Fat Quarter Shop Quiltalong: Mini Charm Chocolates

Posted on by

 

Do you have a collection of mini charm packs or am I the only one? I never, ever know what to do with them. I’ve used them to make pouches in the past, but there are ALWAYS, always mini charms left over. When Fat Quarter Shop opened up participation in this quiltalong, I was so excited because this quilt uses mini charms!!!!!!!!! The shortcut version I made is a small baby quilt, and it uses 4 mini charm packs. I chose to use Modern Background Luster Metallic by Zen Chic for Moda, but could you imagine making a bigger version and mixing different lines of mini charms together? It would be such a fun quilt and it would be a great stash buster. The components for this quilt come together very quickly and will definitely be a quilt I’ll be making again.

Fat Quarter Shop Quiltalong: Fat Quarter Cobblestone Quilt

Posted on by

Who doesn’t love a good plus sign quilt? I know they are one of my very favorite things to make and I couldn’t be more excited to share this Fat Quarter Cobblestone quilt in Berry Merry by Basic Grey for Moda Fabrics. The quilt blocks are large enough to fully enjoy these adorable prints. This short cut version uses 25 fat quarters and zero background fabric. It is a great bundle buster! Sometimes the hardest part of finally opening that favorite fat quarter bundle is having a quilt in mind that will showcase the treasured fabrics instead of cut them into tiny pieces. To get the FREE pattern, visit Fat Quarter Shop’s blog, The Jolly Jabber.  Don’t they look like chubby plus signs?!? They are so cute!

For my version, I decided to try my hand at free motion quilting a holly and berries motif. It took a little bit of practice, but I’m very proud of the way it turned out. I settled on a red thread color because if I’m going to take the time to FMQ, I like to be able to see it! Make sure to check out the other size options in the pattern as well, including a cute baby sized quilt!

Fat Quarter Shop Quiltalong: Lady of the Lake

Posted on by

There is just something I love so much about mixing classic blocks with modern fabrics. From the minute Fat Quarter Shop said “go!” on their latest quiltalong, I knew I wanted to use a hot pink, modern print for my sample block of their Lady of the Lake quilt. Don’t let all of the half square triangles intimidate you. They’ve given some great tips and tricks on how to make multiples at once. You cannot beat the stunning way this looks in their sample quilt using The Good Life by Bonnie & Camille for Moda Fabrics.
