I really love a good fussy cut quilt pattern. Something about all of those specifically chosen little motifs makes a quilt so much more special and whimsical. When I designed this quilt, I didn’t know the official name of this type of block is a weathervane block. After I found that out, the name of the quilt came easily as Weathervane Whimsy.

It’s made of 20 blocks and uses 20 different prints for the main blocks. If you use fat eighths, it utilizes them perfectly. Otherwise, you have to scale up to quarter yards for yardage cuts.
Most of the fussy cuts are from various Tasha Noel fabric lines. She really knows how to make some cute fabric! Others are just random low volume prints that I had on hand or hunted down. If there’s a specific one you love, leave a comment, and I might be able to remember which one it was. Of course, you don’t have to use fussy cuts, but it does add quite a bit of cuteness.
I used Kona White for the background, Kona Seaglass for the sashing, and Kona Azure for the cornerstones.
The binding is Riley Blake Dainty Daisy Jade and the backing is this adorable print from Riley Blake with old jam and canning recipes on it. It’s called Farm Girl Vintage Canning in Denim. Longarm quilting was done by Sterling Quilt Company using the Ginger Spring pantograph. She always does a great job!
The quilt is River approved, so you know it’s good. JK, she just likes to get in the middle of anything I’m doing, especially if it involves a quilt spread out on the floor.
This is definitely one of my favorite quilts that I’ll be keeping for myself forever. It’s currently draped over the back of a chair in my craft room, and I fold it different ways to show off the different blocks from time to time.
Head over to my Etsy shop to get the Weathervane Whimsy fussy cut quilt pattern.
