Sometimes, even more advanced quilters get real joy from a simple pattern. This is one of those! I love it!! What a terrific baby quilt up to a full adult bed quilt! Thank you!

[@maryb1111]

So very true Sharon!

[@brendabornsheuer5172]

Yes! We all need something like this as a pallet cleanser. So fun!!

[@jonellwagner9871]

Good Morning Kimberly, This is a really cute quilt❣️ It would be a quick quilt to whip up on Saturday for the International Quilt Day. I hope you a wonderful Week. ❤️, Chris

[@pamkahmann3833]

I think this would be a great quilt to put out on the patio for those early spring evenings that you need a little cover-up. So summery looking. I actually have this fabric!! Thank you for the tutorial and the free pattern. Very kind of you.

[@theresabaethke4983]

After all the complicated blocks I have been doing lately this sounds like a nice restful project!

[@robertaarrowsmith2860]

I LOVE THIS QUILT! Quick, easy, and lovely. Thank you, Kimberly. 🥰🧵🪡

[@sheliaheverin8822]

Just bought the layer cake, I still have a layer cake from her first line. I may add them together to make a queen. Love this fabric, reminds me of my teenage years.

[@denisepineda1788]

I love this quick and easy pattern! As soon as I saw that fabric, I thought it looked like a Maureen McCormack quilt fabric. You gotta love those bold florals! Thanks for the great video! I enjoy this series of videos.

[@carolynslover9496]

Love, love how simple your directions are without all the unnecessary chattering which to me is very distracting. Thank you, thank you for making it simple and to the point.

[@kaylac3367]

Love this. This pattern is good for those bug beautiful prints that you really don't want to cut up very much. Thanks Kimberly!

[@michele.the.quilter6174]

I made a Layer Cake Lemonade quilt two months ago for our Guild’s charity project for Hospice. It was so easy and came out beautifully. Thank you for the patterns! 💕🧵👏

I love this for a quick quilt that looks more complicated. I appreciate that it includes different size choices.

[@liannesterkel2590]

This quilt pattern will be perfect for a large print Layer Cake in my stash that I had actually gotten from the Fat Quarter Shop! Thank you, Kimberly!

Great Inspiration!

[@aliciahoosier8146]

Thank you for all the great videos and content!

[@JanePhillips-ij5gp]

Thank you for such a simple yet so effective quilt❤ - I'm using Tula Pinks Linework layer cake & it looks amazing, what a wonderful designer she is, those pops of colour are genius. Great tutorial, so grateful.

[@angelbev67]

I did this one by accident a couple weeks ago. It came togther so easy and I love how mixed it looks!

[@barbarawiedrich9699]

I have never worked with fat quarters before, this looks like one I might be able to do. I for sure need patterns. Thank you for posting and sharing with me. I have just purchased some squares that are not quite 10 inches but I think they will work, just not as big.

[@rosalindhb]

I love patterns with bigger cuts. Sometimes small pieces get to be too much.

[@larisasmith3413]

I just made this one using Firefly! Cutting again out of TP Besties

[@juliekoone3569]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mandyadams918]

Could make this out of scraps - would look great

[@konniebrockway3178]

It is very similar to MSQCs Double Slice pattern, which I have made. This one ends up with a larger block.

[@deniseguidry3763]

I still have her fat quarter bundle I haven’t decided what to use it for lol

[@mjcarpenter5976]

love this pattern! Are you starching the 10" square before you cut or starching the cut piece?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello MJ! Kimberly starches before she cuts.

[@mindygooding9458]

Great quilt!!! Thank you FQS!!! In the beginning of the video, what is the quilt in the background on Kimberly’s left side???😊

[@mindygooding9458]

Found the Blazing Star quilt. Don’t know how I missed it!!!❤❤

Would you recommend directional prints?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello E P! Yes you could use directional prints but it may take you longer if you would like your prints going the same way.

[@nancylyman5192]

Can you tell me what digital design was used for the quilting on the quilt? I love this quilt!

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Nancy! We do not have a name, we chose based on a screenshot from the quilter.

[@nancylyman5192]

@@FatQuarterShopTX Thanks for your reply anyway!

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

We were able to find the name for it. It is called Windswept.

[@nancylyman5192]

@@FatQuarterShopTX Oh my gosh-I found it! Thank you so Much! You went way above and beyond.

[@thinkingoutloud7425]

Do you use spray on starch then iron? Thank you...

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Thinking out loud! Yes, Kimberly starches first and then presses if needed.

[@thinkingoutloud7425]

@@FatQuarterShopTX thank you, great channel...

[@abramsseed1]

Ok, wait.back up .. I would like the pinwheel pattern on the right side of screen also. Is there a pattern for it?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello abramsseed! Yes, we have a link for the Blazing Star Classic & Vintage Quilt Pattern (PDF) - bit.ly/3EyC2WN

[@abramsseed1]

thanks so much :)@@FatQuarterShopTX

[@beverlydavis5142]

But I have a question I know you starch all of your fabric before you use it. What do you do when it shrinks

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Beverly! Kimberly expects it to shrink so she makes sure she orders enough fabric to have the cut sizes that she needs. If she has a jolly bar quilt she usually buys a layer cake instead.

[@beverlydavis5142]

Yeah, I found that out the hard way my jelly bar shrunk and I didn’t have enough to finish my quilt blocks until I get more. Thank you for the advice.

[@michellehall4502]

Could I use fat quarters instead of a layer cake?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Michelle! Yes, you would just need to adjust the requirements.

[@IRISHLASS273]

Try as I might I cannot download this pattern. Please give me the link.

Hi Janet McCartaig, here is the link that is located in the description box: bit.ly/3msDCTJ

Thank you! I knew FQS wouldn't ignore my message.

[@winningnumbers]

So I can make blocks now., what step next please? fusion fabric? make the back of the quilt, binding? etc. You don't show these steps. All I see is various patterns to make blocks. Thank you for replying in advance

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Fernando! We have the instructions listed in the pattern. bit.ly/3msDCTJ We used one fabric for the background so we didn't film it but we have a start to finish series here that can help kzbin.info/aero/PLNTabBf7OG9I-atRF_8tbCEX0Oq1TYaat
