I’m thrilled to share my newest quilt from Quilt Theory Pattern Company, available online for purchase for $3. Color Crossing features an ombre rainbow in one of my favorite, go-to block designs.
All you need for this pattern is 3 charm packs in your favorite colors, and the background fabric of your choice. I used Kona Cotton in the Sunset palette, which you can purchase from amazon, right here (affiliate link).
I quilted this design in a traditional orange peel, or pumpkin seed pattern. I’l be posting a video tutorial on quilting the orange peel pattern soon, so stay tuned.
Our goal at Quilt Theory is to create simple and modern quilt patterns, and we design collections of patterns printed on small cards and one-page PDFs. As a group, we have become a strong team as we worked through writing, testing, editing, and quilting the patterns in our collection.
For our second collection, we challenged ourselves to write patterns that utilize pre-cut bundles of fabric. We hope you find a lot of inspiration in our collection to make quilts from your favorite bundles in your stash.
How to Buy
Digital downloads of our PDF patterns are available now through our website QuiltTheory.com. Pattern cards coming soon to a local quilt shop near you! Please let your local quilt shop know you want them to carry Quilt Theory patterns.
Giveaway
To celebrate the launch of Quilt Theory, I am giving away a PDF copy of my pattern, Color Crossing. To sweeten the deal, I’ll also include 3 charm packs of Kona Cotton in the Sunset Palette that I used for this pattern.

This is a beautiful quilt. I like to sew with fabrics I get on sale. And if I can find Art Gallery on sale, I am especially pleased.
I like so many different lines that it is hard, but I do really like Soulful by Art Gallery Fabrics.
My favorite fabric to sew is Kona Cotton. I love the “feel” of the fabric and the colors-I want a collection of them all!

I love sewing with Robert Kaufman fabric.
I don’t really have a favorite–anything from my local quilt shop is a pleasure to sew with!
Lately I’ve been sewing a lot with Art Gallery. It hasn’t been a real conscious decision but their color combinations speak to me. I’ve made at least 6 quilts since Christmas where they were the majority of the fabrics.
I like most fabric– I like moda, freespirit and art gallery.. I haven’t sewn much w solids but, feel the need to start
I have some Kaffe Fassett fabrics that I am just about to use
I don’t really have a favorite fabric line. I tend to be very scrappy and mix many lines together. I really like this pattern.
Pretty much anything designed by Alison Glass can almost always be considered my favorite
I like Kona Cotton also, I usally buy the precuts.
I love Alison Glass Sunprints.
My favorite fabric line to sew with is Kona Cottons.
I love many lines of Fabric..Moda, Kona, Me & My Sister, ..can go on & on lol….I love whatever “grabs” me…and becomes my fave for the Moments… & yep..do save alllll my scraps! Love em all!! giggle…
Thak you for chance to win your Give-a-way! LOVE your Quilt!! 😀
Such a cute quilt! I love to sew with anything by Carolyn Friedlander. Her fabric always makes a project better. 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway.
I like so many fabrics it’s hard to choose. Right now, Alison Glass prints are my favorite. Thanks for sharing your beautiful quilt! The colors are gorgeous!
I really like all fabric but lately I adore Art Gallery fabrics. They feel wonderful. Anything with color like Tula makes me happy.
I really can’t pick just 1 favorite fabric line to sew with. I love so many! I do sew with a lot of Kona solids, & am especially fond of anything Kim Diehl.
I like to use Kona for background fabric and Moda is also great to work with.
I have many favorites but currently, it’s Kona!
Thank you!
Kona Cotton and Tula Pink are my favorite.
