I knew I would love Lori Holt's book Quilty Fun from the moment I started seeing her sneak peeks on Instagram. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's the Fat Quarter Shops debut into publishing with their publishing company, "It's Sew Emma"! Super exciting!
I decided to participate by making a couple of the tulip blocks.
It took me a few minutes to switch my brain over from paper piecing to the rotary cutter directions/pattern, but once I made the switch, the blocks went pretty fast. I love that they are simple and very effective! Here are the cutting instructions for two of the tulip blocks, but keep in mind you'll need a copy of the book as well for the sewing instructions and dimensions.
A couple more things.
Here is the Quilty Fun blog tour page so you can check out the other participants and the blocks they've made!
Make sure and enter the giveaway for two spools of Aurifil thread (two winners each) and a package of Alphabitties (one winner) by putting your Quilty Fun pics in the Quilty Fun Flickr group! The winners will be chosen and posted next Monday on the Jolly Jabber blog!

Tulips are just great. They make a lovely quilt.

Very sweet to use a PLAID fabric for the leaves - I bet I would not have thought of that, and it's super cute!
