A Quilt Made for Fat Quarters
If you love collecting fat quarters, this quilt is for you!
Fat quarters are one of my favorite ways to shop for fabric. They allow you to bring home a beautiful variety of colors and prints without committing to a large amount of yardage. In the Garden is designed to make the most of those favorite fabrics, giving you the freedom to create a quilt that reflects your own style.
Imagine soft florals, cheerful colors, beautiful blenders, or a combination of prints from your favorite fabric collection. The possibilities are endless!
One of the best parts of quilting is seeing how different fabrics come together to create something unique. Your In the Garden quilt can be bright and colorful, soft and soothing, or anything in between.
Beginner-Friendly and Full of Possibilities
Starting a new quilt can feel intimidating, especially when you’re learning how to cut fabric, piece blocks, and keep everything organized. That’s why I love creating patterns that are approachable and easy to follow.
In the Garden is a beginner-friendly quilt pattern, making it a great project for those who are learning to quilt or anyone who enjoys a straightforward sewing experience.
With clear instructions and helpful guidance, you can work through the quilt one step at a time. There’s something so rewarding about watching your quilt grow as each piece comes together.
And remember, you don’t have to rush! Quilting is about enjoying the process, learning new skills, and creating something you’ll be proud of.

Choosing Your Fabric
One of my favorite parts of making a quilt is choosing the fabric. This quilt uses Gingham Gardens by Riley Blake Designs.
For In the Garden, start by thinking about the feeling you want your finished quilt to have.
A few fabric ideas to consider:
- Soft and romantic: Florals, soft pinks, creams, and gentle greens.
- Bright and cheerful: Bold colors, playful prints, and colorful blenders.
- Modern and fresh: A mix of contemporary prints with a few coordinating solids.
- Scrappy and fun: A variety of fat quarters from your stash for a quilt full of personality.
Don’t be afraid to mix prints and colors! Sometimes the most unexpected combinations create the most beautiful quilts.
If you’re new to fabric selection, a coordinating fabric collection is a wonderful place to start. It takes some of the guesswork out of choosing colors while still giving you plenty of variety.

A Little Time in the Garden
Quilting has a way of slowing us down. It gives us an opportunity to step away from the busy parts of life and make something with our hands.
Whether you’re sewing a few pieces in the evening, working on your quilt over the weekend, or spending a whole afternoon at your sewing machine, In the Garden is a project you can enjoy at your own pace.
And when you finish, you’ll have more than a quilt. You’ll have something made with your own creativity, time, and love.
Every quilt holds a story, and I can’t wait to see the stories you create with In the Garden!
