Farmhouse Crossing Quilt

12/3/2018

Imagine light coming in through the windows of the farmhouse, dancing between the panes, glowing with the warmth of the sun and soft colors of growing things.

Simple one lane roads intersecting among golden fields and the colors of morning dawn.

The dandelions in Dandi Annie celebrate the simple pleasures, joined with prints of seeds blowing in the wind, sketchy plaid, and painted leaves. Growth and warmth.

I love the way the thin sashing plays from light to dark and extends into the borders. The gray borders add a calm grounding to the bright colors.

There is something so satisfying about making stacks of half square triangles and getting them ready to arrange in balanced symmetry. This quilt is arranged in four colorways of yellow, coral/pink, green and gray. Each color group surrounds an intersection of thin sashing.

For the backing I used Moda Bella Solids in Pesto. What a great green! I'm excited to get my bolts of Dandi Annie fabrics and I'll be kitting a limited number of these quilts in this fabric. But the pattern itself is available now on my online shop and would be fun to make with other fabrics too.

Dandi Annie is shipping from Moda now (December 2018). The quilts shown here were pieced by me, Robin Pickens, and longarm quilted by Sally Corona at Corona Quiltworks.

I just wanted to let you know about a mistake in this pattern. I’m currently working on this quilt, and on page 4, the 3 pictures at the top of the page do NOT match the layout in the next 2 (showing the mirror images). Some of the blocks are oriented differently, the colors are flipped medium/darks.

Hi Joanne,
I really appreciate it when people let me know about mistakes! Thanks for taking the time to let me know and hopefully this is another place people can see to know about the correction. Someone else had pointed it out to me and I've got a correction on my errata page of the website:
https://www.robinpickens.com/errata.html
and it shows what the diagrams SHOULD be! Thanks so much for also letting me know. I'm sorry for the trouble.
Robin

I had 4 blocks done when I discovered the mistake in page 4. Alot of seam ripping ahead of me but at least I feel a little better knowing it wasn’t my fault and couldn’t read the pattern correctly.

Blogging has helped with my mental health so much. Everything you said is true. It is an amazing outlet to get your creativity out there and to think through and understand the emotions you are feeling AND to kinda find a solution for them by doing research. I also love how supportive the blogging community is. I rarely ever feel alone. I definitely think talking about Mental Health is important and you do such a great job of that, Chloe!
