Pride Flag Quilt Top

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYBODY!!! I recently finished this pride flag quilt top, which I'll be displaying at my local pride event next week!

I wanted each block to be different and eye catching in its own way, so that you don't get bored looking at bland stripes. This project is a labor of love. I did the math on piecing nearly every block, save for the house block on the bottom right corner. That came from a book. I went through quite a struggle doing all the math to make the blocks that are split diagonally by color. Those were the ones that took me the longest to get through. The regular solid color rainbow blocks? I flew through those in two days, lol!

I'll share closeups below the cut:

I do have a favorite block, but I'll keep it a secret for now. Which one is yours?

After much struggle, I finally got a good picture of my pride quilt!!! The quilt top is an 86-inch (218 cm) square.

I really love how the quilt top came together! I didn't have a solid vision about which blocks I would use to complete this project. The binding fabric is going to the same batik used to frame out the LeMoyne Star blocks in each corner.

The majority of the border is made up of 12 inch Friendship Star blocks. I really fell in love with the Friendship Star block and will definitely use it again!

I will definitely be longarm quilting this project and just need to schedule a time to quilt it.

Progress on my pride quilt :)

It’s been a bit slow going because of the move but I’m nearly halfway through it as of now and all of my 64 patches are ready to assemble for the second half. I can’t wait to do a full write up about the process with this one because it’s meant a lot to me despite some of its imperfections

Getting back into this quilt while I have the energy.

My last guild meeting was a field trip to a local quilt shop and of course I had to buy something while I was there. A charm pack of bold rainbow batiks was right next to a remnant of this cool teal blender and I simply had to have them. After playing around, I decided on this rainbow bar graph pattern to let the colors shine.

I was originally going to do straight line quilting on this one, but a friend suggested something with circles to play off the batiks. After thinking I was try my hand at pebbles, I ended up switching gear and doing this extra loopy meander pattern with a variegated thread. It never ceases to amaze me that even the boldest of thread choices can fade to the background of a quilt.

This little lap quilt is destined for my (often cold) classroom.

Made August 2025, 40”x48”

On the last day of Pride month, I've finally finished my Pride project!

These two quilts were made for the Summer Mini Quilt Challenge following the facing prompt.  Since facing is a finishing technique, I could choose whatever design I wanted for the quilt tops.  I decided to go with a Pride theme, piecing my quilts with inspiration from the flags that represent my own identity!  I started with the Asexual Pride flag, and paired it with the Agender Pride flag!  I even managed to use one of my favourite blocks, the rail fence!

I ended up taking a more reproductive approach to the Ace flag, and a more abstract approach to the Agender flag.  Despite their differences, I think they make a great pair and I'm thrilled with how they came out! 

I'll be posting my research and details of the making process for these two quilts on Monday, so check back then to learn more!

Finished another non binary quilt! This was commissioned!

Still doing commissions for pride blankets (doesn’t have to just be non binary, can be any pride flag!), but note: I’m still a novice at quilting, however the money will be really helpful since I’m trying to move states.
