"A Box of Chocolates" in McCall's Quick Quilts

One of my "babies" arrived home, along with my sample issue of McCall's April/May 2011!


"A Box of Chocolates" is featured on page 8 and am thrilled!




I think they did a great job with the photography.  This quilt was fun - usually I plan out where every fabric will go in my quilts down to the last detail, but I just winged it with this one and was plesed with the result.  Kimberly, at Fat Quarter Shop, has kits ready to go.  Some SKUs of Swiss Chocolate are selling out, so make sure you hop over and claim your kit before they are gone if you are interested.

And just in case you prefer mocha, your latte might look like this...



Happy sewing!
Amanda

  1. The one in McCall's is just a bit different than the one I'm doing. I like it with the dark sashing, but I think I will love it with the lighter one. I also love that mine will have the flower petals. I ironed on some on one block today and it looks FANTASTIC! I am loving this quilt so far!

  2. Love the pattern and prints. McCalls did a great job with the photography. I can really see having it in my own bedroom now. WANT.

  4. The magazine spread is gorgeous! Congratulations on all your successes! I'm checking for the magazine tomorrow when I go out and wish I could order the fabric from FQ...i think I've ordered my quota of fabric for now (according to the budget planner--my husband).

  5. I really, really, really love this pattern. Between the ones on your side bar and this I'm so undecided as what to make. Decisions, decisions...

  6. Deb, FQShop doesn't seem to be carrying the full line, but Wonderous Woven Fabric has everything! Just in case your budget loosens up. ;)

  7. Fat Quarter Shop did have the whole line, but some SKUs have sold out, when they did, they disappeared off thier website temporarily. They should be reordering. There are still two mgazine quilts to come out for this collection and they are kitting one of them. But, yes, Wondrous Woven Fabrics has everything right now. Hope that helps!

  8. Amanda, is this pattern available from you? My sister (not a quilter) saw it and wants to know if I could make it for her. I know this was way back in the spring that the magazine came out. You can contact me at charlottemaxwell57@gmail.com. Thanks.
