quilt pattern – Sparkling Cider, available here
(i added an extra row to make it 80″ square)
fabric – Weekends by Erin McMorris
a fat quarter pack of this entire collection is plenty to make this quilt
plus you’ll need about a yard of background fabric
– I used a Kaffe Fasset shot cotton –
inspiration – My Precious Quiltalong
quilting – good old-fashioned stippling, which makes a large quilt work fairly well on my regular
sewing machine
next up – Hopscotch with Dream On by Urban Chiks (also with the inspiration of My Precious Quiltalong)

Beautiful! Can't wait to see the Hopscotch come together. I like watching the My Precious Quiltalong and seeing how people are using their favorite fabrics. Very inspiring!! Lovely pictures too as usual, you are so talented!

I've got some "Weekends" fabric that I've been saving/hoarding in my closet. That quilt is fabulous!

This is so beautiful! I think this is my favorite ever quilt pattern. I have a top finished that I made with my FFA1 stash, and Someday I will finish it! Your pictures and your home are beautiful! What color did you use for the backing & binding?

It looks so pretty Jolene! Now I just need to start cutting into my FFA stack to get started on my version on this pattern. I am a little scared lol. Do you like Erin's new line La Dee Da? I am a huge fan of her stuff. I am getting my first ever FQ bundle of that line 🙂
