Prairie Quilt Co.: October 2024

Remember those twenty scrappy Granny Square blocks I made using my free quilt block pattern?

I sewed them together into the prettiest throw quilt!

I cut sashing pieces at 1.5" x 11.75" to finish at 1" wide.

Cornerstones were cut at 1.5" square to finish at 1" square.

The quilt top measures 50" x 62" - the perfect small throw!

I machine quilted the top using my signature organic wavy line quilting.

I had just enough of this widleback strawberry print from Windham Fabrics to finish this one - it's just perfect!

A fun black and white print for binding was the perfect finish for this scrappy Granny Square quilt.

I love how it turned out so much!

It's Granny Season over here!

Every summer I love making a traditional quilt pattern that uses up my fabric stash.

This summer I decided it would be the traditional Granny Square block, and I wrote up the instructions in a free downloadable pattern, just for you!

Download your copy here!

I pulled a huge number of scraps from my stash and made twenty unique blocks - but I left the outer squares the same on all of them for a bit of cohesion.

I used Ruby Star Society speckled in peony for all of the outer squares.

These blocks whip up really fast, and are a little addictive to make!

The Grandmother's Scrap Patch quilt block pattern is inspired by the traditional Grandmother's Cross block and features nine patch blocks.

This quilt design is perfect for using up scrap pieces of fabric and to play with colour combinations. There is also a fun twist if you put multiple blocks together to create a throw quilt!

For my sample I used a variety of Heather Ross scraps that I had on hand, with scrap Ruby + Bee solids for my block backgrounds.

The nine patches are so fun to sew up, and come together quickly!

This block pattern was originally designed for the 2024 Machine Sampler Minis event, and includes a link to a video tutorial for the on-point block assembly!

I used a Ruby Star Society speckled fabric in pink as sashing to tie the blocks all together. Extra mini nine-patches make the cutest cornerstone blocks!

The Wildflower Mix quilt pattern released in May 2024!

The Wildflower Mix quilt is a blend of the traditional broken wheel and sawtooth star quilt blocks - and is the perfect pattern for mix and match fat quarters, fat eighths, scrappy sewing, or showing off a beautiful palette of solids.

The pattern also includes a BONUS stem block and instructions to make a 60” throw-size quilt in a flower/stem alternating layout (25 blocks) with no sashing as shown in this blog post!

How will you mix up your flowers?

I used a lot of scraps from my stash for making this sample. It was so fun to sew together!

I was surprised at how many different green fabrics I actually had in my stash!

I love how the stems give a totally different look to the wagon wheel block, making a scrappy fabric garden! Which Wildflower Mix quilt will you choose?
