Stronger Together 2022

Join Fat Quarter Shop and me in celebrating Black History Month 2022 through the lens of a quilter! This year’s design was inspired by inventor Garrett Morgan. The blocks are representative of his contributions to the sewing industry.

 
 

During the month of February 2022, I’ll be hosting a quilt along with this design. The free pattern is available for download from the FQS site. We request that you donate $15 to the United Negro College Fund in lieu of paying for the pattern. 100% of your donation will go to help under-represented students earn a college education.

Kits are available for purchase in the Striking and Subtle colorways. However, you do you! I love seeing all the different versions quilters create.
