Hi, friends! I can't believe how much time has passed since my last post! I have been working on a king-sized gift project for the past couple of months and took a mini internet hiatus to avoid distraction (except for Instagram, I can't give up Instagram). It took way longer than I anticipated! The quilt went to the longarmer last week and is already on its way back to Houston. Naturally, I will be spending the next five days repeatedly reloading the USPS tracking page. I hope to be able to share it with you all before the end of the year.
This was my sanity project while working on the gift project. I needed something quick, easy and with a little bit of color. For this quilt top, I used Prairie Paisley II (Minick & Simpson), Blueberry Crumb Cake (Blackbird Designs) and half of Papillon (3 Sisters). I received all these fabrics as part of the Moda Fat Quarter Club at FQS. I never quite knew what to do with these fabrics, but they were all so pretty and soft that I couldn't make myself get rid of them. When they were stacked together, I realized that most of the fat quarters would combine nicely into one quilt!
I looked for a pattern that was a total fat quarter hog and wouldn't require any background fabric purchases. The St. Louis 16 Patch (tutorial by skburton designs) fit the bill! I love how all the fabrics work together and the red just makes this quilt for me. I am going to try to work as many of the scraps as possible into the quilt backing and I will by tying this quilt
Linking up for WIP Wednesday @ Freshly Pieced!

I'm making those 16 patches too.
You've been busy!! I love all your fun projects! The fabrics in your stars are perfect. Those cat blocks are really fun, I've never seen that design before.
Yay! So glad to see you in my reader today, I was actually just thinking about you the other day. I absolutely love your quilt photography! That sixteen patch is adorable, I love how easy those blocks are. I can't wait to see these other challenging quilts :) Also, as a side note, I saw one of your quilts on pinterest (not knowing it was yours until I came to the blog) and I was obsessed. Now I'm even more excited since I know it's yours - the baby one with Landon on the back. Amazing.
What a wonderful array of quilts! Love the sixteen patch, the blocks are gorgeous, the cats very cute, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the apples!! No wonder you haven't had time to blog! Looking forward to seeing your other quilt too :-)
All look lovely!
Fat quarter hog, ha! I can't wait to see the big project.
Glad you're back and all is well! I'm excited to see how that cat quilt ends up--so fun!
Good to catch up with you again Taryn you have been busy! Looking forward to the big reveal soon. Love your FQ quilt.
Very pretty quilts! The Moda fabrics have all coordinated nicely together.
