If you’re looking for a fun layer cake quilt pattern, you are going to love this!

I have been wanting to work on a simple quick project using up layer cake that I have in stash, and when I saw this as a free pattern, I quickly put it in my Wishlist to make. And it is pretty high up on the Wishlist to make. I just thought that it will make a quick project in between other projects.

And surely it din’t disappoint. 

You can get the free pattern below:

I am using a layer cake in my stash, probably from a collection that is almost 10 years old by Basic Grey called Mon Ami. It is probably hard to get now and out of print, but Basic Grey always have collections that are pretty similar and you can check that out HERE>.

As for the background, I am using this dark teal Confetti Cotton Stargazer which I bought on sale for less than $6/yard HERE>.

I am trying to try out various colour for my quilt background. I love white and natural colours, but using different colours or darker colours can be fun and give a different look to the quilt. So, here’s one of them. 

It is week 2 of Sewcialites 2! This week we get to make a fun bouquet quilt block by Susan Ache. 

You can find all about this free Sewcialites 2 quilt along and the free sampler quilt pattern HERE>.

There will be free video tutorials, so if you are a beginner, be sure to pick up all the tips Kimberly has for you as she sews the blocks in the videos. I love picking up various tips from different quilters as they teach me become a better quilter.

While there’s no hard and fast rule in quilting, there are definitely some time-saving tips and piecing tricks that just make things easier that we can pick up by watching other quilters sew. 

I learned so much from sewing along last year,

This year I’m sewing mine using a fat quarter bundle by Tasha Noel called the Quilt Fair!

2nd Block: Tussy Mussy

This block is designed by Susan Ache and it’s a cute bouquet of flower block. I have always wanter to make this block. A close version to a nosegay block. 

I am still making 9″ inch blocks for this quilt, and here’s my second block!

Here it is with my first block. 

Such a sweet block. I think I have not made a quilt with these colours yet. 

This collection is adorable. You can still check out this collection in store HERE>

I have worked with Tasha Noel’s collection before here in this sweet apron, but never a quilt yet. So I think this quilt will be a sweet one for my growing baby girl.

More updates on the scrappy Ocean Wave Quilt! This quilt is a labor of time and love for sure, but little by little it is making progress. I am not working on it fully and that is what makes it fun. I can work on several project at a time and yet still have some progress. 

I am making this Scrappy Quilt from the half-square triangles unit that I cut using the half-square triangle die I got with my Accuquilt starter kit.

This week, I even reorganize my sewing room this week to make sewing space for another machine up and running. 

It is that time of the year for another fun Sewcialites quilt along! I had so much fun last year, and I’m definitely not missing out on the fun this year too.

This year I’m sewing mine using a fat quarter bundle by Tasha Noel called the Quilt Fair!

I am using a Bella solid for the background and I am yet to choose the accent fabrics. I might just be using solid pink, teal and yellow to match some of the fabrics in this collection. 

In the information packet that is already available HERE, you can see the blocks that we will be making and the final layout.

It is such a unique layout and I’m excited to try that layout too.

This week will be the first week to kick off this quilt a long, therefore it is definitely a great time to join in!

First Block: Perennial Block 

This block is designed by Bev of the Flamingo Toes. 

Here is my 9″ inch block

Isn’t sweet?

This collection is so cute. You can still check out this collection in store HERE>

Now I am contemplating making the 3″ block!

It will surely be a challenge and I have to make sure I’ll starch fabric for making the smaller one. 

I didn’t starch this time for the fat quarter bundle. I was a little lazy to starch all the fat quarters. I think it will be fine for the 9″ inch blocks. We’ll make it work right?

Free Motion Quilting Loopy 8s.

I quilted mine with a loopy loop figure 8’s.

When doing this free motion, it is good to put in mind that it is not going to be perfect, but it is going to turn out fine!

Here’s a diagram of how I free-motion this design.

Gingham Binding

I chose one of the gingham from the Sweet Water Snowkissed collection to bind the quilt. I love the gingham in this collection.

The backing is one of the house’s print, there’s so many cute print form this collection, it was hard to choose the backing!

But I’m happy with this one for sure. 

The cute snowing dots and the little houses are so cute!

This quilt is perfect as a wall hanging and can easily be a decor for the holiday season.

Little quilts like this are fun to make, easy to finish, and can easily be hung up as decor pieces. 

Usually, I just drape them over surfaces like on top of drawers, side tables, and sofa.

Do you like little quilts?

This quilt tick all the fun sewing, the blocks were surely fun to make. My favorite has to be the mug though!

By the way, are you sewing along this year’s Mystery Quilt-a-Long?

I made last year’s Mystery quilt in Winter Colours which you can check out HERE>

This year I am using SweetWater Snowkissed Collection.

You can check out the Sweetwater Snowkissed Christmas fabric collection HERE>

Finally, I got this Scrappy Pouch using the quilt as you go method tutorial up! It was highly requested on my Instagram and I just had to do get myself to record and edit it. 

This is the perfect project to make with coordinated scraps you have leftover from a quilt project. 

Of course, you can use any scraps, but I do believe using coordinated scraps makes prettier pouches!

And if you ever made quilts using Tula Pink fabrics, you are surely to get bright pretty pouches. I absolutely love seeing the peek of fun motifs on my panels. 

I made many different panels and there are so many ways you can make a quilt as you go panel. In this tutorial I’ll teach 4 ways, but I’ll be sure to make more tutorials for more in the future.
