Don’t you love the name??? This new fabric line by Jill Finley for Riley Blake is stunning and so are the quilts inspired by it!

Petals And Pedals Pusher Remix Quilt Kit

The front and side view of the bike are cut from panels – available in black or white:

Petals And Pedals 24in Panel Black
Petals And Pedals 24in Panel White

Finished Size: 63in x 75in Graphic black and white are mixed with pops of color in this charming lap quilt. The piecing is simple – just 16 identical blocks embellished with a whole variety of blooms. You can add soft or bright colors – whatever works for you! This will be a favorite of everyone who gathers in your family room.

Posy Party

Finished Size: 18in x 25in x 8in This large tote bag is perfect for loading with all of your projects for a sew day or quilt retreat. It’s big enough to fit your large rulers plus plenty of extra stuff. The bag is made using a panel so there’s no extra steps (including pockets and bicycle print). Each section is quilted individually to give it rigidity and stability. The front and back each have two pockets plus 2 pockets on the side. The interior has two large pockets and one zipper pocket. Webbing straps go all the way around the bag for added strength and are decorated with detail prints from the panel.

The Folded Corner Clipper XL

Twice the size of the original Creative Grids® Folded Corner Clipper, the Folded Corner Clipper XL can span a 10-inch block and cut wide, mitered borders.

Creative Grids Folded Corner Clipper Tool XL

No need to draw pencil lines when prepping your favorite blocks such as snowballs, flying geese, diamonds in a square and cornered rectangles! Since you have to trim the corner anyway, why not trim it first, and use the raw edge as your seam guide? AND… since the corner was trimmed with a straight edge, your bonus triangle is ready to sew into a Half-Square-Triangle block! Or, use the 45 degree angle to create binding or mitered corners.

Use the additional printed angle line to square up and trim the corners from any pieced block. Adding triangles to the corners of a pieced log cabin block, for instance, is now easy and accurate!

Cut Loose Press Reflections

Use the Creative Grids Folded Corner Clipper XL to make large half-square triangles from 10-inch squares and sub-cut them to make this stunning table runner. Then make the leftover triangles into slightly smaller half-square triangles for the placemats. Combine them on your table to add that awe factor to any décor. Note that there are two different layouts for the placemats. I like the light center since it will be covered by a plate and the prints will show!

Cut Loose Press Barn Raising Lite

This modern take on a traditional log cabin barn raising quilt goes together very quickly since there are only 48 blocks. The asymmetrical layout adds that awe factor. Since the units are cut with the Folded Corner Clipper XL before sewing, there is no need to draw diagonal lines or trim tails!

Cut Loose Press Bauble Chain Quilt

Doesn’t this remind you of the beaded chains we all loved in the 70’s? The baubles are cut with the Folded Corner Clipper XL after the strips are sewn into sets so it goes together very quickly. The cutaway corner triangles are then sewn into the smaller units so there is no waste of fabric. The background is the perfect place to showcase some dramatic quilting!
