Create Joy Quilt Pattern... the cover quilt

It’s hard to imagine the end of the year is quickly approaching. Which means Christmas is right around the corner and thinking about presents is currently on my mind.

While brainstorming gift ideas I couldn’t help but reminisce about presents I’ve received over the years. When growing up my grandmother, Grandnan, gifted me with art supplies every Christmas.

Whether it was a classic box of Crayons or the latest and greatest markers on the market. A box of art supplies was surely under the Christmas tree just waiting to be bust open to create joy with.

Hence my new quilt pattern, Create Joy, a colored pencil themed quilt. Because who doesn’t love a new box of colored pencils? The pleasure of opening the nice metal tins, smelling their distinct smell, and having perfectly sharp pencil points always brings me joy.

But it goes beyond that… Create Joy is about letting your mind and creativity run wild and free. Getting expressive, being adventurous and imaginative. Whether you’re sketching out your own design, doodling, or coloring in a coloring book, I hope those pleasures bring you joy.

When it comes to selecting your own Create Joy Quilt colors, grab a handful of your favorite hues, or go classic colored pencil box style. For this cover version I used Moda Bella solids, all listed inside the pattern. With 24 different fabric colors to choose from, the possibilities are endless!

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your favorite colors, unleash your inner artist with those colored pencils, and go Create Joy! The Create Joy Quilt Pattern is a traditional pieced pattern that is great for a confident beginner, and makes a nice throw sized quilt at 52x58”.
