I’m so excited to be part of Christa Watson’s Fandangle Fabric Blog Hop this week! Earlier this spring, Christa asked me if I wanted to use her new fabric line, Fandangle, in one of my patterns. Of course, I said yes, because these fabrics are just the kind of tonal fabrics I love working with!
I usually like to let the color do the talking rather than the fabric pattern, and Christa’s fabrics are just right for that. I especially loved that she included two grays, which made this line perfect for the design I had been working on. Her two multicolored prints, which I used in the small pinwheels, are just multicolored enough to tie the whole line together. The quilt I made is called “Pinwheel Rings,” and is based on the “Block and Ring” quilt block I saw in a charming antique quilt.
I had a couple of blocks in additional prints left over after finishing the quilt, so I decided to make a matching pillow.
Clearly, I need to make matching pillows for my quilts more often!
The pattern is available in PDF and in paper format and includes 3 quilt sizes—use code FANDANGLEHOP to get 15% off through Sunday.
If you’d like a chance to win a bundle of 8 fat quarters from this line, enter using the Raffecopter widget below! The fabric giveaway is open to U.S. shipping addresses only—but if you’re outside the U.S., leave me a comment with a fun fact about your country and I’ll choose a winner to receive a digital copy of the Pinwheel Rings pattern! And, be sure to visit all of the stops on the blog hop for additional chances to win.
Follow along on each day of our Fandangle hop!

Love your new quilt pattern. I just purchased a new pattern that is a updated version of the Churn Dash block that I think would look great using Christa’s new Fandangle collection. Thanks for sharing, grinnie1961 at gmail dot com

I have a quilt pattern called Timber which would feature the fabric line perfectly so that is what I would make with Christa’s new collection.

I live in Canada and how could I pick one fun fact? There is a world renowned garden in my city called Butchart’s garden. Such a peaceful and beautiful place. There is a heritage park in Calgary Alberta which has a really fun outdoor quilt show in May each year. We have an icebreaker called the Amundsen whose mission is science in the arctic.

Well I think your Quilt is quite Stunning and since you’re giving us the pattern, I know I would definitely make the quilt and the pillow set for a friend of mine name Peter Harmen Burke, whom is currently Fight Cancer and is in a great deal of pain. He is also fighting this Battle alone as he doesn’t spouse or children. Not even a car. But I’d like to make him a quilt and a pillow to match. I did and do want to make a cat comfort quilt but since you offered a pattern I’m willing to use it for his gift. Thank you, hope to hear from you soon.
Keta Caudillo says
I think you’re Pinwheel rings quilt is absolutely amazing. I especially love the grey that you applied to the vibrant colors to mellow down the tones. SO….Since I have not made anything for myself in a very long time. I would believe that this time O would have to be a little selfish and make this for moi. Yes…. For Me. Sweet little old me, since I just celebrated my 51 year old Birthday on Sunday July 15th. So wish me luck. I would love to make myself this quilt. Thank you ever so kindly for being a great Hostess.
