igquiltfest and I'm sharing my patterns that are quick and easy to make! All are available or coming soon to my shop... #linkinprofile. First up is #Steppingstonesquilt, which can use a layer cake and jelly roll. The pink version shows how you can feature a big print instead. #Charmingsteppingstonesquilt is a mini version of #Steppingstonesquilt that uses charm packs. #Brickyardquilt is a modern quilt that features large negative spaces where you can highlight your quilting. Inspired by the Indy 500, you'll face to a quick finish with this one! Next up is #BerryCrossquilt, with large blocks and a ton of design possibilities! Finally, there is #Heartbeatquilt with its charming chevron design. Heartbeat was originally designed as a charity quilt, but you could give it to anyone who needs a little love. #inquiringquilter @amyscreativeside

For the #igquiltfest #recentlyfinished prompt, here are three recent finishes. All are original designs and patterns for all three will be available soon in my shop. First up is Heartbeat, which started as a charity project. Next is All You Need is Love, inspired by a collection of valentine fabrics. Finally, there's Berry Cross, inspired by a block I designed for the Cloud 9 Fabric hop. #linkinprofile #Heartbeatquilt #allyouneedislove #allyouneedislovequilt #BerryCrossQAL #berrycrossquilt #inquiringquilter @amyscreativeside
