Fat Quarter Fancy Quilt Summer Bright

Fat Quarter Friendly For Any Season.

A fast and fun quilt to use up your fat quarter stash. If you love splashes of florals, country theme, vintage or modern, this pretty quilt will add a summer or spring garden to your decor. A beautiful throw to drape over your sewing room sofa or even on the porch. Roll up and tie with a ribbon for a house warming gift, or to cheer up a friend to remind them that Spring is around the corner.

 

Sew up this beautiful throw quilt using 9 fat quarters plus a little more than a yard of background fabric. Find scraps with bright florals in pinks, blue, green lilac. If you have anything with butterflies or sweet birds, would be the perfect addition.

To make each block the fat quarter will cut into four 9″x 9″ squares. Stitch up the blocks together with 4 /3″ squares in background fabric to create the block. They go super quick chain piecing, then separate the chain pieced quilt blocks using this Sunflower Quilts Thread Cutter. Who could imagine a simple thread cutter could save so much time.

The design becomes apparent when the quilt top is constructed. To ensure all of the blocks are pointing in the right direction, the top is divided into quarters Arrange the blocks as instructed and a resonance of color bursts from this quilt. It’s very pretty.

The designer Caroline from Sew Can She provides a tutorial for The Fat Quarter Fancy throw quilt which is approximately 52” square. Finished blocks are 8 1/2″. The quilt made up of 36 blocks will make a smaller size throw or a a generous size baby quilt. You could easily adapt the pattern to make it larger or smaller using more or fewer blocks.

You would have enough left over fabric from the fat quarters, plus one more fat quarter to make a scrappy binding. Although binding is easy to using left over fabric and strips in the scrap basket.
