One of my new summer projects is going to be this pattern by Carried Away, called Window Garden. I have always loved the Cat's Cradle block and this will really show off a pretty fabric collection I plan to use.
Years ago I bought this Moda kit using a Lella Boutique collection called Farmer's Daughter. I have never made the kit, mainly because i just wasn't feeling the House block design. When I saw the Carried Away Window Garden pattern, I knew it would be just right for this fabric collection.
Don't you agree? I love the yellows, pinks, greens, and blacks. What I haven't decided is whether or not to use the XL Cat's Cradle tool to make the blocks. Each unit is 5", and I know they will come out great with the tool. I may have to experiment to be sure I have enough fabric first. With these trim tools, you get great accuracy but sometimes have a bit more waste from trimming.
Next up will be to get all that fabric starched and ready to go.
Finally, I have one last summery project that I hope to convince a few of you to sew along with me. In my next post, I will tell you more about it. It involves fabrics in reds, dark blues, and light blues, and is based on the Moda Bakeshop sew-along Summer In the Country, which happened a few years back. I always wanted to make that quilt, and think now may be the time for it. Click the link to read the Moda Bakeshop FAQ sheet and see all the free block patterns.

that house quilt does not look very interesting to sew. I made an entire quilt of houses from a miss rosie pattern during the pandemic. it is my homage of staying home to stop the spread.
