I have teamed up with one of my sponsor's Fort Worth Fabric Studio, and created this pattern exclusively for them.  Jodie (owner of Fort Worth Fabric Studio) and I had a great time coming up with this quilt for you!

I designed the pattern and Jodie came up with the fabric bundle.  Jodie is amazing at putting together fabric bundles.  I told her my vision of what I had in mind for this quilt and she pulled from several different lines of fabric and made this exquisite bundle for this quilt.

She has a knack for pairing up fabrics and blending different lines from different designers.  When I got this bundle in the mail, I was not disappointed.  Jodie worked her magic and made this bundle of reds and pinks and all of it is low volume at the same time.  They blend so beautifully with each other and she did a perfect job of doing a combination of solids and prints to make this bundle stand out.  

Needless to say, I quickly got to work and finished this quilt just in time for you to make for Valentine's Day!

This pattern is simple, yet versatile and you can pretty much make this your own by using your own favorite color scheme.  I decided on a pink and red color scheme because I love those two colors together and I wanted to make a Valentine's Day quilt, but keep it simple and modern so I could use it all year round if I wanted to.  

This quilt measures approximately  51" x  63" in size and makes a good lap size quit.


The best part about this quilt is that it is composed of one pieced block. That is really as simple a it gets.  What makes this quilt pop is the composition of the blocks.  The pairing of solid blocks and framed blocks in the diagonal layout really makes a fun, yet modern quilt.  It is also comes together really quickly!

I did very simple quilting on this quilt.  I chose to do "organic" wavy and straight lines.  I did them around 3/8" apart.  I love the effect and texture it leaves on this quilt!

This quilt was sent to the "binding fairy" to get it's hand binding put on.  (the binding fairy is my talented mom) She did a lovely job on the binding like always! :)

I absolutely love the backing fabric Jodie picked out for this quilt.  It compliments the front nicely and has a nice circle pattern to it.

Fair-and-Square Free Pattern and Video Tutorial

Hi there!  I am excited and also a bit relieved to share this pattern with you! 

This is a really fun quilt, and is a great pattern for a beginner quilter.  This is a very long winded/picture heavy post....I apologize in advance.

There is a video at the end of how I did the free motion quilting. So if you are just interested in the video you can scroll to the bottom and check it out.
