Our best-selling online course is back and better than ever! APQS Longarm Certification Sponsored by Quilting Daily has been revised and updated. Not only will you learn how to make beautiful quilts, you’ll also gain skills to turn your passion into a paycheck with tips on how to run your own quilting business.

On this episode of Love of Quilting, Angela Huffman and Sara Gallegos take direction from dyeing techniques! The jewel-like quilt design is inspired by Asian ikat dyeing, and the colors take advantage of ombre fabrics. Constructed with paper piecing and finished with freemotion quilting, Sapphire Ikat is a to-dye-for quilt!

Angela’s quilt is based on a pattern by Rebbecca Smith, called Emerald Ikat which we originally published in Love of Quilting May/June 2014. Angela’s version appears in the 3400 series pattern eBooklet and Love of Quilting January/February 2020 (available December 2019).
