Happy Friday, Friends! I hope you have had a good week. I am excited to share with one of my quilts made cover again in the current quilting publications!!! That quilt is mine, and it’s Pound of Sugar! A seriously sweet name for a quilt made with sweet 30’s fabrics, no? :)
This quilt uses the Feedsack fabrics from Windham Fabrics. And I absolutely absolutely love for it turned out!
I don’t have this quilt back with me because it is going to be displayed at Spring Market next month in St. Louis. But I am glad the picture shows the quilting details well enough!
Yesterday, you saw my County Fair quilt that is made of pinwheels. Pound of Sugar is ALSO a pinwheel quilt, except the way the pinwheels are constructed give an on-point effect!
The next editorial feature I have in the same magazine issue is Cozy Castles – a baby quilt that is made with 30’s flannel fabrics from Windham’s Storybook Flannel fabric line. Click here to view fabrics.
Incidentally, I designed a free-to-use sailboat quilt to support this fabric group. Click here to download pattern.
Missouri Star is also carrying another baby quilt kit called Starburst, for which I designed using the same fabric line! Click here to purchase the quilt kit.
I always love working with 30’s fabrics. I am actually hoarding 30’s fabrics to hopefully work on a quilt of my dreams…. when I retire from designing, hahaha!
Alrightie, Friends… I have to fly for now! I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Love this pattern and so glad I have the Easy Quilt Magazine. Can’t wait to try this pattern. Just love it.
Love, love, love all the 30’s fabrics quilts. You churn them out too quickly; I can’t sew that fast in order to keep up. And………way too many are “my favorites!!” Yikes!! I need 30 hour days!! Continue to inspire us, Wendy 👏🏻😉👏🏻
Pound of Sugar is a lovely one Wendy!
Congrats on your cover! Those 30’s fabrics are just too sweet!
Lovely quilt! So vintage…love it!
I LOVE it. The feedsack fabrics are just perfect for it too. Wonderful job.
I just love your happy patterns! !
Love your quilts! 30s fabrics are my favorites followed closely by batiks–both are hoarded here. You always inspire me! I need to find more time to quilt, but I’m feeding two bottle calves these days and have lots going on here.
Wendy, I too am a hoarder of 30’s fabrics. So much so that I had to buy a second storage suitcase for them !! Aren’t the flannel 30’s just the best!! Love your patterns!!
