    My Book - Fabulously Fast Quilts

    Short-cut quilt patterns, simple and fast, pre-cut friendly

    Released in Spring 2014, Fabulously Fast Quilts, my first solo book, is a collection of 12 patterns - many that are pre-cut friendly -using quilting short cuts to help you create quickly. Some of these patterns are faster than others, but all use techniques to help you save time.

    Fabulously Fast Quilts is now out of print, but you can still occasionally find printed copies available from Amazon.

    You can also find downloadable PDF Ebook copies available in my Shop.

    Fabulously Fast Quilts was one of publisher Martingale/That Patchwork Place's top 5 sellers for 2014!

    Quilts from the Fabulously Fast Quilt book by Amy Smart.

    Some patterns are inspired by traditional designs and methods, and others are hopefully something new entirely. I want this to be a good resource for finding a selection of quick go-to quilt designs.
