I'm sure you've heard of Christmas in July, but what about Halloween in April? That might not be a thing but a super fun Halloween collection has just started arriving in quilt shops and I think it's going to be a really popular one! I was excited for Lella Boutique's Hey Boo collection for Moda Fabrics from the moment it was first debuted several months ago. It's finally here and if you like it as much as I do, make sure you run to your favorite quilt shop and grab some because I'm pretty sure it won't be around for long!

If you love this fabric, but need some ideas for what to make with it, I've got you covered! Keep reading to check out some of my quilt patterns that I've refreshed with Hey Boo!

Fabric Refresh - Flower Girl by My Sew Quilty Life for Moda Fabrics

I'm back with another Fabric Refresh blog post and this one is slightly different than usual. I normally don't feature a fabric collection that isn't available in shops yet. However, today I'm featuring a gorgeous collection by Heather Briggs of My Sew Quilty Life called Flower Girl. This debut collection is scheduled to arrive in shops this month, but as far as I can tell, it has not yet.

So why I am sharing the patterns I've refreshed in Flower Girl now? Well, I get Heather's newsletter and she mentioned a couple weeks ago that she has heard from some shops that they're already selling out. Since the fabric isn't in shops yet, I'm guessing that they are selling out with preorders. I'm sure there will be shops who don't do preorders who will have it available once it starts shipping to shops, but I figured if you get inspired by any of these mockups and want to make sure you get the fabric to make it, you might want to preorder it too.

Now let's get to the quilts! I can see why Flower Girl is turning out to be so popular. It is so soft and pretty and I had a great time playing with these fabrics in EQ8! So far, I've managed to avoid buy any because I definitely do not have time to be making any of these quilts myself. We'll see if I can continue to resist; I don't always have great luck with that!

If you really want to showcase these lovely fabrics, a Stay Square quilt would be a great option. Grab a layer cake and keep most of the square intact so that the fabrics really become the stars of the show! I used a Bella solid called Circa Celadon for the accent. This is one of the coordinating solids that the fabric designer chose for the Flower Girl collection.

Fabric Refresh - Strawberry Lemonade by Sherri and Chelsi for Moda Fabrics

I'm back today with another Fabric Refresh post. Today's featured collection is Strawberry Lemonade by Sherri and Chelsi for Moda Fabrics. I have been waiting for months for this fabric to arrive in stores! It is so pretty and I'm actually in the middle of making a quilt with this fabric for a future quilt pattern. While I can't share that just yet, I can share some refreshed versions of other patterns. Let's jump right in!

These are the fabrics I'm using for a quilt. The collection has several low volumes as well.

Fabric Refresh - Jelly Roll Day 2023

It's that time again! The annual National Sew a Jelly Roll Day is tomorrow, Saturday September 16th! You can read more about Jelly Roll Day HERE, but basically it's a day created by Moda Fabrics to celebrate all of those wonderful jelly roll patterns and spend the day sewing with your favorite 2.5" strips. 

If you're ready to sew but still need a pattern to use, I've got you covered! This is the fourth year in a row that I've released a jelly roll pattern right before Jelly Roll Day and I'm hoping it's a tradition I can keep up. 

I'm sharing a special jelly roll themed Fabric Refresh post today. I've picked three recent Moda Fabrics collections (one is Ruby Star Society, which is owned by Moda) and have refreshed each of my previous Jelly Roll Day releases (plus a few others) in each of those three fabric lines! There's even a free pattern included, so make sure you scroll all the way to the end of this post!

If you're looking for refreshed versions of my latest pattern, Wayward, you can find those in a separate post HERE.

The first pattern that I'm featuring today is Ophelia, which was my 2022 jelly roll pattern. I still sometimes can't believe how just the right combination of block, sashing, and cornerstone arrangement can take a very simple, not-very-exciting quilt block and turn it into an amazing design! (If I do say so myself, ha!)

The first Ophelia quilt that I'm sharing is in Sherri and Chelsi's latest collection, Bountiful Blooms. This quilt always looks a bit like flowers to me so this collection full of flower prints is perfect! I even went with a yellow print for the cornerstones to imitate flower centers.

Fabric Refresh - Sunbeam by Rashida Coleman-Hale for Ruby Star Society

Happy Friday and welcome to the 5th and final day of Fabric Refresh Week! I've had a lot of fun sharing all of my refreshed quilts with you this week. To finish out the week, I'm sharing another Ruby Star Society collection, Sunbeam by Rashida Coleman-Hale. 

