Hi Friends! I’m writing today to launch a series of posts I have in store for this upcoming month, and they’re all about BOOKS! That’s right- it’s book season in quilty land, and there are some really excellent ones coming out. I’ll be dedicating several posts in August and September to a few of my favorites, so keep your eyes peels for those. So many fabulous books to pour over, and loads of amazing quilts- there aren’t enough hours in the day to sew what I want to sew this fall!
The first book I want to showcase is Fat Quarter Style, brought to you by the one and only Fat Quarter Shop! I adore this new book for so many reasons….12 darling and timeless quilts, including 4 size options for every single quilt (yes, please!). Where to even begin? I want to make all of them!
I’ve stitched up a block from the Marquee quilt- how simple is this? Such a quick block- just 2 little seams- and what a lovely geometric pattern it makes. It’s so crisp and modern, and looks like a really great way to show off some favorite fabrics.
But that’s not the only quilt I love. I really have my eye on the Primrose quilt- the flower one with the grey background in the photo below. AH! I can think of a zillion and one fabrics I’d use to make some big fat flowers for my Primrose. This one is definitely on my to-do list.
How about I give away a copy of Fat Quarter Style, right here, right now? You want one? Enter the raffle below, and I’ll draw a winner on Wednesday, 8/20/14. Good luck!

It looks like a great book, I’ve been following the blog hop on this giveaway via FQS and love discovering new blogs to follow! Love the fabrics you’ve laid out for the Marque quilt – it’ll look fab when it’s finished!
This looks like my kind of quilt book! Beautiful quilts from fabrics from my stash and in the size I want to make without a whole lot of adjusting on my part to the pattern!
The star quilt looks especially fun. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I have so many fat quarters (or that size pieces) that a book like this would be perfect. Thanks for telling us about this!! You always keep us so informed.
This would be such a fun book to read to figure out to do with all the FQs I’ve been hoarding!!
I’d try the raindrops quilt. It looks pretty simple and I’m just starting out in quilting.
I don’t have Instagram, but would love to win this book, it looks great for a beginner like me!! I started following your Blog too.
Thanks again for the Give Away!!

This looks like a great book! So many pretty quilts :)Thanks for the chance to win.
I would make the Marquee pattern. I love the way it shows off large prints.
I love the way that so many older quilt blocks are being revived into the “now”! Thanks for the chance, Dianne
This book looks AWESOME! I love watching your kids grow and seeing all the quilts you make. Your blog inspires me!
