Fat Quarterly - issue 16 - SCRAPS

The latest issue of Fat Quarterly is available today!Go get yours, it has lots of great scrappy projects in it, including this one of mine! I am SO glad I can finally share it with you! I worked on this quilt most of last fall.It's called The Whole Nine Yards because it uses nine yards of background fabric!It took a long time to make but I really enjoyed the process. There are loads of little half square triangles in there and I got to dig DEEP in the scrap bin.  

It's Atomic!

As much as I like the Atomic Pinwheels quilt that I made from the atomic fabric, I think I like this version of the Atomic Pinwheels pattern in solids more.I had fun with the quilting on this one too.This quilt is the "throw" size of Atomic Pinwheels and measures 58 by 70 inches.Listed below are the Robert Kaufman Kona solid colors and the matching Aurifil 50 wt threads that were used in this quilt.Eggplant      1240Peapod        1231lagoon         2810papaya        2140The Atomic Pinwheels pattern includes directions for five different sizes crib through queen and is available in my website shop.Next, I want to try a scrappy version.
