I just finished up this Busy City baby quilt. I made it to be a shop sample. With just five bocks, it really is very quick to make. You can customize the quilt by choosing which five, of the 35 total blocks, you want to use.
I experimented with using small scale, tone on tone prints, instead of all solids. I like the texture the grass print adds to the quilt. And look at the cute little star on the police car!
I had some fun with the quilting, which I did free motion. The negative space in this pattern gives you some room to play.
I'm seeing
Busy City patterns pop up in more and more shops. You can now find it at and
i don't do dishes on etsy and coming soon to
Marmalade and
Shop Cucire. It is still available at
Pink Chalk,
Hyggeligt and our local stores Bernina on Metcalf and Sarah's in Lawrence. Feel free to ask for Empty Bobbin patterns at your local quilt shop, if they don't already carry them.
Update: Busy City is now available as a digital download. Purchase the PDF from Empty Bobbin here.
