Heather's Favorite Bundle/Jubilee Quilt

Last year I was asked by Paintbrush Studio Fabrics to partner with them and curate a custom fat quarter bundle, Heather's Favorites, with a free quilt pattern, Jubilee.   This bundle is full of colors I use in my quilt designs and truly are my favorite colors.

I really love Painter's Palette solids.  They are a great quality-soft 100% cotton solid and even more exciting they are made not to fray as much as a typical quilter's solid.  This is a great benefit especial when using a color palette that mixes light and dark colors.

There are 16 different colors in varying values perfect for adding depth and movement to any project.  This bright cheery palette was perfect for my Jubilee quilt.  This design mixes half square triangles and quarter circles to create a party atmosphere or a feeling of celebration.

My Jubilee quilt is 56'' x 63'' and makes a great throw or lap quilt.  It is, of course, fat quarter friendly.  the free pattern is available for download at pbsfabrics.com.  I recommend downloading the file and printing it from your computer and not off the website.  This will keep your web browser from automatically scaling the file and printing the wrong size templates.  It is always good to double check the size of the templates after printing.

I really love this quilt.  With all that color it easily brings a smile to my face.  Obviously, the picture above was taken over the summer but I appreciate the pairing of my Jubilee quilt and a nice sunny day.

I used a mix of straight lines and geometric fan shapes.  I wanted to make sue that the quilting didn't stop your eye from dancing over the quilt as one color jumps to the front while the color you were just looking at receded.  I think keeping the background quilting simple and using shapes that echo the petal shape really kept the color palette as the star.

In addition to being able to buy a fat quarter bundle I also have Jubilee quilt kits available in my shop.  The kit comes with the entire Heather's Favorites fat quarter bundle, a printed Jubilee pattern, background fabric and binding fabric.  I would recommend a print from my Road Trip fabric line for the backing, which you can purchase separately in my shop as well.

As I mentioned above these colors make it into so many of my designs even into my fabric designs.  I love how my Road Trip bundle compliments the Heather's Favorites bundle.  I think I'm gonna have to make something mixing and matching the two fat quarter bundles.

I'm so happy with this new bundle and thankful that Paintbrush Studio Fabrics gave me the opportunity to curate a bundle with my favorite colors.  I know this isn't a conventional color bundle but all the colors were chosen to add depth and interest to any quilt.

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." Ephesians 6:12-13
