Hey there everyone! It’s Allegory again from {sew} allegorical.
I don’t know about you but I’m still waiting on spring to show up at my house. I figured while I was hiding inside from the cold I could put together a spring picnic quilt. This way I’ll be ready as soon as a sunny day hits.
This jellyroll friendly quilt finishes at 48″ x 60″ using a repeat of a 12″ finished block. The repeating design means you can adjust this pattern to be larger if you’d like.
Let’s break it down.
1 Jelly Roll of Honey Honey by Kate Spain
1 Jelly Roll of Bella Natural (9900JR-12)
1 Charm Back of Bella Black (9900PP-99)
Batting: 56″ x 68″
3 yards of backing fabric of your choice. (I used Honey Honey Tide Apiary)
240 inches of binding in your preferred technique
This quilt is constructed off of one basic block. For mine I chose to mix different prints from the line together for a scrappy look. You can also use a single print for each block (which I think would be a great variation!).
I’ve made a handy block diagram to help keep track of the cutting and piecing for each block.
For one block you need to cut the following:
This block is super simple to construct. All piecing is done with 1/4″ seam.
Following the diagram above to match your cuts, piece together each of the rows. All of your rows will end up 12.5″ long.
Press seams however you choose. I like to press mine open.
One spring inspired 48″ x 60″ quilt!
Happy Sewing!
