This wall hanging is my second pattern for
Oakshott fabrics, using the Impressions fat eighth bundle. (You can find the first pattern, Spring Quarter,
here.)
Marmalade Fabrics has just a couple of Impressions bundles left in stock. Choose you favorite eight colors from the bundle to create the quilt.
This 36 x 25 quilt was inspired by sheets hanging out to dry - the way the light shining through changes the colors as the sheets overlap, the layers and shapes that appear when some sheets are in front of others hanging behind them.
The layers and depth in the quilt are easy to create with the lovely shimmer of Oakshott shot cottons and my detailed pattern with digital illustrations. I'm pleased to make it a free downloadable PDF. You can
find the free pattern here.
The pattern is written so that you may choose your own colors and fabrics for each section of the quilt. Play around with colors to create transparency by changing colors where the shapes overlap, as I did with the blue and yellow rectangles. For those who might want to recreate the quilt as shown, here is a color guide.
As always, I would love to see your On the Line quilt. You are welcome to add photos to the
teaginny designs flickr group, or tag me on Instagram

This is just lovely. I have just bought some Oakshotts and was wondering what neutral fabric did you use? I can't wait to chop into these beautiful fabrics but at the same time I think I may have a little cry when I do - they are just too pretty!
