A new quilt in the works
I will be making a new picnic quilt! It’s time to retire our old one (click here) before it starts falling apart and I’m itching to use some old and new prints that are a bit different from what I have mostly been using in recent years… After several attempts (this is one of them – click to view) which I haven’t been happy with, I finally came up with a cool and simple design (also pretty different from what I’ve been designing in the last few years).
I’ve just finalized the pattern and started sewing the first blocks. And I decided to share this fun process with all the details here, on Instagram (click here) and through my newsletter – join my community fo follow along (click here)! Every Monday I will share two new blocks, along with tipps tricks and infos about the fabrics I’ve used. Next week I’ll show you the first blocks – stay tuned!
Want to make your own picnic quilt?
The gingham pattern is a super fun quilt design where you can show off the prettiest prints from your stash! To make these scrappy blocks, you can either use Layer Cake squares, Jelly Roll strips or easily cut the needed strips from yardage. The blocks seam elaborate but are actually very quick and easy to sew (click here), thanks to the strip piecing method. The quilt measures 64 ½” x 80 ½” which is enough room to seat 4 people with the food in the middle.
