I am getting quite excited about sewing this new project. It is Summer in Kansas by Carrie Nelson. I want to make this quilt exactly like she did because I can't imagine it being any more perfect. She used two different collections, Canning Day by Corry Yoder in the photo above, and Summer Sweet by Sherri and Chelsi below.
You need a layer cake and a mini charm pack of each. These are older collections and I couldn't find mini charm packs, so I went with the regular size. These fabric collections are just so summery and fresh looking. The colors do not exactly match each other, but somehow they just "go".
You also need 6 yards of Bella 98, and two #11 Cake Mix recipe packs. No doubt about it, this quilt is labor-intensive, with all those half square triangles. Still, I think it will make a fun summer project. I know I posted on this a few weeks ago, but I am just getting in the mood to begin, I guess.
The pattern is free. Here is a link. Well, I have a lot of starching to do, don't I?
Have a great weekend everyone!
Those cake mix patterns and papers are so much fun! Your quilt is going to be beautiful. I too have joined the non stop fabric frenzy of online shopping!

Carrie Nelson is so good at mixing fabrics! I'd think mixing two collections from different designers would be a hot mess but this looks fabulous and will be fun to make.

It's great to see Carrie Nelson is designing patterns again! Her directions have always been well-written & easy to follow. The two fabric lines are really soft looking & I'll look forward to watching your progress! Have a good weekend! Stay well!
