This has been such a fun week of quilt tutorials!
I made this quilt with lots and lots of love. It’s for a friend who is battling cancer. Sometimes only a hand-made quilt can express how you truly feel about a person.
I love this pattern because it showcases larger print fabrics which I am always drawn to!
This quilt is made up of 9-patch blocks and plain blocks.
Quilt blocks measure 12″ finished
Make (10) 9-patch blocks
Cut (10) 12.5″ squares of theme print
Select your fabrics and lay them out how you want them in the 9-patch. Cut them in strips of 4.5″x WOF
Sew them together in 3-strip sets: row 1, row 2, and row 3
Press seams so they alternate for easy intersection pinning. Cut in increments of 4.5″
Do this with each of the strip sets until you have stacks that look like this:
Pin at seams
Here you can see how I did my pressing:
Lay out your 9-patch blocks with your 12 1/2″ squares alternating. Sew them in rows and join rows together. This quilt is 4 squares across and 5 squares down.
I put flannel on the back and free-motion quilted it – it’s so cuddly!!
This is very pretty!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I love, love, love this quilt. I so have to make one…another one on my to-do list 🙂
The colours just say Summer evenings, just gorgeous.

I just love this quilt! I get bored easily when making quilt, but love the end result and your pattern is perfect for making my quilts. I will be making several of this pattern, but with different fabric. Thank you for sharing your gift.
