Happy Friday!  I'm cutting it close but I'm squeezing in a Christmas in July version of Friday Fabric Refresh on the last Friday of the month.  There are always lots of new Christmas fabrics arriving in quilt shops this time of year.  I decided to choose three collections in three different styles and share some refreshed quilts in each.  

Christmas in the City is a modern line from Art Gallery Fabrics that is currently shipping to shops.  Christmas Stitched is a traditional collection from Fig Tree for Moda Fabrics should also be arriving soon.  And finally, Pixie Noel 2 by Tasha Noel for Riley Blake Designs, which is available now, sort of falls in between modern and traditional.  There might be a name for that particular style, but I'm not sure what it is.  If you know, please let me know in the comments!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Stay Square Quilt Pattern Round-up

Happy Friday!  Lately I've been thinking a lot about my Stay Square pattern.  It has been my most popular pattern release by far.  I shared a reel on Instagram this week of the quilt I made with Spooky 'n Sweeter and I was thinking back on all the mockups I have made of Stay Square.  I don't think I've ever tried a fabric collection that didn't look great with this pattern.  I decided to try something a little different for this week's Friday Fabric Refresh blog post and do a sort of "round-up" of all my Stay Square mockups.  Many have been shared before, but there are a few new ones that you are seeing here for the first time! 

There are going to be a lot of pictures in this post and not too many words.  I'm going to skip the commentary and just give you the fabric information and a link to the original blog post that the mockup appeared on, if applicable.  Since it may get a little confusing as you scroll through, I will be placing the fabric name below each mockup.  

A quick note about fabric requirements.  Some of these fabric collections do not have precut 10" squares (layer cakes) available.  The pattern does include instructions for fat quarters.  You need 12 but feel free to use more for more variety.  If a collection has less than 12 fabrics or less than 12 that you want to use, another option is to buy 9 half yards (or 1/3 yards if your quilt shop will cut that size) and cut four 10" squares from each.

Enjoy!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Ghost Town by Dana Willard for Figo Fabrics

Happy Friday!  There are only 107 days until Halloween so it's time to start working on those spooky projects!  Luckily, the Halloween fabric collections are showing up in quilt shops.  One of my favorite new collections is Ghost Town by Dana Willard for Figo Fabrics.  Adorable cats, cute ghosts, colorful bats, and some great blenders make up this collection.  

If you have been to my blog before, you probably know how this works.  I used my Electric Quilt 8 software to refresh some of my patterns with Ghost Town fabric.  I could never make all of the quilts that I want to make, so sometimes I have to settle for making digital quilts!  I'm sharing them here in case you do have time and want to make one of my patterns in Ghost Town while seeing how it will look before you start.
