Blogger Choice: Julie Herman

450 Comments

The Fat Quarter Shop and Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts have teamed up to present you with a Fat Quarter Shop Exclusive!

Julie has specially selected 12 of her favorite prints along with 3 coordinating solids from our store for this special bundle you will only find at the Fat Quarter Shop.

Q: What will you be making with your Blogger’s Choice Fat Quarter Bundle?
A: I honestly don’t know yet! I have so many ideas that I might need to get a 2nd bundle so I can make 2 quilts. I don’t often get the opportunity to make one of my quilt patterns twice but I think this bundle would make an amazing Firecracker quilt.

Q: What quilt project are you currently working on?
A: I’m working on a few things right now.
I’m using an assortment of Dr. Seuss & Cat in the Hat fabrics to make a quilt for my niece.

I’m also planning out the fabrics for a 2nd “Lily Bag” as the first one I made has quickly become my favorite.

Prince Charming Fabric
Silent Cinema Fabrics

I like to lay out my fabric options in the location I think they would be best in the bag and then snap a photo.

 I wait a few days and go back to the photo to see if I want to make any changes and then I make the bag!

Hot Seat:
1. jelly roll or layer cake
2. planned or scrappy
3. prints or solids

Leave a comment on this post choosing one of each pair you think Julie would have selected. Answer correctly and you will have a chance to win one of her Blogger’s Choice Fat Quarter Bundles.
You have exactly one week from this post till the contest closes.


Good Luck!
