Twin Quilts- Modern Barn Raising


Two Modern Barn Raising quilts from Fons & Porter's Quilting Quickly



Remember my goal of stash busting?  Well, these two  quilts really helped with that goal.
One thing I must point out these twin quilts are not for my twins but one for me and one for Meredith


Why?  Well, most of these fabric strips are from fabric shopping with Meredith.  I thought what a great way to take that memory and put it into a quilt or should I say two quilts.  

Most of these fabrics are Cotton & Steel thrown in with some long time stash fabrics.

This quilt on the left is my quilt and it is the quilting pattern the shows the ownership.  I love one called square dance and have used it on several quilts.  

This quilts is from Fons & Porter's Quilting Quickly and the pattern is Modern Barn Raising.  The quilt finishes a nice size 58 x 70 and is pretty quick to make.

A close-up of the quilting, my local long arm quilter is amazing.

Now to the quilt on the right, Meredith's.  I didn't notice until the girls were holding it up but one has more navy/dark fabrics.  This was not intentional, I just cut the strips and pulled them out of a bag.

Here is a better look at Meredith's quilting.

You will see this pattern again, I just finished a Modern Barn Raising for Kaitlyn.

One more look at the twin quilts.  So if you are looking for a quick quilt, head over and purchase this magazine.  I so enjoyed making this one and loved stash busting!
