Cake Mix Quilt Book - Sherbet Quilt


Happy Cake Mix Monday!!! What a great way to start the week!!! I'm super excited to quilt along with Fat Quarter Shop and It's So Emma with their new book: Cake Mix Quilt Book -Volume 1.

Cake Mix Quilt Book - Volume 1 contains 16 quilt patterns plus a "how to" for using the Moda Cake Mixes to make perfect half square triangles. Plus each pattern is clearly written and easy to follow! I chose to make the Sherbet quilt...which I just LOVE!


I wanted to make my quilt red and gray so I made my own layer cake using reds from Moda's Sweetwater: The Tree House Club and Bonnie & Camille: Little Ruby and Basics plus Pat Sloan: Sunday Drive. 
Each 1/2 yard of fabric gives you (4) 10" squares plus extra fabric for scrappy binding or 1 yard gives you (12) squares plus extra fabric for scrappy binding.

Peppermint Bark Quilt with Dixie Fabric and Fat Quarter Shop



I'm so excited to share my Peppermint Bark Quilt using Cluck Cluck Sew's Dixie Fabrics from Fat Quarter Shop! I thought it would be fun to use my Dixie fabrics while I anxiously await her new Hello Jane collection (it has purple!!!). I love the Peppermint Bark Pattern from It's So Emma at Fat Quarter Shop! The blocks  are fun to sew and show off the fabrics so well! 


I always enjoying sewing It's So Emma patterns as they are clearly written plus the included pressing instructions will give perfect points! Each block finishes at 14"- which is such a nice size block for quilts, table runners, or pillows! 


For my lap size quilt, I made 9 blocks and enlarged the borders and sashing to 5.5" cut strips.  This made a 62" square size quilt! I stippled the quilt on my home sewing machine...I just love to stipple!
