I mentioned yesterday that I was starting something new. Daughter #1 saw the IKEA Postcard Quilt by Jeliquilts on Instagram and loved it. You can see her blog post here. So I went on a bit of a search for the appropriate fabrics to make something similar for her. It won’t be the same. I love her quilt but this will be smaller and I am not using the same fabrics or arrangement. She does offer the free pattern on Craftsy here.
These were cut from this layer cake that I got from Missouri Star Quilt Company.
i used this die to cut my 3″ finished triangles.
And then the fun began.
This is definitely not a final arrangement, just a start to get them up on the wall. I am cutting a few solid scraps to add in here and there as well.
So that is my new WIP. Linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday and Sew Fresh Quilts for Let’s Bee Sewcial.

This will be a fun take on the IKEA Postcard Quilt. I can see why your daughter is interested.
So original and funny !!
It’s going to be such a bright, lively quilt! I can’t wait to see how you lay it out.
Your colours are great. Just popped over to check out the pattern…wow….might have to add this to my to-do list.
What a great pick me up quilt! So vibrant and fresh. Love all the solid brightness. This is going to be a super fun quilt, Katy!
This is great! I love what you’ve done with the layer cake.
Brilliant use of a layer cake. The colours are wonderful! Maybe it’s one of those quilts that can be truly random – no need to spend ages moving pieces around to make it look random (in a balanced sort of way!).
Love the layout and the bright colours, it’s going to be a really fun quilt! Ikea is surprisingly good for quilt inspiration – I have a design brewing that’s based on a small picture of lots of multicoloured X’s that I saw last time I was there.
It’s gonna be beautiful! So bright and cheerful.
I like all the color! It’s always hard to decide on a finished arrangement when there’s so many different fabrics. Good luck!
What FUN colors!! I can’t wait to see the finished product. 🙂
I’m a sucker for a bright quilt! And HST’s! Its going to be gorgeous!
beautiful!! i just got the go big as a birthday gift and I’m loving it!! I’ve been working on the tumblers
I love the colors, it will be beautiful!
This will be gorgeous. Such a trick to get the color placement where you want it. Really pretty so far tho!
Gorgeous colours – looking forward to seeing where you end up with this!
love all the color
Lots of great color here! I think playing with the composition is more fun than anything.
