Fat Eighth Fruitcake with the Fat Quarter Shop

Do you ever just look at a pattern and think

"Oh, I have got to make that one?"

Well, that's a crazy question.

I think as quilters, we

are always wanting to make

quilts that are so eye appealing.

When I set my eyes on 

the newest pattern from the

 

I knew that I wanted to join in 

on all of the fun.

This one is called

Fat Eighth Fruitcake.

A fun mix of hearts, flowers 

and vintage.

You can find the quilt kit 

for the above quilt HERE. 

For my version,

I chose the fabric collection

Vintage Adventure by 

Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake.

You can find the collection HERE.

I absolutely love the fun vintage prints, 

but I also know that my 

husband love the old canned ham 

style campers.

Well, since he had been begging 

(Yes, I am completely serious)

for a quilt for our bed.

I thought this pattern was

the one.

Since each corner of the blocks reminded

me of a heart, I though what more of a perfect quilt to 

have upon our bed.

A quilt  with love!

Plus, I hadn't made a quilt for 

our bed.

(Don't you just love these prints?)

Well, the pattern made a nice sized quilt, 

but if you double the size, 

it makes a fabulous oversized queen quilt.

All 102" square of it!?!

It is absolutely enormous and gorgeous, 

and way more than me and my ole

machine could handle.

Don't you just love it?

It is sent away to the my longarm

quilter to make it all gorgeous.

I was hopeful that it would have 

returned before the hop, 

but it didn't quite make it back yet.

(I can't wait to show it to you all when it 

is all quilted up.)

Stop in at the Jolly Jabber 

to see other colorways 

and quilters make this beauty.

I am so looking forward to 

be snuggled under this very soon.
