Heaven & Helsinki
This collection arrived earlier in the summer, but the warm tones were calling out for a comfy throw for chilly fall nights. I cut it into 5″ strips to make this simple quilt which really shows off Patty Young’s fun prints.
It was off to Melissa at SewShabbyQuilting for some custom quilting to complement the simple lines.
And a Woolies flannel back keeps it cozy. (The flannel is on sale for $9 /yard).
I’ve packaged 5″ strips of this collection – you can make the 42″ x 48″ quilt as shown (just reserve 3 strips, cut in half lengthwise, for a scrappy binding). Or you can cut those strips into 112 – 5″ charm squares to use in your favorite charm pattern. Or cut them in half lengthwise for 28 – 2.5″ jelly roll strips to use as you wish. The possibilities are endless.
I’ve got a package of strips to giveaway, along with a copy of the Fall issue of GenQ magazine. Just leave a comment and let me know what pre-cut you just can’t resist (or can’t wait to try!)
October 24 – The giveaway is now closed. The winner was Jo, who confessed “I recently purchased a mini charm pack (Vintage Modern) that I thought might be fun to try. Oh and a couple of layer cakes fell into the basket too! oops!
I love anything Kate Spain – gorgeous colours!! Cuzco looks yummy!!!
I am eager to get my hands on Summersville Spring and also some MamaSaidSew…and the list goes on! Thanks for chance to win this awesome bundle!
Great fabrics for a great project. I’m eager to try anything new fabrics, and I’d love to play with your 5 inch strips and sew them into a donation quilt. thanks for the chance.
I love anything with the red/turquoise/white themes. The collection you used for this quilt is wonderful. Vwey warm.
Love the brown and lime green makes it feel like fall! So inviting with all the colours together! would love to create with this bundle.
I’m enjoying all the wonderful Christmas fabrics out there right now and am looking forward to Mama Said Sew text prints – they will be useful in so many sewing projects! Super giveaway Pam – thanks for the chance!!
Really could use this fabric. Love it. I’m not familiar with the Gen Q magazine. I like the topics in the give-away Fall issue. Wish me luck:)
i would like any of the precuts to have fun with. I don’t generally look for specific fabric lines…although most everything i see in new fabric calls to me! thanks for the chance to win the giveaway!
great colors and I really like the quilting on this one!
So fun! I don’t buy a lot of precuts, but when I do I tend to get jelly rolls. I’m thinking that the Brr! line would be fun in a jelly roll. Thanks for the giveaway Pam!
Awesome quilt! I am hoping to get my hands on Simply Color by V and Co. Thanks for the giveaway.
I like charm square sizes best. The possibilities are endless!
I love the little squares pattern :) I have traditionally been a charms square kinda girl but I am leaning more towards jelly rolls nowadays :)
I love the charm squares.
I don’t buy a lot of pre-cuts either, but jelly rolls are definitely my fave! There are a lot of great quilts you can make with 2.5″ strips.
I like all the new fabrics. Looking for Odds and Ends for Moda
I’m dying for a pre-cut bundle of Brrr! Thanks for the chance to win.
I really like the Chicopee line. Such pretty blue/ greens!
I’ve always been a sucker for charm packs and keep a look out for new project ideas.
I like the precuts of Kona especially the blues.
I love all fabric! I seem to purchase alot of Moda prints:)
Looking forward to a fat quarter bundle of Calliope by Riley Blake Designs. Thanks for the chance to win.
I saw Dr. Mr. Claus at my LQS and practically swooned on the spot. Grabbed two charm packs and some yardage not included in the packs. No plans for them yet, but just looking at them thrills me to my fingertips! I think I’m going to start collecting charm packs because they are just so darn handy!
Have never purchased precuts, but would sure like to try.
I am just not sure of purchasing precuts – they look so scrappy and I am not a scrappy girl :-) But I love the look of it in quilts. If I could just get over sewing them myself.
All those colours are amazing together.
I think I would like to try the Kona Solids pre-cuts, perhaps in the brights. Although this set is pretty nice, too.
I love Moda fabrics especially the charm packs :)
I cannot resist fat quarters. I would like to try a layer cake – Marmalade comes to mind!
