Introducing Cherry Guidry's Front Porch collection

Spring is here to stay! Cherry Guidry's lastest Contempo collection, Front Porch is full of vibrant, warm weather fun. It starts with an adorable panel--vases full of blooms, honey bees, summer fruit, a lemonade stand, and of course, a Front Porch!

And you're ready for some cheery projects! We asked Cherry to introduce us to the Front Porch fabrics.

Tell us about the panel.

The panel is very summery! The center section is a front porch with Adirondack chairs and lemonade. The welcome sign in it is cute, and if you look at the pillows, they’re made from the flowers in this collection.

I think my favorite section of the panel is the lemonade stand. I also love the flowers in the mason jar at the bottom. I keep fresh flowers in my house all the time.

The bees are really sweet.

They’re so popular in the quilting world! There’s a bee in the floral print. I wanted to use something besides a bird. It also became its own print and the honeycomb.

We love the flip flop and sunglasses prints!

I do too! The panel originally looked very different—it had flip flops in it, and other designs. When the panel changed, I kept those little designs as perfect summer prints. They work with the whole theme. What’s fun about them is you can do a lot of fussy cutting—flip flops for the center of a star block, for example.

The collection has a bunch of blenders too. Hexies and mini florals—they’re great for appliquers. But you can also pick one of the summery prints and mix it with the blenders for a completely different looking quilt.

We have more Front Porch fun to share! We'll be showing ideas for using the panel, as well as a virtual trunk show of Cherry's Front Porch quilts.
