My Red Picnic quilt blocks
And here are my red Let’s Have a Picnic quilt blocks! Click here to watch me putting the blocks together ! I have a soft spot for super kitschy, vintage style fabrics – like the ones you’ll find from japanese manufacturers like Yuwa or Cosmo. Don’t you just love these little critters?

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.
