The Fat Quarter Shop has another Shortcut Quilt!
Check out the NEW FREE PATTERN....
It's called Layer Cake Custard Quilt and it's so much fun!!
When you need a quick quilt with a FREE pattern and video tutorial, a Shortcut Quilt is your best friend! And luckily, the Fat Quarter Shop LOVE Shortcuts!
There are over 20 quilt patterns, click here to see some previously made shortcut quilts!
But today, we are going to talk about the newest shortcut quilt, and I know you are going to love it! It's call the Layer Cake Custard Quilt, and it's great for beginners, or quilt pros.
There are a lot of fun fabrics that would look great with this pattern, but since sofa snuggling season is upon us, I decided to really dive into some fun fall colors for this quilt.
I really love fall, but only because I live just outside Austin Texas, Fall around here is beautiful, we still get mostly warm summer like days, with a mix of a few cool ones here and there. I hate winter, but I do love to snuggle up under a nice "krinkley" (I love that word ha ha) quilt, with my bulldogs.

The great thing about these shortcut quilts is you don't have to worry about what to buy and how much you need, or if things are going to match. These are very straight forward patterns! When I first started quilting, I had a hard time deciding how much to buy online and sometimes after I got the fabric, it didn't look as good together as it did in my head. That wont happen with these shortcut quilts.

I always tend to enjoy more modern fabrics, and for this quilt I picked out
Meraki BasicGrey for Moda Fabric for my layer cake and backing, and I used some grey Grunge for my binding. Meraki is a colorful mix of bright reds & oranges with some gold, blacks, and brown, and it all has great florals and shapes, it just screams fun to me!

Since I am also a Long Arm Quilter, I get excited about the quilting designs too. I only do custom freehand work right now, so I decided I wanted a modern rounded square for the stitches, and I really like how it turned out. I am alway up to take custom orders from new clients, so feel free to post a comment, follow me on social media, or shoot me a text. :)
