Welcome to my day on the Fresh Fat-Quarter Quilts Book Tour. Fresh Fat-quarter Quilts is the new book by Andy Knowlton for Martingale, featuring 12 fat-quarter friendly quilts.
This book is beautifully presented with a great assortment of quilts to suit anyone. So if you have 6FQ or 14FQ sitting on your desk that you love but are not sure what to do with, I recommend that you take a look at this book.
To celebrate the release of Andy's book I decided to make the 'Penelope Quilt' using my Bonnie and Camille stash.
Once upon a time I would have not made a quilt with so many HST's but the laser light on my Brother machine (Innovis VQ3000) takes away the need to mark my HST. I can just pair my fabric and stitch! Add in some chain piecing and it all starts to come together rather quickly.
I have a navy Bonnie and Camille floral picked out for the binding.
I do apologise for the yellow photos but with a week of a sick Miss L, a washing machine giving up on me and now Miss K getting sick and then rain this afternoon, I have given up on an outside photo for the time being. Maybe I will try again after I quilt this one.
And .......... because a photo shoot can't happen in my house without a little photo bombing!
"Hello from Elly and Anakin."

ReplyDeleteIt's lovely Sharon! And I'm so impressed with how productive you were even with a sick kiddo (and two photo bombers) ;)
