Quilt it Modern Blog Tour

Welcome Modern Quilters!  Today is my day on the Riley Blake Quilt-it Modern blog tour.  

When Riley Blake asked if I had an idea for using their Confetti Cottons solids with Crayola colors I knew immediately what I wanted to make.  Solids are such a huge part of Modern Quilting and I wanted to create a project that was fun, easy, and screamed summer! What is more iconic in summer than a VW Camper Van?! 



So I created a pattern with a couple of options for you. The Beach Bus block is a foundation pieced pattern that can be made in either a 8" or 16" block.  The 8" block is perfect for the table runner I've shown here.

Or you could make the 16" block into a pillow as I've shown here.

If you're feeling ambitious you could turn the back of your pillow into the back of the beach bus!  Add a personalized license plate for extra fun!
  
Either way, you have a fun, easy summer project that's sure to brighten your home or patio.

The pattern for these projects is available here in my Craftsy shop.
