Hello Quilting Friends! It’s Melissa Corry from Happy Quilting here, with you today. I am thrilled to be sharing my newest quilt finish with you featuring the adorable Fable Fabric Collection by Jill Finley When I saw this line, I just knew it would fit perfectly for my Petal Pop quilt pattern, and since I taught this pattern as a class at Garden of Quilts, I was in need of a new and updated sample. Truly a perfect match that made an absolutely gorgeous quilt!!!
This Petal Pop quilt pattern is so much fun to make and it is Rolie Polie friendly, so you can just grab your 2 Rolls of Fable (or any of your favorite Rolie Polie’s) and get to cutting and piecing in no time!!! All you need is to add some background fabric and binding fabric. I used Blossom on White Grey for my background fabric and I just love how it adds a little pop in all of that beautiful white space!
And while this might look a little complex, it truly is an easy beginner quilt. It is built much the way a Courthouse Steps block is made, only you piece the strips before adding them to your block center. And all those blocks come together to make an absolutely lovely finish.
And when it came time to quilt mine, I opted for a favorite of mine. The all over loose feather free motion design. I was in a super time crunch to get this quilted and this design has the added bonus of not only being beautiful, but super fast to quilt!!! I used my favorite 402 So Fine thread as it blends perfectly into the white as well as the prints.
And just look at all of that yummy texture. This quilt is so ready to be snuggled in!!! And the nice thing is, the Petal Pop pattern has multiple size options, so you can make whatever size you need. This is the Queen Size, but I have also made the baby size lots and love how quick it comes together, perfect for a last minute baby shower 😉
And speaking of how fast and fun it is . . . look at all of these amazing blocks that we made in the Petal Pop class at Garden of Quilts!!! Aren’t those just so fun!!! Everyone in class finished their first block, and several got the second done as well. That’s half way to finishing a baby size in one class time. Truly, super fun and super fast!!!
And that is my Fable Petal Pop quilt! I hope you have enjoyed this post and consider making your own Petal Pop quilt!!! And if you do, I would love to see them!
