We are so taken with the cohesiveness of Amy Butler’s collections that we put together some pretty fat quarter packs. Each one samples from the Midwest Modern, Lotus, and Belle fabric lines. It’s amazing how they can be so different and still look so well together. To show them off, Michael picked 12 fat quarters and stitched up the Brick Path quilt. This pattern is a free download from Amy’s website. It is coming along beautifully!

One of our customers chose this as her first quilt project and had pieced the whole top in just three nights! To finish the quilt, Amy recommends machine quilting by “stitching in ditch”. Michael loves to hand quilt and is using Valdani’s hand dyed thread to outline each block. Either of these methods would be a great way for a beginner to practice their quilting.

With this simple pattern and well coordinating fabrics, your quilt will be enjoyable to make and look lovely. Have fun!
