Dinner Party Quilt in Cozy Up Fabrics

 I have a problem with Layer Cakes (a.k.a. precut 10" squares). My problem is that I love to buy them but often can't decide what to make with them. So they sit there.

I even have a cute bin to "display" these Layer Cakes. But really...I'd rather put them to good use and sew them up into a quilt!

So my goal for the past couple of years has been to focus on designing patterns that specifically use those pretty 10" squares that we all love. 

Last year I released this pattern, Dinner Party. It uses Layer Cake squares, but there are also instructions for fat quarters or 1/3 yard cuts - if you prefer those. 

This pattern is great for showing off medium- and large-scale prints like the ones in this Cozy Up fabric line. (Cozy Up was designed by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics - you can find Cozy Up Layer Cakes here from the Fat Quarter Shop)

Cozy Up was a nice fit for this pattern with the large florals and those fun large gingham prints -- which I HAD to include in my quilt.

The Dinner Party pattern includes instructions for four sizes of quilts:

    - Crib (45" x 58")

    - Throw (58" x 72")

    - Twin (72" x 85")

    - Queen (99" x 99")

This is the throw size quilt which only uses 20 squares from the pack but still makes a large throw size (58" x 72"). Yep - that means you can get two throw size quilts from one pack of Layer Cake squares. Nice!

With these pretty, fall-inspired colors I knew this quilt would be used in cooler weather so I backed it with a charcoal gray minky. 

And I kept the quilting simple with some large loops. The computerized longarm design is called Wishbone and I found it through the Longarm League shop here.

If you make a Dinner Party quilt I'd love to see it!
