The Great Outdoors Blog Hop with Island Batik

AAAAh! the great outdoors! We are seeing more and more research that says
 spending time outside is good for your mental health.
 A lot like quilting, in that way!  It is for me!
So on those days when it's just too hot to fire up the iron and sewing machine,
we go outside and enjoy walking, going to the pool, or tending to our gardens.



The great outdoors are what inspired the this hop’s theme.
Throughout the month of August, our Ambassadors will be featuring Island Batik’s newest fabrics, appearing on shop shelves SOON!
 See something you like? Ask for it at your local quilt shop, or request it
if you don’t yet see it. We have the most delicious collections to share with you!





The fabric that Island Batik sent to me is gorgeous!  It is aptly named "All A Flutter".
I decided to make this throw size quilt which I found in Fons and Porters Modern Patchwork. 
It is the January/February 2018 issue.  I loved the woven effect and decided to give it a go.

Iberian Tile Quilt



Ignore the person behind the quilt! But do take note of the butterfly in the lower right corner.


I guess our little friend was checking out the new flowers in the garden!


If you would like to win my scraps from All a Flutter, I have cut them into 2 1/2" strips. 
Also, you will win my newest pattern....Happy Go Lucky! 
 So please leave a comment to be eligible to win! 
Prize to be awarded at the end of the Blog Hop. 
Be sure to go visit the rest of the Island Batik Ambassadors for inspiration and prizes!
