Fat Eighth Flapjacks Quilt


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!

My Fat Eighth Flapjacks Quilt is missing the outer border...this was an unintentional design, but I love it! I was basting my quilt and couldn't figure out why my backing fabric was soooooo large compared to my quilt top. I thought I must have measured my quilt backing incorrectly so I continued to baste my quilt and then trimmed off the excess batting. THEN I realized I had forgotten to add the border....oops!

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!

  1. 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.

    1. It looks like I used multiple fat quarters from stash to make a scrappy backing. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the backing.
