Welcome to the Suzy Quilts day on the Five & Dime fabric blog hop! Five & Dime is a fresh and fun new line of fabric designed by the wonderful Heidi Staples of Fabric Mutt. 

I have been a fan of Heidi since I first saw a Bear Paw quilt she made almost two years ago.

The Maypole Quilt pattern is available for instant download!
Get the pattern here.

Even though it's currently July rather than May, I could not bring myself to name this design anything other than Maypole. The interweaving ribbons of color remind me of a painting that has hung in my parent's house for the majority of my life. 

I've spent lots of time looking at this painting because it hung in my childhood bathroom​.

Ahhhh the Double Wedding Ring quilt...it's so romantical. Looking for the next great love story? Delete that Netflix tab, because you have come to the right blog post. We’re about to dive into one of the most romantic quilt patterns ever: the Double Wedding Ring Quilt.

I'm bringing you something special today, my quiltketeers. A book tour! Oh yes, and not just any book tour – it's your favorite kind of book tour – one that involves quilts and notions and many beautiful quilt photos taken by other quilters all over the world. 

A couple weeks ago we journeyed through rural America on a tour of beautiful barn quilts. We discovered their surprisingly recent inception inspired by historical quilt blocks. Read more in this blog post.
