Solana Patterns- Here Comes Backslash!

Backslash Quilt using Solana by Robin Pickens
There are rectangular pavers leading up to the front door so the sound of the UPS man with boxes and a dolly have a "Clunkity, clunkity" sound as the wheels drop into the open spaces between the pavers. I know that sound well around here and today it was the sound of PATTERNS ARRIVING!

There are three new patterns for the Solana group of fabrics and this one, BACKSLASH, was the last of the three to arrive from the printer! Tonight we will be bagging patterns while watching tv and tomorrow I will box up some orders going out. Of the three patterns, this one feels the quickest to do and I really like how much fun stuff  is in it due to all the print fabrics. It's a little bit of background, a lot of prints. 
Backslash Quilt in blues using Solana by Robin Pickens
 ThI've made Backslash in color stories- shown here in blues and yellows and one in coral, yellow and green. I liked the flow of movement I got with using a family of fabrics in consistent yardage cuts. This quilt is shown with 11 print fabrics. For the Lap size, you would use 1/3 yard cuts, for the Twin 1/2 yard cuts and for the Queen 3/4 yard cuts (plus background). This quilt can also be made with a Layer Cake. That gives it a busier, scrappier look but could be really fun too! The forward slash and backslash thin sashings on the angled blocks combined with the smaller/grouped in 4 half square triangle blocks provide lots of angles for your eye to travel around the quilt.

This quilt is suitable for more novice quilters or is great to use to showcase a lively group of fabrics together. I hope you have as much fun with Backslash as I did and that you will also check out my other Solana patterns of Simple Solstice and Fair and Square at my shop! (Solana ships to shops in October) Happy sewing!

Good Morning, Robin.

I saw a picture of your Backslash quilt in Solana fabric in a green colorway several months ago, but can't seem to locate it now. Do you have a picture you can send me, or tell me where I can find the green version.

I just finished the turquoise version and I love it.
Thank you,
Theresa Holzman

I purchased the Ab bundle with the sunflower panel because I loved the colors but I am new to quilting, do you have a pattern that uses the panel as well? Thank you

Hi Robin!

I discovered this pattern online and was NOT looking for a quilt project for a friend, but this one showed up and took root. So, here we are. LOL! I'm thrilled that it's an easy design.

I haven't yet purchased the pattern to see more detail beyond the fabric requirements you also shared. You commented in the blog above that a layer cake could be used. Could you please tell me if one layer cake is sufficient? Or, other than background of course, would any additional fabric be required to supplement?

Thank you!!
~Shannon
