My Yellow Picnic Quilt Blocks
This week I’m sharing my yellow Let’s Have a Picnic quilt blocks! Watch me stitch them up in this Reel on my Instagram Feed (click here). Two more blocks where I’ve used some favorite Heather Ross prints (click here)! Beautiful bright citron yellows are almost as hard to find as beautiful prints in more unpopular colors like orange, brown and purple. By the way – I absolutely don’t understand, why people dislike certain colors. There are no ugly colors IMO, it’s all about how you combine them with other colors. What do you think?
My Fabric Selection
So, for the yellow blocks I’ve used (from top to bottom):
Heather Ross – Tiger Lily
Heather Ross – Malibu
Little Bunny – Dear Little World
Elea Lutz – Little Dolly
Atsuko Matsuyama – 30’s Collection
Stacy Iest Hsu – Sweet Home
Scroll all the way down to take a look at these beautiful 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.
