The February kits are ready. The unassuming taupe and grey color pallet of the quilt is soothing and comfortable. The secondary patterns add interest and variety. Hope you love it!
The curves are created with Quiltsmart preprinted fusible interfacing. The quilt uses two panels of the interfacing which cost $5.48 each. Purchase the panels with the kit and receive 10% off.
The border on this one is optional. We used one yard of fabric for the border at $9.99/yard.
Limited yardage of coordinating fabric is available for the back. It takes 3 2/3 yards and will be sold on a first come basis.
We are releasing this one early because the shop will be closed Feb 28 - March 4 as we will be participating in the Spring Quilt retreat at Ruby's Inn.
Since the Quiltsmart method is new to some of you we are including a little tutorial. It is really a pretty simple process.
Trim the petals from the panel leaving about 1/2 inch from the outside line of the petal where possible.
Place the fusible (bumpy) side of the interfacing against the right side of the fabric. Sew on the solid line of the petal.
After sewing the interfacing to the fabric, cut on the outside dotted line. Cut the petal in half along the long, dotted center line.
Turn the shapes right side out and gently finger press the curved, sewn side.
Create 4 (matching) half petals for each star block.
Center a half petal on each side of the center square making sure the raw edges align with the outside edges of the square.
Press to activate the fusible. Stitch the curved edge in place.
We think it's a pretty slick trick. Hope you enjoy.
We will be using a layer Cake of "Love you S'more" from Riley Blake for the March mystery quilt (March 28). Call us at 801-465-9133 to reserve yours.
Happy Quilting!
