City Quilts Blog Tour

We are so excited to announce that Fat Quarterly will be one of Cherri House's stops on her blog tour for her new book, City Quilts.

Surely you have heard of Cherri and the City Quilts book by now. Cherri is an amazing quilt maker and pattern designer with a specialty in using solid fabrics to great effect. City Quilts is one of the most talked-about quilting books to hit the market in a long time, mostly because of its combination of beautiful new quilt patterns and insightful tips into choosing effective fabric combinations, especially when using solids.

Every stop on the tour will feature amazing giveaways, including copies of the City Quilts book and fat quarter stacks of Kona Cotton Solids from Robert Kaufman fabrics for you to make your own version of a City Quilts design.

  6. I couldn't wait. I got the book the other day, and I'm already starting out with City Shops.

    However, that doesn't mean I don't want to follow this along and WIN some of those solids. *S* I'll give the book to someone. It's just a wonderful book.

  11. Wow her colors are so beautiful. I have been collecting pink fabrics for awhile but instead might look for kona pinks! Those kona blues are so calming. It is nice to see something so different and refreshing, clean lines. Fabric girl aka Debra in Hingham, Ma. USA
