Weekend 3-Yard Quilts Pattern Book by Donna Robertson and Fran Morgan for Fabric Cafe

Description

Three coordinating one-yard cuts, a free weekend, and eight quilts to choose from. Every design uses large shapes and straight seams with no half-square triangles, so the finished quilt looks more involved than it is to sew. The eight layouts run from calm coastal blues to bold florals, and three well-matched fabrics give the same pattern a completely different mood.

What the Book Includes

This listing is for the printed pattern book, not a kit or a finished quilt. The 20-page, full-color book gives all eight patterns with cutting charts, step-by-step assembly, and a color photo of each quilt. Every pattern is written for a lap-size quilt from three one-yard cuts, with enlargement instructions for twin and queen/king. Fabric, batting, backing, and notions are not included.

What You’ll Need

Each lap quilt uses three coordinating one-yard cuts for the top, borders, and binding. Backing and batting are separate, and larger sizes need more fabric (amounts are in the book). Strip piecing and stitch-and-flip construction mean no special rulers or templates, just a rotary cutter, mat, and ruler.

Perfect For

• Newer quilters who want a finished top fast
• Showing off a large-scale floral, panel, or batik
• Using a stash three coordinating yards at a time
• Quick gifts, charity quilts, and weekend projects

Why You’ll Love This Book

The three-yard method keeps the shopping list to three fabrics and the sewing to long, straight seams, so a lap top comes together over a single weekend. With no half-square triangles there are no bias edges to stretch and few points to match, which makes the designs beginner-friendly and fast for experienced quilters alike. The same handful of techniques carries across all eight designs, so each quilt goes quicker than the last and one book keeps earning its place on the shelf.
