| Peaches & Dreams Quilt |
There are some beautiful quilts that really help make a room feels warm and nice, such as this beautiful Peaches & Dreams Quilt. This large quilt has been designed by Judy Laquidara of Patchwork Times and uses a nice pieced block design and bright colour border elements to create a stunning patchwork project.
I love how this quilt has been created using a variety of different fabric combinations. It doesn’t use any complex shapes but instead uses a variety of small pieced pieces, bright colours and beautiful borders.
- Designer: Judy Laquidara (Patchwork Times)
- Size: 92"x104"
- Main Blocks: 12" finished
- Border Blocks: 4" finished
- Difficulty: Confident beginner up to intermediate.
Quilt Design & Size
This quilt will measure around 92 "x104". It has been designed to be a large bed sized quilt with the main blocks being 12" finished. The smaller border blocks measure 4". The centre design has been divided into 6 rows of 5 blocks to provide a nice balanced look.
Whilst this quilt has been designed by Judy she has included some flexibility by having the blocks split into individual sections which can be altered to suit different sizes.
Final Thoughts
I love this quilt as it allows quilters to use traditional patchwork techniques but also add some extra creativity. There are so many different blocks, light and dark contrasts and intricate bordered pieced. Whilst there are quite a few small pieces to work with it does produce a lovely 92"x104" quilt.
This would be a great project for anyone who likes using bright fabrics to create a large quilt full of eye-catching details. You should definitely have a go at Judy Laquidara’s Peaches & Dreams.
