Hi Quilty Friends! Today I'm excited to share the Jacks Quilt from the fabulous book: Fast & Fun Lap Quilts written by Melissa Corry.
I love how the blocks are like the classic Jacks Game .... does anyone remember it??? My sisters and I enjoyed playing it!
The Jacks Quilt is also the cover quilt for the Fast & Fun Lap Quilts Book too. As the cover quilt uses a light background, I thought it would be fun to use Moda Chambray Grey for the background with a Dwell Layer Cake.
Guess what - there is a GIVEWAY on my Instagram @ABitofScrapStuff if you want to win a Dwell Layer Cake!!! Wahoo!!!!
Fast & Fun Lap Quilts Book - written by Melissa Corry
10" Squares are my favorite pre-cut as I receive at least one print from an entire collection at a more affordable price. The Fast & Fun Lap Quilts book is perfect for me and my collection of 10" Squares (Layer Cakes, Stackers). There are Nine Quilt Patterns included and each quilt is so different - I love that! Melissa did a fabulous job designing all the patterns!!!
Fast & Fun Lap Quilts Book is available at Amazon or Fat Quarter Shop or your favorite book store. I think you love this book!
Jacks Quilt 62.5" x 77.5"
The Jacks Quilt is a quite a large lap size quilt at 62.5" x 77.5". The larger size is perfect for taller people and/or for more than one person! When my kiddos were younger - they loved sharing quilts on the couch while watching movies.
PS - Don't worry my quilt is square.... the ground is uneven, but I love love love the fall leaves!!!
Jacks Quilt Supplies:
- Fast & Fun Lap Quilts Book - Amazon or Fat Quarter Shop
- (40) 10" Squares - Dwell by Camille Roskelley
- 4.5 yards of Background - Moda Chambray Grey 12051 12
- 4.75 yards Backing - Early Bird by Bonnie & Camille (out of stock)
Did you notice that binding fabric isn't included in the supply list? That is because you will use your 10" squares to create a fabulous scrappy binding! I LOVE it!!!!
The Jacks Quilt uses (40) 10" Squares for the quilt top and binding ... so there is only (2) 10" squares left over. I love a quilt pattern that uses almost a full 10" Layer Cake or 10" Stacker! As you are using almost all of the 10" squares - be sure to choose a background fabric that will not blend too closely with your 10" squares. I thought the Moda Chambray Grey was perfect for the Dwell Collection as there are quite a few lighter prints in the collection.
Be sure to follow me on Instagram @ABitofScrapStuff and on my A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog for more fabric fun!
Have a great day and happy sewing / quilting!
