So, I didn’t make it to quilt market this spring, but a few of my designs did! I have been sitting on these quilt design for months, and its been driving me crazy because I love them SOOO MUCH! When FreeSpirit asked me to design with Tula’s upcoming Slow and Steady line I of course said (in a calm and professional manner) YESSSSS! I submitted a handful of designs, and they were given to Tula herself for approval. She liked them a lot, and made a tweak or two with color placement in the approved designs. She really is a genius of color, and I found the collaboration to be eye opening and inspiring. She is also a genuinely super nice person. I would buy her fabric based on that alone if I didn’t also love it so much. Then the good news came that they wanted one of the designs for a kit. I didn’t clue in until the market photos started popping up that it was one of the amazing pre-cut box kits! HOLY COW!
Seriously, thank goodness for social media, otherwise when would you ever find pictures of stuff! Yay for Instagram and a huge thanks to @swimbikequilt, @angelafmq, and @tulapink for posting photos.

Then there is the lovely Wall of Fame Quilt. This quilt is to be a free pattern download from FreeSpirit Fabrics. I will link to it in my patterns section once it goes live.
Pieced by myself, before Angela got her talented magical hands on it…..
…and after! Gorgeous quilting!
Hanging in the FreeSpirit booth. So many gorgeous projects. Check out those Umbrellas!
There is one more project that I made for this collection, but it is heading someplace else. I cannot wait to share it with you!

I keep looking for Fandango pattern, but I can only find the kit. Do you have any suggestions!
Hi Rebecca, Fandango is currently only available as the exclusive kit from FreeSpirit. I am unsure if it will ever be released as a pattern only, but you can always email them and ask =)
Thank you. I thought it was going to be released as a free pattern. I will email them. Thanks again!
Love the Wall of Fame quilt.
I downloaded it just now, and noticed the Fabric C could not be 1/8 yard – its in the stars all around the outside edge – am I missing something? I just downloaded it now, so i thought that would be the most up-to-date copy.
thanks,
k
Thanks for the CATCH!I will look into that ASAP
