Thank goodness it’s Finished Friday! I’m so excited to share this little guy with you today — meet Outfoxed, my finished fox quilt, hanging up and ready to show off.
This is a pattern I originally designed for Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine, and it’s one I’ve been wanting to revisit and re-release for a while now. The good news? It will be available on my website very soon — so if you’ve been eyeing the foxy face, hang tight, you won’t have to wait long.
A few details about this one
I kept the palette warm and graphic: a punchy orange fox with rich rust and burgundy accents, a soft white chest and tail tip, and that little black nose right at the center of his face. He’s sitting on a fresh patch of chartreuse “grass” against a pale icy-blue sky, and I bound the whole thing in a deep teal to really frame him in. The contrast between the warm fox and the cool background is one of my favorite things about this version.
The fox himself is pieced — no appliqué, no curves, no foundation paper piecing. Just straight seams and careful color placement to get that geometric, slightly-stylized look. He comes together more easily than you’d expect, which makes this a really satisfying project for confident beginners who want to try something a little more pictorial. It also makes a wonderful baby or toddler quilt, and would look just as good as a wall hanging in a kid’s room.
I had this one quilted with an allover floral motif, which softens all those angular pieces and adds a lovely texture across the background. I love how the quilting catches the light differently across the orange and the blue.
Outfoxed coming soon to the shop
I’ll be releasing Outfoxed as a PDF and paper pattern on my website in the next couple of weeks — keep an eye out, or sign up for my newsletter if you want a heads up the moment it goes live. If you made the original magazine version, I would love to see yours too! Tag me on Instagram so I can come admire your fox.
Now it's your turn — link up your finishes!
This is TGIFF (Thank Goodness It’s Finished Friday), which means it’s all about celebrating the projects you got across the finish line this week. Big, small, simple, ambitious — anything you finished counts, and we want to see it.
How to link up:
- Add a link to your finished project post (not your blog homepage — link straight to the specific post so people can find it later).
- Grab the TGIFF button and add it to your post, or link back here so others can join in.
- Visit a few other finishers and leave some love in the comments — that’s the best part!
The linky will stay open through the weekend, so there’s plenty of time to add yours and to go visit everyone else’s. I can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on.
Happy Friday, friends — go celebrate that finish!
Outfoxed is so cute!!! I like how you’ve designed it simply pieced. Thanks for hosting TGIFF!
