Fat Quarter Challenge - Fabric Selection

Tonight I spent some time splitting up my 25th and Pine fat quarter bundle into what fabrics I'm going to use for each pattern - thought I'd share my progress.

First up Vintage in the Simply Retro book

12 Fat Quarters

I decided I just wanted red/white/green in this one - using the white grunge for the background fabric.  I am SO excited to start this one - its getting cut and done this weekend!

Vintage Holiday

10 Fat Quarters

Will be my next one - 

 The Carpenter Star Quilt Pattern

8 Fat Quarters

AND last - but not least - Shine by Sherri McConnell

10 Fat Quarters

I quilting up a fun summery quilt from Shine the other day and I loved it so much!  Makes me way excited for this one!  

I'm sure I'll end up keeping one of these (maybe two?) but my plan is to make a few quilts to have on hand for Christmas gifts.  It will be hard to decide which ones to give away!

If you're on instagram follow and/or tag #christmasinjulyalong to share your progress on any Christmas quilt.  If you join the #fatquarterchallenge tag it and there will be prizes!  Join in on the fun!

Fat Quarter Challenge

I have given myself a challenge.  A Fat Quarter challenge.  I have a few bundles of 25th and Pine.

I love this line - and each year I always wish I had been more on the ball so I could give people a cute Christmas quilt December 1st to welcome in the season.  I'm never on top of my game - until this year!  So I'm taking this bundle of 40 fat quarters - and making multiple quilts to get the best bang for my buck out of this bundle!  

Here is my currently line up.  

Vintage Holiday

10 Fat Quarters

This quilt has been on my to do list for a long time - so I'm so excited to finally make it!

Next up is the Carpenter Star Quilt Pattern

8 Fat Quarters

I've made this pattern a few times - see here and here and I always love the results.  I thought how fun would a Christmas one be?  

Next up is Vintage in the Simply Retro book

18 Fat Quarters

I started this quilt in a fall version and LOVE it - this may be the one I start with because I'm SO excited for it!  Can you just imagine it with the white grunge and Christmas prints!

AND last - but not least - Shine by Sherri McConnell

10 Fat Quarters

This quilt has been on my to do list for awhile - and after quilting one up yesterday I have to make it myself!

This is using a bundle with 40 Fat Quarters - obviously if I do this again with a Solstice bundle I'll have to forgo one of the quilts.  But I'm so excited!!!!  Four quilts per bundle puts a quilt at $26 plus some background and/or border!  Pretty good deal for Christmas!

If you'd like to play along - I am listing my bundles here at a discounted price - just leave me a comment with your email and I'll send over an invoice - or email me abby (at) latimerlane (dot) com and I can get you a bundle.
