A new set of 12 Fat Quarter and a super easy pattern - this is a sure fire way to get the sewing mojo happening! I'd had the Fat Quarters for a few weeks before deciding what to make with them. They are so gorgeous, especially some of the weird and funky flowers in the bigger prints.

| The 12 Fat Quarters - ready to cut.... |
I cut out all the blocks and sewed them up in January 2020. They got packed away and my sewing room was turned into an extra room for a belated Christmas celebration with Hubby's family.

| Blocks made and laid out. |
They stayed packed away until May 2021, when in the midst of another set of "stay at home" lockdown orders and the late Autumn/early Winter blues were setting in. I decided to open the box and let the joyous colours help me beat those 'blues'.

| Can almost see the quilting detail. |
I was hoping the photo above would show a detail of the quilting, but it hasn't come up as well as I would've liked. I quilted this quilt in a lime green thread on my domestic sewing machine with a tumbling heart-shaped leaf design.
The piece of fabric for the backing was not quite the correct size, so the left-over squares and fabric pieces were added.
And, of course there must be the shot of the backing onto the front. The orange binding is just the ticket for creating a good contrast between the front and back.

| Finished Quilt - measures 49in x 56in |
Here is the finished quilt. Taking the photo on quite an overcast day has really made the colours sing. Unfortunately, the fold lines show, so it's been re-folded along different lines and put aside until it's forever home becomes known to me.
Pattern used: So Simple by MODA.
