Flamingo Fever Shortcake Quilt

Happy Tuesday! It's the perfect day to share my latest quilt....Flamingo Fever Shortcake Quilt! I used my ADORNit Flamingo Fever fabric (along with a few other ADORNit fabrics from my stash) mixed with ADORNit Burnish Gray fabric for the background and I love how the fabrics look together!!!

This was the first time I have sewn Cluck Cluck Sew's Shortcake Quilt Pattern and it will not be my last...I LOVE it! I'm sure this pattern makes all fabrics even more fabulous!

Supplies for Shortcake Quilt - lap size
1. ADORNit Flamingo Fever Fabric. I cut my yardage into 2.5" strips to make my own jelly roll
2. ADORNit Burnish gray - background
3. ADORNit Gingham Watermelon- binding
4. ADORNit Daisy Spread Red- backing (This is only $6 per/yard on sale...yay!)
5. Shortcake Quilt Pattern - Cluck Cluck Sew

Just look at these fabulous blocks... plus a close up of the fabric!!! Flowers, Pineapples, Gingham, Strips....LOVE!

Be sure to check out the ADORNit Outlet/Sale Fabric section...it is fabulous! I've purchased quite a few backing fabrics from the sale section and they are quilt shop quality (just older collections- but still awesome). I used Daisy Spread Red fabric for backing this quilt.

I've had a great time being an ADORNit Ambassador for the past 3 months...it went so fast! I love all the fabric that I was sent (and purchased including the clothing). Just because my "official" time is ending doesn't mean I won't keep sewing with ADORNit ;) !

A bit more about the Beach Mix Quilt Pattern

This is a great beginner level pattern that is quick and fun to sew! The large blocks make cutting and piecing a breeze. This quilt can easily be finished in a weekend....so it will ready for the beach or picnic in no time! I love a simple quilt pattern that allows the fabrics to stand out! If you have any questions when sewing the pattern - please ask!

I really wish I was able to bring this quilt to Hawaii for photos....that would've been perfect! So you will just have to imagine tropical flowers and palm trees in the background :)

Luckily with my Beach Mix Quilt- I can pretend I'm on the sandy beaches and smelling the tropical flowers.

Looks at the gorgeous fabric swirl the quilt top makes....
