Love Kaffe Fassett and purchased a fat quarter pack years ago. Love Jenny’s Beach Ball Tutorial and this seemed like a perfect fit. Also ruler quilted for the first time so it was a lengthy project.

I love the bold look of black and white fabric but I wanted to add a third color that wasn't red. I found a perfect tan color to complement the black. I felt that this fabric lended itself to a more contemporary pattern with clean lines...most appropriate for a young man. I found the perfect pattern called "Spring Thaw" by Fons and Porter. I made this quilt for my daughter's boyfriend as a Christmas gift. He loves it.

This quilt is made using the Tessellation pattern by Alison Glass and the Throwback fabric collection by Tula Pink. I picked a few coordinating solids and gave each block a color designation. My goal was to get a rainbow effect quilt with some awesome secondary patterns. I quilted this with straight lines as to not detract from the piecing. I also did a fun pieced detail on the back using my scraps. I still have a lot of scraps though! This quilt was entirely foundation paper pieced and after the learning curve, it was quick work. Pre-cutting all of my fabric pieces and organizing them by block and color helped speed things along. Surprisingly, it was piecing the blocks and rows together that took the longest! Some of the seams are really bulky but the quilting hides it nicely.

Used 9 Fat Quarter fabric I had, to make this quilt for donation to be raffled.

The fabrics were FQ's from a Secret Pal drawing in our sewing group. These were her fabrics. I added the hot pink fabric & gray sashing & binding. The pattern is Craftsman. I decided to do big stitch quilting in each block. I used freezer paper circles and free handed the rest. The quilt size is about 55 x 65.
