I was recently unpacking from my latest quilty travels and as I was putting my quilts away, I realized I’ve made 5 different versions of the same quilt. How does that even happen?? LOL!! So today I thought it would be fun to share all of them together in one post, plus a few more bonus ideas!!

The original version of Bling shown above was created for a magazine and originally came in one size only. I made it to showcase an earlier fabric line that’s now out of print and wanted to quilt it fairly quickly with a simple wavy walking foot grid design.

As I was designing this quilt I started playing around with different layouts and fabric placement. I love the version below which I call “Trinket Boxes.” I haven’t made it….yet, but it’s still on my “to make” list one day!!

Once the pattern rights reverted back to me, I created a version of my Bling pattern that now includes multiple sizes. This time I made two more versions of Bling to showcase another colorful fabric collection I had designed. I wanted to demonstrate how the same bright fabrics can pop against either a very dark OR very light background as shown below:

With the release of the stand-alone quilt pattern, I also include a few alternate layout ideas. I love how the same design can look so different, just by rotating all the blocks! All of the images below are included in the current version of this pattern.

I was really intrigued by the Hashtags layout above. Next, I wanted to explore how it could look if the colors were a little more unified rather than completely random. So when it was time to release my Black, White & Bright collection, I made a 4th version where all of the hashtags were made from the same fabric in each block. I also went scrappy in for the backgrounds, too.

When people see this version, they can’t believe it’s the exact same pattern!!

Finally, I made a 5th version of Bling to showcase my Stitchy fabric collection. I kept the look of the scrappy backgrounds and even made a video showing how I machine quilted it with fun decorative machine stitches. Click the image below to watch the video:

After making all these quilts, I’m still not tired of this design!!

While supplies last, I have kits available to make the Black White & Bright Hashtags version above, or either of the bright pastel Stitchy versions below.

If you make any of these versions – or even one inspired by them, do let me know!
