Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Home

Style: Funky, Mod, Cute


Materials

Fandango layer cake from Moda

What was your inspiration?

Wanted to use this beautiful layer cake. Also decided to make something for myself since my last several projects were gifts for others. I love this fabric (Moda always catches my eye!) and wanted to showcase it without small pieces so I chose large half square triangles. Thought it would be more interesting than just blocks.

I used one of the Fandango prints in another quilt and loved it so much that I got a layer cake to make a whole quilt.

What are you most proud of?

That all the piecing is done!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Just go for it. You don't need a pattern. Start sewing and use all that beautiful fabric!!!!

Love it! I still haven't made a quilt for myself, but I'm getting there ... have some great fabric and hope to finish one this year. If people would stop having babies for a few months, that would help! :-)
