Moda Bake Shop



Ruby, Pearl & Opal Quilt
I love the Moda Bake Shop site; it would be so easy to spend hours looking at the beautiful fabric and projects shown. I will admit to always going straight to the quilting section though! There are loads of fabulous free patterns shared by an array of very talented quilters. Most of the patterns use pre cuts - I adore pre cuts! One of my favourites is the Ruby, Pearl & Opal quilt designed by little miss shabby. I am participating in my first quilting bee and it's my turn to be the Queen Bee in December. It has been difficult to choose a bee block, but I have finally decided to use the Ruby, Pearl & Opal block in black and white prints, with one of the tiles in a tone on tone rainbow colour. Soooo...a tutorial will be forthcoming!

Have you ever participated in a quilting bee? What block did you choose?

    1. I love this Moda fabric line (though there are a few others that are just as gorgeous that have the red/aqua combo) - perhaps I can start gifting you fabric each birthday! The Moda precuts are brilliant - saves some time in cutting. This is my favourite place for buying fabric http://wantitneeditquilt.com.au/. Excellent value and Jane is just lovely!

  2. Oh no, I have a lot to learn before I can bring myself to tackle a big project like that! The piecing together I can probably handle if it's not too tricky a pattern, but it's the quilting at the end that I've never quite understood how to do. Of course, I could contract you to do that bit!!!

    1. It's the quilt top that is the most work. If I can quilt, then you can definitely quilt! Don't let it put you off (though a walking foot is a must - your machine may have come with one. If not, use mine!).
