Issue 6 of Fat Quarterly is out today. The theme this time round is alternative fabrics, which covers just about anything that isn't a quilting cotton (although, to be fair, we have a pretty awesome pattern using Verandah by Amanda Murphy which is a regular cotton).
I didn't have to think too hard about what I'd use - it had to be Liberty tana lawn really. Not that I'm obsessed with the stuff. Well, not much (alright, I'm lying, I'm a freak for it.)
My little quilt is lap sized - 60 inches square, and it's nice and simple. It would have been bigger, but I ran out of red and dark blue liberty prints (and resisted the urge to go shopping for more too - that's restraint). You could also use a jelly roll, or charm packs. Or scraps. Or anything.

The liberty bits are so beautiful set against the white. The proportions are perfect.

Gorgeous, Katy. I love the complexity of all the prints next to the cool simplicity of the white.
All the best,

Lovely quilt. I can hardly wait to receive my Fat Quarterly issue (it hasn't arrived yet).
Well done Katy! Gotta love Liberty. : )
another beauty Katy!
Who you calling little?! Hahaha! This is a perfect size for a sprite like me. Looove it!
just finished my first quilt, in no small part inspired by your good self.....thanks for the new addiction!
I love the roller coaster effect. I spied it in the fat quarter too. A brilliant job. Well done.
I need to tell you, Katy, that I love this quilt so much that I gave in and bought Issue 6 of Fat Quarterly, downloaded, and printed it today. I am SO eager to get going on this quilt! Tomorrow I just "happen" to be meeting my relative for lunch at a place not at all far from a fabric shop that is having a big sale! How convenient!
This is beautiful! Isn't it amazing how simple squares can be put together in a way to make it so impactful.
