Patterns By Jen: Island Batik Getaway Hop ~ Oh Deer!
Welcome to my stop on the Getaway Blog Hop from Island Batik!
I'm excited to share my quilt with you using the amazingly gorgeous Oh Deer fabric line provided to me by Island Batik as part of their Ambassador program.
For this quilt I chose to use the Quick Curve Ruler from Sew Kind of Wonderful. I used their Fun Poinsettia pattern as inspiration. However I wanted to make it more "mine" and decided to use the units created to make subtle pinwheels.
This also gave me a chance to show off some of the larger prints, which definitely needed to be shown off.
Here is a very quick video on how I sew the curves.
This quilt finished at 60" square. I backed it with a soft, dark brown flannel as it will be headed to Montana soon.
This is my last post as an Island Batik Ambassador as I chose not to reapply this year. At the end of the blog post you will find a few giveaways to try your hand at. First, though, a look back at a few of my favorites as a 2018 Island Batik Ambassador.
Now for the fun stuff! If you follow me you know I don't like to have a lot of extra fabric around. I like my space clear and free for creativity. To help keep that up I'm giving away ALL of my leftovers and scraps from Island Batik. Say what?! It's true! I have two bundles to giveaway. The first has mostly 1/2 yard cuts in it and then a bag of scraps. The second has mostly 10" squares in it and a bunch of scraps. Scraps can be anything from 1" strips to 4" strips. All YOU have to do is answer the question (through Rafflecopter, not directly in the comments): What is your favorite color? Simple! The giveaway is open through February 6th to give everyone a chance to join. Due to different laws governing giveaways in different countries I have to limit this to US only. I'm so sorry.
Island Batik also has a giveaway going on. You can win a 20 piece fat quarter bundle. Go to their blog post and enter at the bottom. That giveaway ends on February 2nd.
I hope you have enjoyed the Oh Deer! Pinwheel quilt, as well as the look back at a few of my favorite Island Batik Ambassador makes.
A lovely quilt, Jen! Thanks for being a fellow ambassador this past year!
You had a great year as an Ambassador. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Absolutely beautiful quilts, Jen! I really enjoyed seeing all of them together as a collection.
You did a great job. I have the mini QCR and hope to get more practice with it soon. I ♥ orange.
Super design to show those fabrics off so well. And what a year with those past projects here for us to see/drool over/ and wonder about all over again.Thank you for those pics. Please leave me off the giveaway, as I am down in NZ, sweltering in the 30c and more, while so many of you are freezing in the cold.
Beautiful quilt Jen! You will be missed as an Island Batik Ambassador!
Love the quilt and that deer fabric. Thank you for a year of lovely batik creations. I love batiks and hope that these blog hops will get others to love them as well.
Your quilt came out awesome!

What fabulous quilts and yes, you will be missed as an ambassador!
Thanks for sharing your quilt projects with us. This one is the perfect choice for showing off the larger format prints. Love love love your November Challenge piece! Such rich colours!
Love the deer in this collection! Beautiful quilt, and it's fun to see your favorites from your time as an Ambassador.
Sorry you didn't go for another year. You are so talented. Great quilt.
Great post, and I'll miss you. You're quilts are always enjoyable.
What a perfect pattern for the beautiful batiks!!!
What a perfect quilt to showcase the Oh Dear line of Island Batik fabrics. So sorry to hear you are not going to be an Ambassador any longer but it was a great way for us to find you. Your favorited from this past year are stunning. Thank you for the eye candy.
lovely quilt. You had a good year as an IB Ambassador. Your quilts projects are very nice.
Your quilt is very striking; it showed off the deer designs beautifully! I now have another idea of how to use the QCR I received for my birthday last spring but haven't broken in yet.
Thanks for sharing the photos of your Island Batik Ambassador projects. I especially love your November log cabin. So very pretty.
The color combination in your quilt is stunning! Thanks for sharing this, and for all the inspiration that you provided as an ambassador. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next!
Your quilt is lovely. I am impressed with all the curved piecing. I have a quilt that I started some time ago that is waiting for me to get the courage to try to tackle it and finish it.
My favorite color is red, but I love a lot of different colors in my quilts.
Great quilt Jen. A great quilt to top off a year of beautiful creations. All the best with your ventures in the coming year.
