My Purple Picnic Quilt Blocks
Today I’m sharing my purple Let’s Have a Picnic quilt blocks! Watch me stitch them up in this Reel on my Instagram Feed (click here). I am super late to the Tula Pink bandwagon, but her latest collection Tiny Beasts has me intrigued. These Racoons and Hedgehogs – so adorable! And the vibrant colors! I was searching for bright purple prints that when I came across her designs recently. With all the new quilt projects in my mind, they appeared to me in a totally different light! Now almost all the purple prints in my stash are from Tula Pink. And I’m constantly adding other colors and prints…!

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.
