One Bundle of Fun
by Sue Pfau
Do you love precuts as much as I do? My new book, “One
Bundle of Fun”, has 12 quilt patterns that use one (or two) precut bundles of
fabric, and require no additional fabric to make the entire quilt top! I
thought up the idea for this book several years ago, but honestly I thought it
was impossible. Of course you really never know if things are possible unless
you give them a try. Much to my surprise, I did it!

| "Magnetized" is made with two Layer Cakes and measures 65" x 65" |
 |
| This quilt is made with 42 Layer Cake squares (one Moda layer Cake), and measures 48" x 57" |
When you think about it, nothing is easier than picking out
a Jelly Roll, Layer Cake or fat quarter bundle and then making a complete quilt
top with that fabric! Whether it be from your stash, your local shop, or the
internet, picking out fabric for a project has never been easier. More time to
sew! Let me also mention that I didn't use any special or unique precuts, just regular old precuts, mostly from Moda. So what I am saying is you can easily make these beautiful quilts yourself!
 |
| "Sweet Sixteen" is made with two Jelly Rolls and measures 65" x 81". There are also directions for making this quilt with one Jelly Roll, measuring 49" x 49". |
 |
| This Churn Dash quilt is made with 21 Fat Quarters and measures 57" x 69". This is one of my favorites! |
All of the Jelly Roll quilts are perfect for that pile of
strips you have been accumulating in your stash! One in particular,
“Striptastic” would be perfect to use as a group to make up some charity quilts.
It goes together fast, and it is 48” x 48”, which is a good size lap or baby quilt.
 |
| These two quilts require one Jelly Roll or strips from your stash. The entire quilt can be made in one day! |
The projects range from easy to intermediate. There are some
quick and easy patterns in baby and lap quilt sizes for beginners or quilters
who need to make a quilt in a weekend. There are larger, more complicated
designs that will challenge a confident beginner and teach them new skills
(half-square triangles and flying geese), and keep the seasoned quilter happy
as well.
 |
| Some people love the pastel version, and others love the bold colors of the Batiks. Make this quilt with 15 Fat Quarters! |
I think you are really going to get a lot of use out of this
book. If you like precuts, it will become a staple in your quilting library. I
hope you go back to it through the years and make many quilts for your family
and friends!
