I made this quilt for my mother's birthday. It took me just 4 days to piece it and quilt it.
This is an easy project for a beginner quilter and a very quick quilt for a skilled one.

I made the sketch using Electric Quilt. I love Electric Quilt. You can scan your fabric, import them in the program and see how your quilt will look like even before you cut a single piece of fabric.
Quilt size: 83.5" x 95.5"Number of blocks = 6 x 7 = 42
Finished block size: 12" x 12"
Borders 1 and 3 (finished width) : 2"
Border 2 (finished width): 1.75"
I didn't have enough fabrics for borders
so I made mine without borders.

This is the block:
The placement of blocks (row #1 and row #2 then repeat them) :
A variation in the placement of fabrics,
will produce a different quilt.
Choose the design you like more:
Block piecingYou can use a plain square in the center of the block or a Kaleidoscope square.
For a better look, variate the size of the center square (well, I did that because I didn't have enough fabric but it was a clever option !).
There are so many posibillities:
Have fun !

I love the quilt! Simple with the big impact, perfect! Thanks
ReplyDeleteWonderful tutorial!
ReplyDeleteThis would be good for a fabric with a print that a person wants to showcase. I have a collection of coffee themed fabrics that I don't want to cut into strips or just chop into. This looks like an easy way to make a quilt using those prints. Thanks for the great post, and more great ideas!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice pattern. Thanks for the thorough instructions!
ReplyDeleteIncredible! You are so gifted!
ReplyDeleteCe frumos e quiltul asta, si este genul acela care parca te indeamna sa incerci! Dar nu ne-ai spus cam cat material ne trebuie din fiecare culoare...Mai tii minte ca eu am materialele acelea cu rosu/crem pe care le-am cumparat prima-prima data? S-ar potrivi.

What a great look! It's so effective. Most quilts are so square on square that this one looks bright and fresh by comparison. I've bookmarked this one...
ReplyDeleteOh my Geta.. I was going to try and work out a pattern to do exactly this tonight but as usual got sidetracked.. and look you've done it for me..that's amazing. I'm going to start it now. Thank you for sharing.
