Quilt Construction

1. Cutting the Rectangles

The quilt is made up of large rectangles—simple cuts that make this a fast project with minimal waste. You can vary the size slightly depending on your fabric and layout preferences.

2. Laying Out the Design

Arrange your floral and solid rectangles in alternating rows or blocks. This step is where you can play with color placement and symmetry.

3. Sewing the Rows

Sew the rectangles into rows, then join the rows together. Press your seams as you go for a neat finish.

4. Quilting and Finishing

Once your top is complete, layer it with batting and backing, quilt as desired (straight-line or free-motion), then bind.
