figgy pudding

I finished a new Christmas quilt! There is a tutorial up on the Moda Bake Shop for this simple quilt that features the Figgy Pudding fabric line.
This quilt is QUICK! There is still plenty of time to (start and) finish it up before the holidays.
This one actually matches my house. Bonus! ;) I have 3 Christmas quilts in my collection now, with an idea for a 4th one that's been brewing for a long time. Hopefully I can get to it soon!
edited to add: oops! i made a yardage calculation error. (ironic, since i just posted how to calculate your quilt measurements. ha! :) ) for the center panel, you will need 1 3/4 yards of fabric, not 1 2/3 as originally stated. the green fabric is from JoAnn's. It's from their classic cotton line in the color celery.

  6. I really like that quilt! Nice, simple and easy! Do you have to buy the material to make the the tutorials or does moda give it to you? And then do they contact you first? Or you them? Sorry just have been curious!

  61. I have both your blog and Moda Bake Shop bookmarked - Moda sits just above yours on the list. So, as I went through my daily blog reading, I clicked on Moda, read through, then clicked on yours next. I kept thinking I was hitting the wrong blog, cuz the first picture was the same! It's beautiful.

  70. Sweet, sweet --- cheers for the panel! I have a large scale floral that I love and haven't wanted to cut up. Obviously it could function as a quilt back, but in my opinion it's too pretty to be "just" a back. This is the perfect solution! Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  75. Man, I'm inspired by your design. I have a charm pack and a jelly roll plus a few fat quarters so I'll be improvising to make a top similar to yours. While it won't be done be Christmas, I know I'll enjoy snuggling up to it! ;-)
