Fat Quarter Patterns

McCalls’s Quick Quilts COVER GIRL!

December 31, 2015July 28, 2020 77 comments
MQQ_COVER-FebMarch2016
McCall’s Quick Quilt Cover Girl!

It has been so fun to see pieces of my quilts gracing the covers of recent quilt magazines. Usually the quilt is in a pile with other quilts and you can see just a small section of my quilt. But this month- I am the cover quilt! Woo hoo!

I love this quilt. The fabrics I used were from the line Hazel by Allison Harris of Cluck Cluck Sew for Windham Fabrics. I wanted to use the fabrics but at first, I could not get them. But then a quilting miracle occurred and I had a FQ of most of the line. So this quilt will work with FQs!

It is a fun, quick quilt and best of all, you could make it bigger or small very easily. 

I was lucky enough to get a couple of extra magazines this month, so I am going to share with you. If you would like a chance to win a copy of the magazine, leave a comment below.

 

 Maybe you could tell me if you want to make the quilt using theses fabrics (McCalls has kits!) or if you have a pile of FQs that you have been saving that might be perfect for this.

Or just leave any old comment you want.

Giveaway is now closed- thank you to all who entered!

Please be sure I can reach you- I will be emailing you if you win and twice lately the winners have not gotten back to me so I had to pull new names. I am not sure if my email goes into spam, but check back here on the blog to make sure you know if you are the winner. I will now give winners 7 days to respond and then I will pull a new name.

    Your post really caught my eye when you mentioned “Hazel” as that was my dear mom’s name. She always said she’d never have any grandchildren named after her since it was such an old, ugly (in her words) name. I am happy there is a fabric collection named with Hazel! I would use a selection of my current fat quarters to make this quilt. I think it would look great as a baby quilt!
