How many quilts is too many from one line of fabric? I don’t typically make more than one quilt using a fabric line, but this fall I seem to be sewing with two lines in nearly every project I make. I have five projects going with Bonnie and Camille’s Simple Abundance, and I’ve been sewing a lot with Mill House Inn by Joanna of Fig Tree & Company.
What started out as a layer cake and honey bun…has now become two quilts (well, one is done, the other is in progress).
I finished “Posies a la Mode” (pattern in Fresh Vintage issue 13 by Fig Tree & company) the other day and keep unfolding it to look at it. Such a simple design, and yet it is one of my favorite quilts…something about those posies! I’m going to make another posie and frame it for my sewing room…such a fun simple applique’ project, and perfect for a beginner!
And the honey bun? It will soon be my Cameos quilt (see a sneak peek of the whole quilt here). I’ve already made one for market in Joanna’s new fabric line, Whimsy. I loved making the pattern so much I couldn’t wait to make one for myself…Just wasn’t ready to be finished cutting those angles…and I used to have angle-phobia…with Joanna’s method…I fear angles no more!
I’ve got ten blocks finished, and ten to go!

Sinta Renee says
I have that Fresh Vintage… now I'm going to have to move that to the top of the list! It's just beautiful! I am intrigued by your other project!

What a lovely block and the quilt is so very pretty!
Coffee_Queen says
I love your Mill House quilts! The posies are so cute that I am tempted to make that quilt and add a posie to every other quilt block :-).
I love the Simple Abundance fabric too. Have you seen Anne Sutton's latest Yo-Yo quilt using Simple Abundance? It's posted on her website and it's gorgeous too!
Annette says
I love that fabric as well. They have such a peaceful beauty about them. Your quilts are gorgeous.

Hi Sweetie,
ooooh, how beautiful! And what a gorgeous idea to frame a little posie!
I think you can never have enough Fig Tree Quilts with any of Joanna's fabric ;o).
Hugs, Julia
Christine says
The fabric and your projects are beautiful.
Crafty Mama says

Quilter Going Bananas says
I adore Mill House Inn fabric too. And when I saw the Posie Quilt in Fresh Vintage I started drooling all over the page! Seriously! Love that you got that quilt top done. Can't wait to see the rest of the sneak peek quilt…
Quilt Hollow says
Very pretty….very!
Karen says
I think that your quilts will be very different even though they are using the same fabrics. If they were twin bed size, wouldn't it look good in a bedroom with two beds?
Thimbleanna says
You're having too much fun! I love this quilt — the little flowers are adorable!
Stephanie says
I dub thee Queen Quilter! Love the Posie quilt. A block would look so pretty framed.
Magnolia Bay Quilts says
I do love that fabric line. And your Cameo block is divine!
Nedra says
You just keep crankin 'em out! All are beauties.
Terriaw says
Such a beautiful collection to make multiple projects with. I love how those posies are placed on the white squares. They are lovely and give the quilt a cool effect. Gorgeous projects!
Kaaren says
Easy angles, huh? I'll take your word for it, Sherri. (wink)
I love the look of all the Fig Tree lines of fabric. They are very vintageand shabby looking at the same time and seem to go with any decor.
Thanks for sharing the eye candy!
Nicole says
Your Posie quilt is just the cutest thing ever. Isn't it fun when the simplest things turn out so great?
ivoryspring says
Oh, your posie quilt is sooooo sweet!

You can never go wrong with those fabric lines, especially when you love them! So…there is no such thing as "too many"!
XOXO!

Rae Ann says
The fabric is gorgeous and the quilts are stunning! I love it all!
Stina says
Thats it.. I have to buy that fabric… *S* Gorgeous quilt.. :o))
Rene' says
No, you can not have too many quilts from the same fabric line, especially when they are this beautiful. I can see why you'd want to make more than one. It is hard to believe that applique pattern is easy enough for a beginner. It looks difficult, but beautiful.
Carrie P. says
I love the fabric too and your quilt is so beautiful.
Peg - Happy In Quilting says
Gee Sherri what can I say…gorgeous and I love the quilt and the new project…
