Quilt Reveal – Trippy Quilt #4 – Green and Orange and a Hint of Silver
I looked back and the last time I had a quilt reveal that was not a rescue was January. It was this one. I guess I’ve been busy with other things. No matter! There’s a reveal today of my fourth Trippy quilt. I’m not going to say that I could make one that I prefer better than that gold version, but I really LOVE this one.
Let’s get all the questions I normally get asked out of the way first! Trippy pattern is here, it’s part of the Scrappy Pattern Pack.
My other versions of Trippy:
- The first one – Purple and Yellow – Gifted to my sister
- That colorful one – HUGE – Commission quilt
- Then the gold one – The one I’d grab if the house was coming down around me and that everyone said looked like 70s shag carpet

I used scraps for this quilt in shades of orange, shades of green, a tiny smidgen of silver, and loads of low volume. I also threw in just a bit of teal that was on the green side of the color wheel. I don’t have the exact fabrics in a bundle for you, but here’s something I put together and meant to be very similar to this version of the quilt.
I used this pic to choose my fabrics. It was sent to me by the lady who commissioned the quilt.
I quilted this one with an all over design, the scallop bubbles. Here’s a tutorial for those. Having the whole quilt done with these made for some yummy texture. It took quite a while to quilt this one up, but worth it, I think.
Someone asked me recently how to choose what quilting design, and I don’t think there are any rules. For Trippy though, since it is a very busy quilt and there is no place for the eye to rest, I think it’s best with an all over design. Why make it overly difficult if you can’t really see it? I hadn’t done this design on a quilt yet and wanted to, so here we are.

This one is a feel good finish. Tedious, but fun watching come together. I’m really wanting to make another gold version for my own bed, but KNOW that it would be such a big task to take on. Soon though. My heart is set on.

The Trippy pattern is going to be my next project! Love these colors so much?
Thank you!
Do you have a fabric bundle available for the gold one- The one you would grab if the house was coming down around you?? It’s my fave!
Ha! I’ll get another one made up! I think I’ve got enough golds again.
I love the colours in this quilt! And the texture from quilting is fabulous <3
Thanks, Nicole!
Can you just buy the trippy pattern? I would never make the other two and it would be a waste to get all three. Thanks
