The past few times I've released a new fabric line, I try to design at least a couple of patterns that use pre-cuts. This go around with Clover & Dot fabric I designed these Plaidy Cake and Windows quilts that I'll share more about below (knocking out two quilts in one blog post!).
Plaidy Cake was inspired by my Basket Case quilt, with a woven look and two fabric blocks. The blocks are rotated in the end to create a plaid look. This one would be SO good in Christmas fabrics!
Along with layer cakes this can also be made with fat quarters. I'd say this one is a little trickier than Basket Case since you have different sized pieces to keep organized, and some block rotation, but if you've made that one...this is similar.
Kait quilted both of these quilts and chose the quilting...it's perfect as usual.
Windows is my next quilt, and it can be made with a jelly roll, layer cake, or fat quarters. It's a great beginner friendly quilt, and a great basic pattern that looks good in any fabric.
This flower quilting design might be my favorite yet! So cute!!
Plaidy Cake can be found here as PDF, or here as a Paper pattern. Windows can be found here as a PDF, or here as a Paper pattern (but if you want either pattern...wait until next week when I'm running my sale!).
Clover & Dot will be out in March...which is insane to think that's only 3 ½ months away!!!

Thanks for mentioning your sale… I was half way to ordering already. Great new patterns, I want both!

Love both of your quilts and the new pattern line. I do think windows would work well done in scraps too. I enjoy looking at all your quilts.
Allison
It would be fabulous in scraps!
Lorraine

Allison
That one is my favorite!

I think you make the best patterns! ( unlike some others which don’t always work out).So easy to follow with great results. I have made two brightly quilts and now am starting a plaidy cake.
