Let's Have A Picnic Quilt Blocks in Brown

My Brown Picnic quilt blocks

Here are my first two blocks! Watch me stitch them up in this Reel on my Instagram Feed (click here). I just love the adorable little @heatherrossinsta cowgirls! And the pink and purple roses on brown are so pretty, I’m happy that I found this rare print – roses on a brown background are really hard to find!⁣⁣⁣

The fabrics I’ve used in this quilt are a good mix of novelty and reproduction prints. I’ve used ten different colors in each two shades and a low volume background to create the gingham pattern. I will share the designer and fabric company of each block as far as possible. You’ll find the same – or if already out of print – similar fabrics at he following online shops: thehomemakery.co.uk, rosegardenpatchwork.co.uk, singer-featherweight.com, www.etsy.com/de/shop/SpringPromenade, www.etsy.com/de/shop/fabricsupply, sunny-day-supply.myshopify.com/, www.etsy.com/shop/CountryandCloth, www.fatquartershop.com.

⁣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.
