Planted Quilt

I meant to post this last month but whew...it flew by.  We had company from out of town, baseball, birthdays (Jane my youngest turned 6!), and now I feel like a whole years worth of activities are crammed into the last two weeks of school.  Two more weeks and then I can sleep in an extra hour each morning and our food bill doubles with the kids home all day!   

This quilt is my Planted pattern, made with Forget-Me-Not fabrics.  

I made this quilt with 10" precut squares, but you can also make it with 12 fat quarters.  You'll use every smidge of fabric when using 10" squares, and it's a bit easier to cut out with fat quarters.  

My post for Forget-Me-Not fabric is here if you missed it, it comes to stores in October. 

I procrastinated making this one a little too long and ran out of time to send it to a quilter, so I quilted this one myself on my machine.  My shoulders hated me for a few days afterwards!  

The backing is a plaid from the same fabric line.  I had a lot of questions about which white fabric I used in all of my quilts made with this fabric line, and it's this same Moda Bella Solids Off White 9900-200 I've used in all of my quilts for years.  I just saw it's on sale this month here (now it's out of stock but check back!). 

Planted can be found here as a PDF, or here as a Paper pattern.  

I'm off to a choir concert tonight and hopefully spending some time clearing off my cutting table so I can start a new quilt.  When life is extra crazy why not start another quilt right?!
