My Orange Picnic Quilt Blocks
And here are my orange Let’s Have a Picnic quilt blocks! Watch me stitch them up in this Reel on my Instagram Feed (click here). The cross stitch prints by Atsuko Matsuyama are probably my most favorite low volumes of all times – I LOVE these prints and will very likely want to use them in all my future quilts… Luckyly I bought a yard of each print when it was still available. Today of course I regret not having bought 5 yards or even more…

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.
