Easy As Pie Quilt Along {Plus a Giveaway!}

Hello!  My name is Jamie and I have designed a quilt for the fabulous fabric store 1 Choice 4 Quilting.  The fabric is called “Little Apples” by Aneela Hoey and Nicole has put together some fabulous quilt kits that include all the fabric for the top, backing, and binding!

The finished quilt measures 54” x 70” and is made from one layer cake and an additional 1.5 yards of solid (I used Moda Bella Saffron), 3/4 yard for the border and binding, and exactly 4 yards for backing. 

What I loved about making this quilt is how fast and easy it comes together, which is why I decided to call it “Easy As Pie.”  Since it’s made with a layer cake, there is no need to spend time obsessing about fabric choices, doing any complicated cutting or trimming, and the blocks and rows come together super fast!  This quilt is perfect for a new-to-quilting sewist or a seasoned pro who is looking for a quick quilt that is fun to make!  I have put together easy to follow tutorials with lots of photos, and if you are a beginner, there are videos you can use to help guide you step-by-step through the process!

You can find those quilt kits here.  The price is an amazing $67.99 for all the fabric you need to complete the entire quilt!!!  Nicole has even given you the option of picking your own backing fabric so you can customize your kit!  And while you are browsing, check out the newest Moda releases like Snap Pop, PB & J, and Spring House.  1 Choice 4 Quilting has same day shipping if you place your order before 4pm EST and all orders over $50 SHIP FOR FREE!!!  Yes, you heard that right, free priority USPS shipping for orders over $50!!!  It’s not that hard to spend $50 on quality quilt shop fabric, right?
