Making a Cosmic Fusion baby quilt!

I just received this wonderful Cosmic Fusion fabric by Northcott! I have fabric from the green colorway, but there are also orange and purple colorways in this collection. You can have a look at all the fabric on the Northcott website.

Watch for Cosmic Fusion! It will be available in stores at the end of August. When these fabrics hit stores you can find out which quilt shops and online retailers carry Cosmic Fusion by using the Product Finder link at the top of this page on the Northcott website.

I decided to make a modern-style baby quilt using 9 – 20″ pieces from the collection. The quilt will be 38″ x 48″ when finished.

If you would like to make this project with me, here’s how to get started. From each 20″ pieces, cut 3 or 4 strips in varying widths from 2½” to 4″ wide. Make sure you cut the strips so the longest side is on the lengthwise grain of the fabric (parallel to the selvedge edge). This will help prevent the strips from stretching as you sew them together.

Sew 9 different fabric strips of varying widths together to make a strip set. Don’t worry if the top and bottom edges are uneven – they will be trimmed later. Press seams to one side. The strip set will be about 20″ – 24″ wide.

Sew 9 more strips of varying widths together to make another strip set. Make sure to sew the fabrics together in a different order than in the first set. Sew the 2 strips sets together, end to end, to make 1 long strip set.

Make 3 more long strip sets like this.

Come back tomorrow and I’ll show you how to put these strip sets together to make the quilt top.  You’ll have your modern baby quilt made in no time. I’m sure you’ll agree that this Northcott Cosmic Fusion fabric is fun to work with.

Here’s a sneak peek at the finished quilt!
