In my spare time I make quilt tops for the Intermountain
Medical Center volunteer quilters. The first one I made was the Moonlit Dance
which I posted March 20. I had intended to do a pastel quilt next, but I wasn't
in love with the fabric I'd chosen. I stumbled on a Moda Blueberry Crumble kit
during the Utah Shop Hop last month. It used a fat eighth bundle plus some
border fabric, and would have made a 68"x68" quilt. I adored the
blues and tans, but disliked the fact that the pattern it came with would have
wasted nearly half the fabric. This traditional Shoo-fly block pattern used up
nearly everything with almost no waste. At 84”x96”, it will cover a queen-size
bed (or a king in the UK). The leftover scraps are tiny, but should be
adequate to make several log cabin blocks. Enough for a table topper or a small
wall hanging.
