I came across this book by Janie Lou at a local quilt shop.  It’s a great book for beginners because all the quilts in the book use some form of precut fabrics.  The quilts are fast and easy and can be adapted to your own personal style!

I had a fat quarter bundle of Cotton & Steele fabrics in shades of navy blue, teal, gold and white so I decided to make the “floating 8” quilt from Janie Lou’s book.  The colors in this fabric collection look fresh and sharp against the white and the navy blue.

I used the mustang fabric for the quilt backing.  Maybe I am really a cowgirl at heart!

This could be one of my all time favorite quilts!

I have another quilt from this book in progress.  If you give this book a try, I think you will like the results as much as I do!