This collection wasn't even on my radar until a couple weeks ago when I happened to see a post on social media as it was beginning to arrive in shops. It immediately made me think of First Light, another Ruby Star Society collection from a couple of years ago. 

I missed out on that one but was playing around with it in EQ8 a few months ago for some reason. I used it to create a digital version of a future pattern and I thought about trying to track down enough fabric to make it. With the release of Sunbeam, I'm going to use that instead! I can't share that future quilt yet, but it would also look great in several of my current patterns. Let's jump right in (and be sure to look for today's coupon code somewhere in this post!)

My favorite quilt that I refreshed in Sunbeam is Scrappy Herringbone. I love this one so much that I got all the way to having all of the fabric needed in my cart before I stopped myself! I just don't have the time to add another quilt to my to-do list. Not to mention that I don't need to be spending money on remaking existing patterns right now considering I quit my job recently. 

Scrappy Herringbone is a layer cake pattern and this version is the larger size option (both the larger herringbone and larger overall quilt). It uses 80 squares so since layer cakes are 42 squares, you'll be able to leave out two pieces from each of two layer cakes. That means that even if the darkest black print in the collection is duplicated, you should be able to leave it out and still have enough to make this quilt. I did not use that print in this mock-up because I thought it looked out of place compared to the other fabrics.

Fabric Refresh - Lil by Kimberly Kight for Ruby Star Society

Welcome to Day 4 of Fabric Refresh Week here at Pieced Just Sew! I hope you've been enjoying the refreshed patterns in new fabrics as much as I've enjoyed creating and sharing them! Hopefully you've been enjoying the savings too with the limited-time coupon codes to my Etsy shop that I've been including with each post. Keep reading to find today's code!

Today I am featuring a recent Ruby Star Society release by Kimberly Kight called Lil. I'm currently getting ready to cut into this fabric myself to make a sample for what I think is going to be this year's jelly roll pattern release for National Jelly Roll Day. You'll have to wait until late August or early September to see that, but I have lots of patterns to share in Lil today to help you get your Ruby Star fix.

The first pattern I'm refreshing today is Easy Argyle, my only pattern that only uses yardage. It is very rare that I make a quilt with so few fabrics in it, but this is a great option if you want a really fast quilt without a bunch of different fabrics to worry about. 

I made two versions of Easy Argyle in Lil and the first is my favorite. I used the navy print with the apples and flowers and the dark gold/caramel colored print with the little white flowers as the two main fabrics. I used a pink print with a small scale print for the large diamonds and the white-on-white print with the small flowers for the small diamonds.

Friday Fabric Refresh - Stitched by Fig Tree

 Note:  This post contains affiliate links.  I may receive a commission if you click a link and make a purchase.

Happy Friday!  I’m back today with another edition of Friday Fabric Refresh, where I refresh some of my quilt patterns in new, fresh fabric!  Lately, I’ve been featuring a lot of what I think would be considered more “modern” fabric collections from Ruby Star Society and Art Gallery Fabrics.  While I definitely feel like my fabric style has evolved a little over the last few years, I still really love the more traditional styles like Fig Tree from Moda Fabrics.  Joanna of Fig Tree has captured that classic Fig Tree feel with her latest collection, Stitched.

This collection is so pretty and is perfect is you’re looking to make a cheery quilt.  The first quilt that I have refreshed is Stay Square.  This is a fast and fun layer cake quilt that really lets the fabric shine!  For the accent, I used one of the Bella Solids that coordinates with Stitched called Latte (Bella 9900-245).

Friday Fabric Refresh - Camellia by Melody Miller for Ruby Star Society

Happy Friday!  If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen the post that I made a week ago where I gave you an early sneak peek at one of this week’s Friday Fabric Refresh quilts.  If you saw it, you know that this week is all about Camellia by Melody Miller for Ruby Star Society.  

If you missed it, you can see that quilt below.  It is my Evening Glow pattern and I am obsessed with that dark green print from the collection as the background.  Like I said on IG, I am so, so tempted to buy myself a fat quarter bundle of Camellia and the yardage to make this.  I love it so much!  I really, really, don’t need more fabric though so I am trying to resist. 

Friday Fabric Refresh - Jelly Patch

Hello and happy Friday!  National Sew a Jelly Roll Day is tomorrow!  Hopefully you have your pattern and your jelly roll picked out and ready to go so you can jump right into sewing in the morning.  Maybe you are going to make a Jelly Patch quilt but you are still undecided on fabric.  I'm here to help!
