-- Twinkle Quilt: Sweet Acres --
Hi Quilty Friends! I’m excited to share my TwinkleQuilt featuring the newest fabric collection: Sweet Acres designed by Beverly McCullough. Sweet Acres is a sweet collection of florals, farm life, stripes, and geometric prints in cheerful colors! Such a perfect collection for spring quilting!
I absolutely love to fussy cut fabric prints when quilting! I love choosing a specific pattern such as cute barn animals or florals to be a focus for a quilt block. The fussy cut blocks add extra interest to your quilt and only takes a bit of extra time. When I'm fussy cutting fabric, my favorite tools are: Lori Holt Cute Cuts Trim it Rulers plus the Sue Daley Rotating Cutting mat (both products are produced by Riley Blake Designs)
Twinkle Quilt 56.8" x 69.5"
