Hi Quilty Friends! Today I'm sharing a FREE quilt pattern - available HERE! The Fat Eight Flapjacks Quilt designed by Fat Quarter Shop is a fun and quick quilt to make! It's perfect for Fat Eighth bundles or your stash.
I used the fabulous Golden Hour Fat Quarter Bundle designed by Alexia Abegg for Ruby Star Society. You can totally use Fat Quarters as (1) Fat Quarter = (2) Fat Eighth.
I totally LOVE the colors of the Golden Hour Collection. Alexa also just released her latest fabric collection: Heirloom, which has similar colors and would look fabulous too!

I tried new free motion quilting with loops (some large and some small) and I LOVE it! No marking was needed as I made the loops fit within the block strips! It did take quite a bit of time and thread for this quilting design, but so worth it!
My Golden Hour Fat Quarter Bundle has more than 11 Fat Quarters so I had enough fabric for a scrappy binding, which I totally love!

It looks fine without the border. I didn't realize it was missing. You picked a great set of fabrics for this design. I love it. After seeing it without the border, I am not sure I would want the border.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I love the design. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I am curious what the back looks like. It appears that you have used multiple fabrics. Can you post a photo? Thank you for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like I used multiple fat quarters from stash to make a scrappy backing. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the backing.
