Today I’m sharing this fat quarter friendly Southwest Sunshine quilt. The Southwest Sunshine quilt came out several years ago and I revisited it recently with these super soft and gorgeous Ruby Star Society wovens.
Southwest Sunshine is a fun and modern fat quarter friendly quilt pattern. Use your favorite fat quarter bundle and add an accent and background.
The Southwest Sunshine quilt pattern is available in the Quilty Love pattern shop.

The Southwest Sunshine quilt pattern came out a few years back. I haven’t sewn up many of them. So I recently revisited it using this Warp and Weft Wovens line by Ruby Star Society. Southwest Sunshine is a block based fat quarter friendly quilt.
Southwest Sunshine includes many size options in the pattern:
Warp and Weft by Ruby Star Society
This original Warp and Weft wovens line by Ruby Star Society is one of my favorites. I stocked up when it first came out and my stash of it is now dwindling. I’ve used it for a few quilts now.
Wovens are by far my favorite type of quilt to use around here. Wovens are a looser weave fabric than a regularly quilting cotton which makes them a little more finicky to work with but the end result is a soft and drapey quilt.
Fableism Backing
I paired a simple striped Fableism backing with the Ruby Star Society Warp and Weft. If I’m going to use wovens on the quilt top then I really like to use it as the backing as well. It’s either that or minky for me.

I sent this Warp and Weft Southwest Sunshine quilt off to Modern Textiles for quilting. We chose the Woven Wind pantograph by Urban Elementz.
