Hubba Hubba Vintage Tile Quilt in Country Rose Fabric
Woohoo! Summer is officially here! In the desert where I live, we’re already in the 100-degree weather and living on popsicles, salads, and acaî bowls. I’m also crushing on the ice cream colors of this Hubba Hubba quilt pieced by Diane Erickson + Jean Rich in Country Rose fabric.
Quilt Inspiration
Hubba Hubba is made with a Layer Cake (precut 10″ squares) or 16 fat eighths. This pattern was originally released with the Bloomington fabric collection and reminds me of a beautiful vintage tile floor. It’s a great design to showcase large pieces of fabric and uses an easy corner triangle technique. It was a no-brainer to recreate it in Country Rose fabric. Hubba Hubba is available as a PDF or printed booklet.

Country Rose looks like it was made for my home, I love the colors, the designs and can not wait to use it in a quilt.
