Square Up Quilt – A Fat Quarter Shop Make from Brown Bird Designs Quilts

The corner of the quilt comes into view and is centered. At the bottom of the picture, that is all you see.  It is resting on a metal rocking chair.
A Joy to Sew!

I had so much fun sewing up this quilt, called Square Up, for the Fat Quarter Shop! This brand-new pattern is simple, beginner-friendly, and incredibly satisfying to put together. Despite its ease, it has a bold, modern aesthetic that immediately reminded me of a mosaic wall—structured yet full of character.

The Fabric: Bee Garden by Gingiber
