Favorite Little Things Friday Bundle Batch with Fort Worth Fabric Studio


Happy Friday! I'm so excited to share one of my favorite Friday Bundle Batch with Fort Worth Fabric Studio....which is so perfectly named Favorite Little Things

When I saw all the cute Calico Days Fabric by Lori Holt, I just couldn't wait to start sewing.  I chose a project from the super great book: Lucky Charm Quilts, which is available at Fort Worth Fabric Studio (plus it is on sale). I couldn't decide between a pillow or table topper....so I made both by just adding a zippered backing :)

Did you know from one fat quarter...you can cut (12) 5" charm squares??? That means with each Friday Bundle Batch...you get 96 charm squares plus (8) 2.5" strip for scrappy binding per bundle. It also means you can make most of the projects in this Lucky Charm Quilts book by just adding a some background fabric!!! I just love using my bundle to the fullest!

This week I chose to make Two-Pack Buzz Quilt Pattern on page 30 of Lucky Charm Quilts.


You can actually make the entire quilt top with this Friday Bundle Batch if you add some background fabric! 

I decided to make 4 blocks and use the Swiss Dot Fat Quarter for my background and border plus 2 fat quarters for the zippered backing to create a Table Topper/Mini Quilt/Pillow!



Helpful Tips if you want to make the 19.5" project above by making four blocks

Cutting for blocks - you will need the Lucky Charm Quilts book for the actual measurements plus a super easy and clever way to piece these blocks!
From Pattern Fabric "Charm fabric"
(16) rectangles
(8) charm squares
From Background Fabric
(8) charm squares
(4) 2" x WOF or 1.75" x 21" for borders

Sew four blocks together as shown and add borders - then quilt.


Backing - I chose to add a zippered backing so it could be a table topper or mini quilt or pillow! I chose these 2 adorable prints for my backing.




Be sure to tag your projects on social media with #sewingwithfwfabricstudio and @fwfabricstudio and me @mellierc so I can see them!

Happy Friday!!!
