I found this free pattern from Tiny Orchard Quilts. It is called Fat Quarter Plaid and can be found at free pattern. The original pattern called for 16 fat quarters to make a 62" x 70" quilt. However, I wanted to make my quilt just a little bit bigger so I used 20 fat quarters to make a 64" x 90.5" quilt. This was a fun pattern that worked up very quickly. It gave me a chance to use the purple/lavender/prints/tone on tone fat quarters that I had purchased for a different quilt. But you know me, I wanted to try something fun, fast, and using fat quarters. Et voilà !
I machine quilted this quilt in a meadering Flutterby Loop pattern that I use on occasion. It definitely worked for me on this quilt. I backed it with a soft flannel fabric and put the binding on by machine as my hands were cramping from all the machine work. I called this quilt "Lavender Fields".
Check out the Tiny Orchard Quilt site for additional free patterns. The directions were simple and very easy to follow.
Here's wishing you all a fabulous July! Find Joy in Your Journey!!
