Fat Quarter Shop’s Perfect 5 Sampler Quilt Along
Fat Quarter Shop are hosting the Perfect 5 Sampler Quilt Along kicking off on October 9. The quilt along will use the Perfect 5 Quilts Book by It’s Sew Emma.
The Perfect 5 Quilts Book by It’s Sew Emma includes 16 single block quilts that will delight and inspire. All blocks can be made using the Fat Quarter Shop Perfect 5 Ruler from Creative Grids combined with classic 5” charm squares.
I have Week 7 – Fortune Cookie and Frosted Cookie blocks. I can’t wait. I’ve decided to go with a low volume scrappy look. It’s the first time I’ve ever worked with this kind of palette and I’m nervously excited for the challenge.
I’m going to be using the On the Lighter Side by Robert Kaufman charm pack for this project and supplementing it with fabrics from my own stash.
What’s the Schedule?
Every Wednesday, starting 9 October, you’ll be asked to sew 2 blocks from Perfect 5 Quilts Book by It’s Sew Emma. The fabric requirements and block timetable is listed in the graphic below.
