I love fabric in precut packages; even their names are delightful. 5x5”
squares are called charm packs, and 10x10” are layer cakes. Rolled-up 2 1/2x44” strips are jelly rolls.
Then there are mini-charms that are 2 1/2” square and jolly bars that are 5x10”.
Precuts are fun to buy, but when I get them home I often have no idea what I’ll
make with them. They lie around for months before inspiration strikes. Maybe
that’s why I’m so excited about Moda’s new Frivols. There are a dozen of them,
to be released once a month. Each is a lovely little tin with a window on top.
Inside are a pack of 42 7” squares of fabric from a single line, a quilt
pattern to use them, and a separate block pattern to make a sampler quilt after
you’ve collected all twelve tins. Today’s photo is the first block from the
first kit, which will make a 42x42” quilt, if I follow the directions, of
course.
