A little Fat Quarter Fun

I’m still in the “mode” of using what I got and this time I dug into some FQS

I wanted to just have a bit of fun and decided to modify my baby stars pattern

Of course I used Accuquilt dies! (6″ and 12″ QUBE sets)

I knew it would be a small table runner, so out of one FQ I was able to cut out the large star and two small ones in green and then in light yellow the background for both.

with a darker yellow I was able to finish the background for the small star blocks as now the light yellow became large stars as well.

Then I quilted it with a new design I saw someone quilt on FB in the QCT group, the design is called “lather rinse repeat” by urban elementz.

I had bought it a while ago, but couldn’t get it to nest right- didn’t want to spend too long messing with it, but with the new QCT5 upgrade there’s something called power panto and WOW! I just used this design and tweaked it a tiny big and it nested beautifully!

The runner measures 12″ x 36″

Another FQ thing I did was to FINALLY try Connie’s fabric basket tutorial

I’ve followed her blog for years (and she’s followed mine too) and whenever she makes a new basket I always comment that I want to make one and I never do! UNTIL NOW!

It’s a great tutorial and here I enclosed the seams like hers but instead of using buttons I used some kam snaps!

My basket ended up tall and skinny, but that’s okay, it was a test and just for fun!

Thanks Connie 🙂
