✨Star Spangled✨has been so fun to sew with, es ✨Star Spangled✨has been so fun to sew with, especially since I am up to my eyeballs in patriotism and celebrating our country around here. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙 In Utah where I live, each city throws their own summer festival complete with fireworks and parades, each a different weekend. From my front porch I can see the firework shows of the surrounding five or six cities and so it sometimes seems like I’m getting my own personal display each weekend🥰 ❤️🤍💙 ✨Coming March 2025✨ Star Spangled by April Rosenthal for Moda—Preorder now with your @ModaFabrics rep or online ❤️🤍💙 #StarSpangledFabric #ModaFabrics #FabricAndQuilting #QuiltLove #ShowMeTheModa #QuiltingLife #FabricAddict #QuiltFabric #FabricDesign #PatrioticFabric #RedWhiteBlue #QuiltFabric #ModernQuilting #AprilRosenthal #Handmade #PatchworkFabric #AmericanQuilting #FabricInspiration #QuiltMaker #QuiltingFriends #PrairieGrassPatterns #Quilt #Fabric #AmericanaQuilts #AmericanFlagFabric #LibertyQuilting #FourthOfJulyFabric #PatrioticPatchwork #Quiltersofinstagram #FatQuarterBundle

Are you a bundle hoarder? Is it hard for you to un Are you a bundle hoarder? Is it hard for you to untie that ribbon? I’ll admit it, I always hold my breath a little and wonder if I’ll regret cutting into my bundles…but I never ever do. Working with those pretty fabrics is so much fun and seeing the prints in an actual quilt is so much better than just on the shelf ❤️🤍💙 ✨Coming March 2025✨ Star Spangled by April Rosenthal for Moda—Preorder now with your @ModaFabrics rep or online ❤️🤍💙 #starspangledfabric #aprilrosenthal #modafabrics

Name that movie! Comment with your favorite quote Name that movie! Comment with your favorite quote from the mystery movie for bonus points. :) ❤️🤍💙 There’s a classic movie that we watched as kids that has a scene I will never forget. Children are running and playing, weaving through potluck tables set up in a cul-de-sac while the dads grill burgers and the moms fuss with the table settings and chat with each other. Overhead, fireworks are going off in the sky and the teen boys are throwing a baseball. That nostalgia for fireworks and summer nights inspired Star Spangled, my latest Red, White and Blue collection. With lots of love for my country and flag, and the perfect retro prints and florals to evoke some treasured memories, this collection is sure to find its’ way into every corner of my home during the summer months. I hope it inspires many quilts and projects for you, too! ❤️🤍💙 ✨Coming March 2025✨ Star Spangled by April Rosenthal for Moda—Preorder now with your @ModaFabrics rep or online ❤️🤍💙 #StarSpangledFabric #ModaFabrics #FabricAndQuilting #QuiltLove #ShowMeTheModa #QuiltingLife #FabricAddict #QuiltFabric #FabricDesign #PatrioticFabric #RedWhiteBlue #QuiltFabric #ModernQuilting #AprilRosenthal #Handmade #PatchworkFabric #AmericanQuilting #FabricInspiration #QuiltMaker #QuiltingFriends #PrairieGrassPatterns #Quilt #Fabric #AmericanaQuilts #AmericanFlagFabric #LibertyQuilting #FourthOfJulyFabric #PatrioticPatchwork #Quiltersofinstagram #FatQuarterBundle

It’s Blockheads Wednesday! Do you have any tips It’s Blockheads Wednesday! Do you have any tips for using directional fabrics in your blocks? I’ve been driving all across our valley watching soccer games but these blocks have been a fun little sewing moment for me. I actually made last weeks blocks last Monday (designer perk :)) but didn’t get pictures taken until today 🤭😂 I had so much fun working with directional fabrics for my blocks for today! I find that a little planning ahead makes all the difference, especially when cutting directional fabrics. For most blocks I just get piecing but when I know I want a specific look I definitely lay everything out and make sure to cut my pieces so that the directional prints flow! On both my block 2 blocks, I used directional prints—in the 12” block I used the Lunar print from #starryskyfabric and I used the Pine Trees print from #candycanelanefabric—see how fun those prints are all facing the same direction? I also fussy cut the center squares. Those prints are from Starry Sky and #xoxofabric ❤️ ❤️ I’m using the patriotic and holiday #twinklefabric prints for backgrounds—did you know those are a basic at @modafabrics ? They are my very FAVORITE backgrounds. The other two red prints in block two 12” are from my #orchardfabric and the other red and the light green in the 6” block are from my #lovelilyfabric collection. ❤️ The red plaid in block 1 is from my #mamascottagefabric and the greens are Twinkle fabric (basic) and Candy Cane Lane. The blues in block 1 are from Starry Sky, the red is from xoxo fabric, and the center is from #berrybasketfabric 😅I made it! ❤️ #modafabrics #showmethemoda #aprilrosenthal #prairiegrasspatterns #modablockheads #modablockheads5 #quiltalong #patchwork #quilting

Did you know there are a few cool eclipses coming Did you know there are a few cool eclipses coming up? In most parts of North America you'll be able to see one the morning of October 14th! I designed this quilt while thinking of the eclipse I saw years ago, and I'm really excited to see one again--will you be checking out the eclipse? There will be another one next spring, in April for parts of Mexico and the United States.⁣#eclipsequilt #starryskyfabric #showmethemoda #modafabrics #aprilrosenthal #prairiegrasspatterns #bluequilts #starquilts #quilting #quiltlover #quiltyfun #quiltpatterndesigners #quiltpatterns #quiltsofinstagram #quiltingfabric #quiltingfun #stars #moon #sun #quilter #eclipse
