Summer Citrus

Summer Citrus was inspired by a bundle of fat quarters. We just love fat quarters and have designed many quilts using these wonderful bits of fabric. Fat quarters are approximately 20” x 22” [51cm x 56cm] and are great because they allow quilters to have lots of variety in their stashes without having to spend a fortune. This particular line of fabric by Heather Bailey has lovely large floral prints. We decided to create a simple block which showcases the fabric well. One of our students who tested this pattern made four quilts in various fabrics and each quilt was stunning! Try making Summer Citrus with a bundle of your favourite fat quarters – you might not be able to stop at just one!
