Precut Parade- Quilts to Make From Strips, Squares, and Fat Quarters
I'm so excited to announce that my new book- Precut Parade- Quilts to Make From Strips, Squares, and Fat Quarters- has been released!
Precut Parade has 9 quilt patterns. The book is broken down into 3 sections- 3 quilt patterns that use 2 1/2" strips, 3 quilt patterns that use 10" squares, and 3 quilt patterns that use fat quarters.
Let's look at the quilts!
The first section is for the quilt patterns that use 2 1/2" strips (aka jelly rolls & rolie polies).
Maybelle
Frolic
Dabble
The next section in the book is the patterns that use fat quarters (18" x 21" cuts of fabric).
Happy Go Lucky
Tessa
That is all of them! I hope you love them as much as I do!
You can purchase this book at Amazon, Martingale, and other local quilt shops.
I have some fun things planned to show you all of the Precut Parade quilts in more detail! Here are the events that I have planned-
Instagram Live Trunk Show
On August 31st at 9:30 am EST, I will be showing all of the quilts from Precut Parade on my Instagram page @jessicadayon. If you can't make the trunk show live, it will be saved to my Instagram feed so you that you can watch and re-watch it anytime you'd like.
Precut Parade Block Party
I will be making each block from the Precut Parade in an Instagram Reel (on my Instagram page @jessicadayon) to give a really quick overview of how you put together each block. I'll be tagging these all #precutparadeblockparty so that they are all grouped together and you can find them easily to reference back to them.
Here is the schedule for the block demos-

That about wraps it up for today! I hope you'll join me in all of the Precut Parade activities! If you make a quilt from the book, I'd love it if you could tag me on Instagram @jessicadayon and use the hashtags #precutparadebook and the name of the quilt plus quilt, like this #twostepquilt
Again, you can purchase Precut Parade at Amazon, Martingale, and other local quilt shops. If you are happy with the book, I'd especially love it if you could leave a review on Amazon. Having many positive reviews makes Amazon more likely to recommend my book to other shoppers and I would greatly appreciate your support with this!
