I’ve been using up my Architextures fabric, bit by bit, in just about every project I’ve made this year, so I decided that I should finally make my Architextures quilt, before I use up all the fabric!
I designed this on Sunday:
Cut it out Monday:
And finished up the top on Tuesday:
The top measures 60″x 80″ and I used ALMOST every Architextures print. I am going to use the last two on the binding and back. I don’t think I’ve ever loved a fabric line this much. I am going to cry and observe a moment of silence when I use it all up.
I like to design the quilt first and decide how (and if) it can be made later. I’m often not even sure if my design will work, as I’m drawing it, but this one turned out to be super simple (though it doesn’t look it). I’ll post a free pattern once I work out a few kinks!
Here was my original 3-color design, and I think that would make a pretty cool quilt, too!

Linking up with WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced
that looks great Janice! 🙂
Such a fun pattern; i am looking forward to seeing what you name it. I love Architextures too and now you will always enjoy it in this quilt!! Great job!
Wow. That is a pretty cool quilt. Just as modern and graphic as the fabric line, which is one of my favourites, too. At the moment I’m hoarding my stash of Architextures and use only small bits of it because I will be so sad when it’s all gone.
I can’t believe how quickly you put this all together! It looks fantastic – so striking!
I’ll observe with you. Great quilt design. I like the extra horizontal strip a you added on the top left.
I’m embarrassed to admit that I hadn’t come across the architextures range before, but they are beautiful. I love what you’ve done to showcase them – and really impressed at how quickly you made the quilt!
Wonderful quilt. And I adore the Architexture prints too, they are gorgeous. You have really done them justice.
Stunning! I love Architextures too – I’m hoarding it! I can’t believe how speedy you are.
This is a lovely quilt and I agree that the green one would be interesting as well!
Wow! Really like where you’ve gone with this. The design really suits architextures!
Great quilt design! I like the way the lines turn and appear to overlap. There is a lot of motion and interest in you quilt:)
This is a great design – Love it. I can’t wait to see the final quilt and how you quilt it. I do think it would look amazing all in solids too 🙂 Nice Job
This is a fun pattern, perfect for the fabrics.
That turned out really cute. I want to make one similar. I love the 3 rail fence look:)
Looks Great! Can’t wait!
Such a great pattern you created, and I am with you in the love of Architextures. It is the only line that I have 1/2 or more cuts of almost all of the fabrics.
Very cool. I believe I see mitred corners? Great finish : )
Really cool design Janice. Love it!
This quilt is so cool! Would love to try it when you post the pattern.
So gorgeous! I really like the geometric-ness of your pattern and it works with that fabric perfectly.
LOVE. IT. Very nice!
So cool! I am stunned how fast you put it together! Awesome!
Wow. This is so cool. I love this fabric line and love how you have used it.
that is an AWESOME design!!! I think I would love to give it a go! I will keep my eyes out for a pattern!
I am stopping by from the WIP hop, hop on by if you can http://domesticdeficitdisorder.blogspot.com/2013/07/wip-wednesday-july-3rd-edition.html
This is an amazing quilt top!
What a clever quilt, I can’t begin to work out how you did that. Those fabrics are so lovely and the quilt design really complements them. I am really looking forward to the tutorial to see how this is done.
You did an amazing job with the pattern. I love the sense of movement that there is in the quilt.
Fabulous quilt! Looks great in those fabrics.
Very nice! It looks really complicated. You are fast.
What a great design idea and the reality turned out great.
Perfection, in both the pattern and the fabrics!
Just gorgeous!
like it!!!
Could i ask what program you use to create the quilt in?
That is such a great quilt. It is so fun to see your process – and how your original design turned into the finished project.
Love it! What do you use for your quilt designing? EQ7, excel, graph paper? LOL I love the way you’ve used just a general color scheme so what it looks like still ends up being a surprise.
So cool! What made you miter some of the turns instead of straight? Just curious if it was design or another reason. Looks very nice like that. I would never have thought of that. It sure is great fabric:)
I watched you put this together on IG last week (when I was on vacation) and I am floored! You moved quick on this one. What an incredible project, and a very worthy use of Architextures. You’re inspiring me to push myself to do a little more of my own quilt designing.
