Take 5 Fat Quarters
Good Morning! Today is my day on Kathy Brown's Take 5 Fat Quarters blog hop! Kathy and I have been friends for a long time and I'm thrilled to participate. This is Kathy's 6th book with Martingale and it's really a great book. From the first look through the pages I knew it was a great book for quilters, right off I saw projects I wanted to make, and great for shops because it's a perfect book for classes and kits. And wouldn't it be fun to take the book and a kit and head off to sew days with friends!
On of my favorite things about Kathy's books is the introduction of each quilt and the inspiration behind it. When I saw Swimming the Side Stroke I loved it, but it was really the story behind it that sold me. She was inspired by the colorful swimsuits of her youth and right away I was transported to my own childhood!

Picking the fabrics.. quick and easy!
Clear concise cutting instructions. In no time you're ready to stitch!
The blocks go together so fast, and the next thing you know you have a quilt.
Darla quilted this quilt in an over all bubbles pattern that seemed perfect for it. I love how it turned out, so colorful and cheerful!
