This quilt! I just love the fact that I set out to

This quilt! I just love the fact that I set out to create this kind of diamond star pattern and literally in the middle of designing, I figured out I could do the whole thing without a single template or odd cut or special method!! It’s all SEW & FLIP my friends… which means simple piecing and no triangles or bias of any kind! And it looks soooo much more complicated, right? That is my favorite kind of pattern to design and I am always so happy when I can get the block and the math to do what I went. Pattern: Midsummer Stars. Available now. I know many of you have inquired, but unfortunately we are sold out of kits but we are trying to see if we can make a few more so email me if interested. #strawberriesandrhubarbfabric #figtreequilts #figtreeandco #showmethemoda #modafabrics #starquilt #starquilts #twocolorquilt #scrappyquilt #quiltsofinstagram #quiltsofinsta #patterndesigner

Morning friends! Our next #figsandfriendscolab bun

Morning friends! Our next #figsandfriendscolab bundle is up and shipping today! This is a fun summer palette… a mix of mustard and coral that makes the yummiest color combination I think. All the info about the bundle, the fabrics and the pattern is on the blog and we have extras in the shop this morning while supplies last. #figtreeandco #figtreequilts #figtreefabric #modafabrics #showmethemoda

Let’s talk low volume prints… they are the staple that I can’t live without. For my favorite small scale ones… I keep a bolt! 😂😳😎 Seriously, they always get used, they are soothing to look at in the midst of all of my color and I never regret it. Now… I know a full bolt might be a bit much for most of you but small ivory low volume prints end up in almost every single one of my quilts and I never ever get tired of collecting them, petting them and using them! We just added some more bundles of this particular yummy stack since it looks like you guys might agree. They just make me happy! Do you have a favorite all time background print that you use over and over?? #strawberriesandrhubarbfabric #pumpkinsandblossomsfabric #figtreeandco #figtreefabric #figtreequilts #figtreefabric #lowvolumefabric #lowvolumequilt #showmethemoda #scrappyquilt

So when I used to work in a quilt shop… many moo

So when I used to work in a quilt shop… many moons ago… my absolute favorite thing was mixing and matching colors for customer projects. Customer would bring in a quilt they wanted to re-create the feel of and I would be off! Searching and hunting for the perfect combinations in the shelves. It was, hands-down, my favorite part of working in a shop... So I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that as a designer when I need a little bit of a break, I go into the fabric room and start creating bundles for you guys! I still love it so much!! These are a mix of strawberries & rhubarb and pumpkins & blossoms. OH … and if you are @laceypoirier , you are my #pillowalong winner this week. If you are @maryjane_minnick and @sweetpeaandpumkins … you guys are my charm pack + pattern giveaway winners!! Congrats and email for details!!

Blog Post with lots of Strawberry Blossoms variations today … there are so many different ways to do this quilt. I had to tell you that it was really hard to pick one to make when I wanted to make like seven different versions😂😂😂. I am wondering if you have a favorite? If you go to the blog (blog link is in our bio) and tell me your favorite version via a comment, either there in the blog comments or here on Instagram, you will be entered for a free pattern and charm pack giveaway! I really am curious if a clear favorite will emerge or not! #figtreequilts #strawberriesandrhubarb #strawberriesandrhubarbfabric #figtreeandco #modafabrics #showmethemoda #figtreefabrics #figtreefabric #strawberryquilt

Working on some things for next week… and all I’m gonna say is… you might wanna grab some of those awesome Wagon Wheel Templates.
