Have you just been showing off your latest new Fat Quarter bundle over at Molli Sparkles' place?
Not sure what to do with it yet? Well let me help you!
Laura from Quokka Quilts has just released her first self published pattern that will show off those babies perfectly.
Feature prints, small patterns, they'll all get their moment in the limelight here ...
 |
| Laura made her version using V and Co's Simply Color |
The smallest quilt size will swallow up 6 FQ's in a flash (no waste people!) and the largest will take care of 9 FQ's ... yes, you shouldda, couldda, wouldda bought the bigger bundle!
All the FQ's are cut the same way .. so if you're confident you can layer, measure (cross your fingers and toes) and cut ... job done!
In fact this pattern reminds me of a quote "Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple" - Woody Guthrie. You'll know what I mean when you see Laura's cutting plan - genius!
To make this quilt I would use a Fat Quarter ... in each colour ... of Art Gallery Essentials, Girl About Town. I like that these fabrics are technically blenders ... or understudies ... and would have their moment to shine as the main act in this pattern.

| Colours: Lime, Rose, Mint, Navy, Orange and Rouge |

ReplyDeleteI certainly appreciate a pattern with a good cutting plan. I hate wasting any fabric at all! That quilt shows off those beautiful plum fabrics to a T!
ReplyDeletePurple really is following you around lately, isn't it?!?

ReplyDeleteHi Serena! Fantastic post! I love Laura's pattern and I'm happy to join this hop on wednesday (so don't count me for the give away). You picked perfect Fabrics for this great pattern! x Teje
ReplyDeleteVery very nice! Wonderful post and way nice pattern. Although the purple has to go! (just me) I have plunnnnty of FQ's. yup.
ReplyDeleteNice pattern, I have just the fat quarters to make this pattern. Matsche.christine@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteLove a simple yet effective quilt pattern. I love that you'd use bright bold fabrics to really make this pattern sing. I think I'd do the same - use some to the FQ's that I've been hoarding because I don't want to cut them up and then let them run free in this design.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a free copy! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have a bundle of fat quarters just waiting for this pattern!
ReplyDeleteWow, really pretty pattern and plums, love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat pattern - I'd love to win a copy!

ReplyDeleteI like your fabric choices and I have a number of FQs that I would love to showcase.
ReplyDeletegreat post! I so need to go on a purple shopping spree!
ReplyDeleteSuch a perfect name for a great pattern!! It would suit pretty much any type of fabric, big scale , small scale and all in between. It's a great giveaway but better not include me, I have way too many projects on the go to add another.
ReplyDeleteI have some Kaffe fat quarters. This would be a great pattern in which to showcase them.
