We are so delighted to be a part of the Quick Column Quilts blog tour!! The ever wonderful, lovely, and talented Nancy Zieman is celebrating the upcoming release of her newest book, Quick Column Quilts.
The book features patterns for 13 different quilts, all done 'column' style. Which makes it soooo much easier to put together! This book is perfect for those that haven't quilted before, but are ready to give it a whirl, or for the seasoned quilter that wants a fun, fast project.
We chose to make the "Carefree Column Quilt" out of Pam Kitty Picnic fabrics. Except for the sashing, binding, and backing the rest of the quilt is made with fat quarters. Always a plus, right? The quilt came together in one day with no problem. The quilt patterns are for many different size quilts (the Carefree quilt is lap size). We are thinking these would make darling baby blankets...
One of the things we loved about the book is the diagrams. Call us goofy, but diagrams really can help a body out. The ones in Nancy's book are spot on, making it a cinch to lay out!
You all want a copy, right? The good news is that Nancy is having some fabulous giveaways coinciding with the blog tour, so run on over, check out the prizes, and sign up!!! (Psst... and you can pre-order her book here.)
Be sure to check out all the other quilts on the blog tour....

Love your quilt. Glad you used a different background. Sometimes I get tired of seeing white all the time.

Your quilt is so pretty and feminine. I like designs that let the fabrics do the talking!
