Pattern Release: Excavator Quilt

My latest pattern #Excavator Quilt is now available in my Etsy shop (grab your copy here!)

This pattern was born out of a need to make a quilt that would appeal to my brother! I used BasicGrey’s Grunge fabrics from Moda Fabrics because it has the perfect “constructiony” feel to me. The pattern includes images from the original quilt using orange, tan, black and grey Grunge fabrics. I also recently made another version using yellow, cream, black and grey Grunge fabrics too that is currently at the longarmers!

The pattern offers fabric requirements for scraps and for yardage. As a pixelated quilt, scraps will add another dimension and give you a unique texture. You can also take a minute to read more about the inspiration behind this quilt.

The pattern is for a 76” x 60” quilt – when you orient it to display the excavator. You can turn it while
snuggling for maximum length use. As I do with all my patterns, I encourage you to customize it to make it your own!

I’d love to hear your feedback and see how you make this quilt, so make sure to use #ExcavatorQuilt and tag @maeberrysquare on Instagram. And if you’re interested in carrying my patterns in your shop, drop me a note!

Purchase Excavator quilt pattern.

A short simplified version of what I shared is that transparency is the ability to see through layer(s) of an object. It can be real or implied. So in quilting, you can use fabric color choices to make implied transparency. The most basic way to achieve transparency, in my opinion, is to choose dark, medium and light values of one color. Understanding color structure is important, but being a master of it is not required to play around with transparency. For example, if a grey fabric has a lot of cool color blue undertones, then you have to be cognizant of how that specific fabric color plays with other colors. Also, it’s important to realize that while many colors are available in fabrics, it’s
