I love everything British!  British cars, British bands, British history, British dramas, British accents, and this amazing fabric that is coming out from Liberty Fabrics called “Hesketh House”.  It screams British countryside!!

And do you want to hear some AMAZING news???  Riley Blake will be carrying Liberty Quilting Cottons and they are the official distributor of Liberty Cotton in the US!!!!!  Seriously, I’m so excited!  The fabrics are a lovely quilting cotton weight, not “lawn” weight.  These fabrics will be arriving in stores in March!!!!!  I got to play around with this fun bunch of blue from Hesketh!  I wish I had yards and yards – I’m thinking vintage dress pattern!!

I sewed this fun little quilt using my “Fresh Eggs” Five Fat Quarter Fun pattern (which is a free PDF download, click link.)  I had 10 fat eights to work with and it was just enough!

I used a grayish tone of some quilters linen for the background – it’s very texture-y which plays nice with the soft florals!

Here’s what you need to make this quilt:

10 fat eights (5 dark, 4 lighter and 1 for sashing squares

1 1/2 yards of background fabric, binding fabric

1 yard backing fabric

I followed the instructions from the Fresh Eggs pattern, only using a fat eights instead of fat quarters.  I also used background fabric for the sashing as well.  The rest is the same as the pattern.  It was really fun to sew!  You can also check out my IG highlights for some tips on making the half square triangles in this quilt.

I quilted it with loops which turned out pretty cute!
