Sometimes I see a pair of fabrics next to each other and they immediately spark something.. does that ever happen to you? The moment I put this golden cheddar cross weave fabric next to my favorite green print from SUMMER’S END, I just couldn’t let it go. After a few block attempts, this CHUNKY DANDELION felt like just the perfect way to feature both the fabrics and the “feel” I was hoping for. … flimsy is done and off to the quilter soon. More pics coming as soon as it is back! The simple…

When Fig Tree staff friend, Megan, came up with the idea, we were all in. What a wonderfully simple way to use our favorite precuts and have…
Calling all JELLY ROLL lovers out there! Working with a single jelly roll to create this LONE STAR variation was honestly so much more fun than I ever imagined. I think it is the perfect blend of strip pieced blocks and with the addition of the solid star points, the blocks go together so much easier & faster than expected.
