Get ready to fall in love with the newest addition to the Shortcut Quilt Series quicker than you can bake a pie. Beginners and quilters of all skill levels will be enamored with the Fat Quarter Quiche Quilt! You can start sewing Shortcut Quilts right away, and this one is extra handy for anyone who has a stash of fat quarters that you have been waiting to use. Our Shortcut Quilt patterns are always free, and they come with a Fat Quarter Shop YouTube video tutorial. ### What Makes the Fat Quarter Quiche Special? This quilt is a dream for anyone who loves quick projects. It is designed in four sizes: Crib, Lap, Twin, and Queen. With just 12 fat quarters and some background fabric, you can have your quilt pieced in no time. The pattern is beginner friendly, so even if you are new to quilting, you can tackle this with confidence. We sewed ours with the True Love collection by Lella Boutique for Moda Fabrics. The soft blues and lush greens in this collection lend the calming coziness of summer to this quick quilt. It feels like a gentle breeze on a warm afternoon.  ### How to Get Started If you want to make your quilt look just like ours, pick up the Fat Quarter Quiche Quilt Kit and matching backing set. Everything you need is bundled together, saving you time hunting for fabrics. The pattern itself is completely free to download, and the video tutorial walks you through every step. Here is a quick list of what you will need: - 12 fat quarters (your choice of fabric) - Background fabric (amount varies by size) - Basic sewing supplies (machine, thread, rotary cutter, mat, ruler) - The free pattern and access to the video tutorial ### Why Fat Quarters Are a Great Choice Fat quarters are a quilter's best friend. They give you more flexibility than precut strips or squares, and they are perfect for stash busting. If you love having a steady supply of new fabric, the Fat Quarter Clubs are the best way to get a bundle delivered to your door each month. Who does not love it when fabric shows up at your doorstep? These clubs deliver 12 fat quarters per month, featuring a new collection. Plus, you will save 12% off the price compared to purchasing this precut individually. ### Share Your Work We hope you enjoy sewing up this project and others using this free pattern.
