I'm so excited to finally have my second Garden Series pattern - Spring Garden - out in the world now! This pattern features flower blocks throughout with butterflies on each flower petal. Pair the pattern with your favorite springtime color palette and you've got yourself the perfect seasonal quilt!
This Art Gallery Fabrics (AGF) version of Spring Garden was the very first sample I made using the pattern! You'd think that most designers make their cover first, right? I couldn't wait to play around with these fabrics though!
Spring Garden comes in 4 different sizes ranging from Baby to Bed size and is Fat Quarter (FQ) and Half Yard (HY) friendly! This AGF Spring Garden Quilt is the Lap size version made with fat quarters since that's what fit my fabric bundle.
I enjoyed the mix and match process with this one a lot. I got to play around with the placement of the fabrics to make sure the there was enough contrast between the butterflies and the flowers.
The fabrics I used were the Eclectic Intuition collection by Katarina Roccella for Art Gallery Fabrics. Paired with it is Michael Miller Cotton Couture in Ochre for the flower centers. I just love this collection so much. The purples and blues are right up my alley and felt like a perfect match for Running Stitch Quilts!
I decided to go with my tried and true quilting - 1" straight lines stitched by me! I love the look of the clean lines and I can usually whip this kind of quilting out pretty quickly. Just attach your quilting guide and you're good to go!
I love how this Spring Garden turned out! It was so fun playing around with the fat quarters and colors in this quilt and I hope you have fun with it too! IF you haven't gotten your copy of the Spring Garden quilt pattern, you can grab the PDF version here and the paper version here! Make sure to share your quilt with me on Instagram and use the hashtag #SpringGardenQuilt so I can see it! I can't wait to see what you make!
