S'more Rows.1 Fabric Requirements

Welcome!!

 

This is the first post in my S'more Rows quilt project.

 

 

I am glad you have decided to row along!~

 

 

Save the dates!

S'more Rows is an 11 month project.   On the 16th of each month from September 2013, until July 2014 I will post one step in the directions for my S'more Rows quilt.

 

The rows are NOT made in order of their appearance on the quilt.  Rather, they are arranged in order of ease of construction, with the easiest bits being scheduled over the Christmas holidays.

 

The picture above shows my original drawing  - labeled so that you will know roughly what to expect when.  As I made the quilt it changed just a bit....I think it got cuter!

This month I'm sharing the fabric requirements with you.

S'more Rows was inspired by the S'more Love fabric line created by Eric and Julie Comstock for Moda fabrics.  This line shipped to stores in August 2013.  My drawing is based on the fabrics in that line.  This does NOT mean that your quilt needs to be.

This is primarily a scrappy quilt.  You can make many of the blocks from scraps.  That said, there are a few places where the S'more Love line is obviously the focus of my quilt.

You need the following cuts from S'more Love to duplicate this focus.

SKU #	Description of fabric	Yardage needed	Where I Used it
37075-17	Aqua star bursts	1 1/4 yard	background for rows 3 + 7 blue diamonds in row 5
37076-15	green blocks	1 yard	background for row 10
37075-13	orange star bursts	1 yard	binding, and row 9
37070-11	multi stripe	2 yards	fussy cut for rows 2, 4, 6, and 8
37071-11	car stripe on cream	1 1/4 yards	outer border

If I could only pick one of these cuts of fabric, I would pick the multi stripe.  It is my favorite from the line.  The quirky drawings of Mr. Campy and his pal Mr. Chocolate add immeasurably to the charm of this quilt.

The remainder of the fabric used came from the following cuts

SKU#	Description of Fabric	Yardage needed
	S’more Love Fat Quarter Bundle	1 fat quarter bundle
9900-234	Bella Evergreen (dark green)	3/4 yard (inner border and setting squares)
9900-12	Bella Neutral (cream)	2 yards (neutral background)
9900-230	Bella Peacock	1/4 yard
9900-213	Bella Mustard (gold)	1/4 yard
3300-41	Bella Chocolate (brown)	1/3 yard

(The backing for this quilt requires 5 yards of standard width fabric.)


I promised a give away today.....so....leave a comment, tell me about something that makes you happy, and I will pick a winner to be announced next month...on Dad's birthday!!  The winner will receive this yummy jelly roll from The Fat Quarter Shop.
