Fat Quarter Plus QAL - finished quilt!
July was a busy sewing month around here with two quilt alongs! The Summer Block Party was a blast to sew such a fun combination of blocks created by some of my favorite designers and the Fat Quarter Plus QAL was an easy breezy make that was perfect for summertime sewing.
The fabric I chose for this quilt was a FQ bundle I’ve had in my stash for a couple of years. It’s Warp & Weft Moonglow by Alexia Abegg and honestly is a lovely light weight for a summer quilt. And the drape is beautiful with these woven fabrics.
I’m not sure how I got lucky enough for a number of my stripes to actually line up within the quilt, but love that they did!! See proof below.
Given the soft texture and drape of these fabrics, I didn’t want to quilt it too densely, so this fun wishbone design worked great.
After making this quilt and seeing so many others during the QAL, I really do believe that this pattern works well with ANY fabric collection. And with the simple patchwork construction, you can get it done in no time.
Even though this fabric is a little older, I was able to find just enough of the beautiful blue on blue design to use for the back and binding. I’m so glad I finally have that bundle off of my shelf and in a quilt!
Thanks to those who sewed along with us, it was fun!
