Simply Flying Quilt Pattern!

Here's the first quilt in my 2021 Simply series. Introducing Simply Flying! I made this quilt top center (minus the border) in just under 4 hours this past Saturday! I used 9 different fat quarters and just over a yard of black fabric for the center of the quilt. The border was also just over a yard of black fabric.

This quilt could be made with a layer cake instead of the 9 fat quarters that I used. I'm pretty excited about using my fat quarter stash this year. I think the black and white of this quilt gives a super modern look! I added the border to make the quilt more lap sized versus a baby quilt. It would have been just as easy to make more blocks and make the quilt larger, but I didn't have enough fat quarters to make that work. I also flipped the contrast of the quilt from when I designed it and I love how it turned out!
