Hello Quilty Friends! I'm so excited to share my Flutter Quilt with the gorgeous Golden Aster fabric designed by Gabrielle Neil for Riley Blake Designs! Keep on reading for the FREE Flutter Quilt mini tutorial!
The Golden Aster fabric collection can easily be divided into 4 color ways ... this was perfect for making a scrappy Flutter Quilt!
I love using my AccuQuilt GO! Drunkard's Path 7" finished die. The larger block makes the curves easier to sew! Plus the notches on the curves - make it simple to line up for perfect and easy curves!

The Flutter Quilt is a great quilt if you are wanting to start sewing curves! The AccuQuilt GO! Drunkard's Path 7" Finished Die is large so the curve is easy to sew. Plus AccuQuilt allows you to cut your fabric perfectly every time!
