Sometimes fabric picks you, and demands to be made into a quilt NOW! That's what happened with my Moonglow Happy Stripes quilt!

Happy Stripes is part of the Quilty Love Stash Buster quilt pattern series from Emily Dennis at quiltylove.com. The idea behind these stash buster patterns is that you can grab some fabrics from your stash and start sewing. This fun and modern quilt pattern works with fat quarters, layer cake squares, jelly roll strips or half yards and includes instructions for 8 quilt sizes as well as 2 bonus patterns!

Quilting should be fun and we give you easy quilting projects, quick quilting how-to tutorials, and commentary to keep you smiling till the very last stitch.

My love for solids, big blocks and sense of colour blossomed with these quilts.
