Have you seen the October/November 2021 issue of Fons & Porter’s Quick + Easy Quilts? It is crammed full of fun projects perfect for fall sewing. I love the bright and cheerful cover quilt, don’t you? “Sunshine in the Cabins” is layer cake friendly and made by Tracy Mooney, editor of the magazine. (A layer cake is forty-two 10″ squares from a particular fabric line.)
Flip to page 40 and you’ll see the style shot of my “Giant Bloomer” design, also layer cake friendly. If you remember, my “Bloomer” design made with a charm pack of 5″ squares was published in the Feb./Mar. 2021 issue of Quick + Easy Quilts. After completing it, I wondered if the comparative measurements and sewing methods would translate to 10″ squares. “Giant Bloomer” is the affirmative result. For this quilt I purchased a layer cake of “French Bees” designed by Renee Nanneman for Andover fabrics.
I also made a winter holiday “Giant Bloomer” with “Joyful” fabrics from Maywood Studio.
Maywood Studio generously sent me more fabric than I needed, so I have “Joyful” prints to send to a blog reader. If you would like to be entered in the drawing, leave a comment below. You must promise to make “Giant Bloomer” or other layer cake friendly quilt with the fabric and send me a picture of your project. The drawing will be on October 1.
