If you’re one of those quilters who can’t wait for fall, here’s a great project to set your quilting season in motion: Cozy Constellation by Sarah Maxwell is featured in the September/October issue of McCall’s Quilting magazine. She chose a mix of PRIMO PLAID FLANNELS: Harvest II fabrics. The four blocks, each 36” square, are sure to go together fast. Plus, a kit is available! Quilt instructions and kit ordering details are in the magazine.

Make It Molly B’s…
Pick up your copy of the August / September 2015 issue of McCall’s Quick Quilts today! It features this easy-to-sew creation by Dolores Smith (left) and Sarah Maxwell, done in HINT OF PRINT and CLASSIC WOVEN YARN DYES by Molly B’s Studio for Marcus.
Strip piecing speeds construction of this big, handsome quilt. The Lake Itasca king size quilt pattern (102″ x 126″) includes blocks in 2 different fabric combinations, which create a chain-like secondary pattern when set together.
A kit is available through Homestead Hearth.
Trendy Grey & Yellow for Spring/Summer
The new June/July 2015 issue of McCall’s Quick Quilts includes this quilt project from Homestead Hearth, in trendy grey and yellow coordinates from Faye Burgos’ GREY SKIES collection. We like the mix of a contemporary palette, the paisley, floral and texture motifs, and classic block styling.
Subscription issues began shipping April 21, 2015. By May 5, 2015, the issue will be available on newsstands, as well as in print or digital download format at QuiltandSewShop.com. Homestead Hearth also offers a kit for the project.
