I'm the last month of the Fat Quarter shops year of color bundles, and my bundle is, I'm sure you know....
Red!! I was so excited when the color choices came out and I was able to select the red month, yeah! I have a project you can do super fast to enjoy the bundle. Also it's fabulous to add to your collection to enhance your red stack. Mine seems get used up so quickly. Red Fat Quarter Bundle
Here they are .... so yummy!
For my project I'm pairing the red with pale pinks that I have in my collection. Looking to use up a few older pieces to make room for new. And in each block I used the essential white with small red dots
Because every project needs a dot!
I'm using my "Mending Basket" block.
Now trim away by positioning the line on the ruler right on your seam.
I'm using
This block is designed to show off the prints with as few seams as possible.
To be sure I am in the right spot for sewing units together, I put a pin through all the layers the peek to see that it's right where I need to be.
Then I use my laser beam on my Baby lock Destiny II to guide me right to the spot I need to be.
Makes it so simple as I don't shift over too far either way.
My block is called the Mending Basket block . So I quilted the spools in the mending basket block like it has thread
I used

This recipe fabric is my favorite!!
I quilted with 50 wt aurifil thread using my walking foot. You can see the outline quilting I did. It's effective and you can do this on your machine!
I had to finish this off with an essential lipstick red stripe.
I used my binding by machine method.. details HERE
Your 4 block quilt can be put on the wall or use for the center of your table.
At the end of the pattern is a diagram for making a lap size. This block is perfect for busting those larger scraps, now I want a bed size too!
