The Perfect Beginner Quilt In Time For Spring

This Throw Is Super Quick To Sew

A Fun Fat Quarter quilt that you can easily cut and piece in a day. Two generous rectangle strips make up a block, leaving the fabric to get all of the attention, and you can quilt it anyway you choose.

 

 

If you’re new to quilting, or wondering how to get started, this easy design provides plenty of cutting and piecing practice, and not much can go wrong. You’ll be delighted with the top as the design comes together.

The quilt puts all of the attention on the fabric. It’s totally fat quarter friendly so all you need do is choose a favorite, or decide on a theme, and start cutting the strips for each block. The block simply consists of two strips of the same print with a single white strip between. Quick stitch 30 blocks and the top is ready to put together!

Choose large motifs for this beautiful display of bold florals. While the exact fabric may not be available, you can easily find similar patterns and color combinations which you can cut from yardage, or within a fat quarter collection of your choice.

‘The Courtyard Quilt’ is a great beginner-friendly project designed by Michelle Engel Bencsko, using Cloud9 fabrics. It is available free to keep and use to make quilts for any season. Just choose your fabric. The quilt is a finished size of 46″ x 55″. It’ll make a pretty baby quilt, or a Spring throw over the sofa.
