Folksy Florals - Petunia Quilting Cotton Collection

PHEW! I have to say the Christmas Holidays were something of a blur. Two days before Christmas, my partner and I came down with the Flu! It was that horrible one with headaches and chills. Which of course meant Christmas was a bust, but we made the most of it :) Then, in early January it was my Birthday and we had tickets to see the stage version of My Neighbour Totoro in London…our plans were nearly scuppered due to the train strikes. However, we managed to drive across the center of London to make it to our destination - we saw all the tourist sites on our travels. The show was incredible, I’ve been a big fan of Studio Ghibli since I was a child. Now we're past that busy period, it's great to get back to the shop and welcome a new fabric collection - Petunia by Kimberly Kight For Ruby Star Society.

As mentioned above, Petunia features three Gingham prints which I think are perfect for making quilting binding - or would even look great as a quilt backing! The Petunia collection is a fantastic mix of prints & mixers making it perfect for all sorts of projects. 

Fat Quarter? Charm Pack? Jelly Roll? What does it all mean?! Whether you’re a beginner Quilter or a seasoned pro, pre-cut names can be confusing. You might be asking what EVEN is a Pre-cut??

A pre-cut is the name given to a bundle of fabric that has been cut to a uniform size and sold together, simply put it is quilting fabric that has been cut for you. They come in a variety of sizes, including Fat Quarters, Fat Eighths, Jelly Roll/Design Rolls, Layer Cakes, Charm Packs & Mini Charm packs. They normally contain fabrics from one designer collection meaning the fabrics coordinate together. You also might be asking why you would want the fabric cut for you? Well, they can be a huge time saver! Say, a quilt is using lots of 5” square blocks. Instead of having to cut them all (and be accurate!), you could just use a Charm Pack! They’re also super beginner-friendly. These Petunia precuts are just perfect for your projects!

As usual, I have fabrics from The Petunia collection available to purchase by the quarter metre.

All fabrics, unless otherwise stated are 110cm wide and 100% cotton. Fabrics are sold in quarter metre (25cm) increments and the first quarter being a fat quarter. Each quantity of “1” is a quarter metre and fabric is will be cut in one continuous piece. 
 

if you’d like to purchase a long quarter (25x110cm) in instead of a fat quarter please leave a comment when checking out, or send an email to becca@flosscandy.co.uk with your order number and let me know. Unfortunately, once your order is processed this can’t be changed.

The Looper quilt is a fun modular design that uses curves and blocks to create fun rainbow quilts. It's been very popular online as it's so versatile! I've mocked up some designs using the Petunia Quilting Cotton collection - they all look so different! I have the paper pattern available to purchase - just click the link above.
