Reverberance Quilt | Modern Quilt Pattern Featuring Joy Fabrics by Tamara Kate Design

February 20, 2018 by Shannon 4 Comments

Discover the Reverberance Quilt Pattern—a modern twist on the classic log cabin design. Perfect for showcasing your favorite large prints paired with solid colors for a bold, dramatic effect. Beginner-friendly and stylish!

I’m so excited to finally share the Reverberance quilt with you!

This project has been bringing me lots of joy ever since I got the first sneak peek at Tamara Kate Design’s gorgeous new collection back in early Fall. This one is aptly named Joy because it will absolutely bring you joy – joyful memories, joyful feelings – just pure joy!

To showcase these beautiful prints, I spent quite a bit of time thinking through a design. I got a little worried, as it didn’t immediately come to mind. But then, one day during a walk, it came to me!

The Reverberance quilt pattern is available for instant digital download.

Inspiration behind the quilt design

 I envisioned a large-scale log cabin, large enough to really highlight the details Tamara does such a great job featuring in her prints. However, I didn’t want those details to be lost with intricate cutting, but I also didn’t want the traditional log cabin to feel overwhelmed by prints. I wanted to enhance the prints and stunning colours featured in this collection and that’s when I thought about playing with another layer of scale. This time I focused on shrinking the size of two sides of the log cabin.

I could have gone with smaller sides and still kept the prints, but we love playing with fabric and colour and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to see how the colours would pop and play off another by introducing solids. These Michael Miller Cotton Couture Solids match perfectly with the Joy Collection.

And to make this an even more joyful project for you, the quilt is super quick and easy to piece. In no time flat you will have a 63″x63″ quilt top that has amazing visual impact! Quick, easy, and large enough to snuggle up on the sofa with – yes, please!

Machine and Hand Quilting for Added Texture

This quilt would have been done long ago if I hadn’t decided to add both machine and hand quilting details. For the machine quilting, I went with a 50wt Aurifil Thread in a dark grey. It matched perfectly to the backing!

Michael Miller Fabrics have an amazing hand feel and I wanted to enhance that with some big stitch hand quilting using pearl cotton thread in size 8 (here’s a shopping guide to help your source your own). Plus, the hand quilting adds another visual layer of texture that enhances the visual movement of the log cabin design.

The results are quilty tactile squishy yumminess!

Which I can attest to as I spent most of the holidays curled up on the couch snuggled under her while hand-quilting away. Talk about joyful times!

This modern quilt design is great for beginner quilters and showcases beautiful large prints alongside coordinating solids for a dramatic effect.

I knew immediately when I saw the collection lineup that I would be backing her in the Grandi Flora Gray print. This bold floral turned out to be the perfect counterpoint to the graphic design of the quilt top.

I said this when I worked with Tamara’s Frolic collection for my Spring is in the Air quilt (pattern available here), but she designs some of the BEST binding prints, and Whisp in Aqua didn’t disappoint!

Just look at this whimsical print!

Quilt Label

Of course, no quilt is complete without a custom handmade label (see the tutorial and get the free DIY pattern). Since the backing was so busy, I opted to go with some solids so that it would coordinate with the quilt but still stand out.

Pattern Testers Versions

What I love about the final design is that this play of colour and prints can be examined with any collection you have. I’m actually thinking of playing with just solids to see what visual effect that has. The options are truly endless, and I love how my pattern testers demonstrate that.

Traditional or modern, there is no right or wrong here. Both styles lend themselves nicely to the Reverberance quilt pattern. A few of my testers were concerned that their fabrics weren’t modern enough for me. But this is what I truly love about quilting – there is no right or wrong. Just because I tend to gravitate towards modern colours and prints, doesn’t mean that’s what you need to do.

Calm & Earthy – Melva Loves Scraps

Just look at Melva’s gorgeous deep earthy tones with jewel-like notes. That dusty rose immediately caught my eye. And she did an amazing job balancing and highlighting that with the muted browns and caramels. Plus, look at all the quilty texture she added!

Print Reversal – Village Bound Quilts

Tiffany from Village Bound Quilts reversed the prints vs. solids ratio for an amazing effect. Her quilt still has plenty of visual impact and your eye is drawn in to take a closer look at the prints she incorporated.

Florals & Plaid, Oh, my! – Flip & Co

Phillipa of Flip & Co chose some gloriously vibrant prints and solids. Doesn’t this just make you happy?! She had a great time matching her Meriwether prints featuring large and small florals and plaid with Kona solids. Just a stunning pairing.

Polka Dot Play – Frieda Tong

Frieda decided to limit her colourway to 2 main prints with a white background. The effect is stunning and really highlights the dimension in the quilt pattern.

Free Motion Whimsy – Dizzy Quilts

I love the deep saturated colours Izzy, of Dizzy Quilts, featured in her Reverberance quilt. And I adore the free motion quilting meander she added that is a perfect counterpoint to the geometric nature of the pattern. Just goes to show you, that there are so many ways to add your own personal touch to a quilt pattern!
