The Red Fort of Agra was the first modern quilt I ever designed. For this reason it holds a special place in my heart. The Red Fort of Agra can be tapered down to a simplistic look, or it can easily have a fun and crazy look. It all just depends on what look you want and what fabrics you love. Take a look at my versions of this beginner friendly, modern quilt pattern.
Hey there! Today I'm talking all about my modern quilt pattern, The Taj. You know, like the Taj Mahal. More about the name and inspiration later... But let me just say The Taj is a block based quilt pattern which uses fat quarters and comes in two variations. This modern design looks great in solid fabrics, like the quilt I'm featuring today, or patterned fabrics. With 5 size options The Taj packs a punch.
Today I am excited to share all about my new modern quilt pattern, the Taj! This contemporary, block based quilt pattern comes in two variations and looks great in solid or print fabrics. The Taj uses fat quarters, so it's easy to grab your favorite fabrics and get sewing.
I admit, Red Fort of Agra is a strange name for a modern quilt pattern. But my patterns are usually inspired by someplace I have traveled to and this modern, block based quilt pattern is no exception. Red Fort of Agra is a fun, pattern for the beginning quilter. It's even jelly roll, fat eighth and fat quarter friendly.
Old Muscat Souq is my modern quilt pattern inspired by a trip to the country of Oman. This block based quilt pattern uses fat quarters to create a fresh, modern quilt. The Old Muscat Souq is also great for showing off those large scale prints in the center of each block while highlighting them with a bold fabric.
The Stepwell quilt pattern is a modern quilt pattern inspired by the famous stepwells of India and Pakistan. This quilt uses yardage, from two different fabrics, to mimic these incredible ancient structures. The Stepwell quilt is an elegant quilt design with a timeless feel.
Little Three Creeks is a modern quilt pattern inspired by a family hike from my childhood. This pattern is more of a minimalist take on the mountain range. I especially love the mirrored mountains on the bottom, which means no matter which way you hold it, it's the right way up. This version of the quilt was my first attempt at this design. I had roughly drawn up a design in summer 2020 while we were hiking every week in Central Oregon.
Red Fort of Agra is probably my favorite modern quilt pattern. I have made it the most times, by a lot. It is also the pattern I used for hosting my first quilt along. Art Gallery Fabrics sponsored the quilt along by allowing me to use their new fabric line, Pollinate, to make my Red Fort of Agra quilt. They also gave a fat quarter bundle of Pollinate to one lucky winner from the quilt along.
Week 7 is here and it's all about catching up this week. If you missed a week or are a bit behind, no sweat, you have this week to finish all those blocks. By the end of this week you should have all 20 blocks done. Although, I know some of you are making different sizes, so in that case it's time to finish up.
The Old Muscat Souq quilt pattern is a modern quilt pattern inspired by a family trip to Oman. I was so inspired on this trip by all the beautiful shapes and designs I saw built into walls, buildings and Mosques. You can read all about the inspiration and see some pictures here.
Week four here we go! Last week we were to make 5 Red Fort of Agra quilt blocks. But I have a hunch that some of you couldn't stop at 5. These are super hard to stop making once you start. I love seeing how each block comes together a little differently than the last.
