Chocolate Covered Cherries Quilt – A Charming Combination of Red, Brown, and Neutral Fabrics

There are some amazing quilt patterns out there, ones which really catch the eye with their pretty colour schemes and classic patchwork layout. The Chocolate Covered Cherries Quilt by Jo Kramer of ‘Jo’s Country Junction’ is a very pretty example of a simple pattern using geometric blocks to achieve a warm and aesthetically pleasing quilt.

This pattern uses some beautiful colors including shades of brown, red and neutral. The darker and lighter colors create contrast which really makes each patchwork piece stand out.

• Designed by: Jo Kramer of ‘Jo’s Country Junction’

• Finished Size: 87 1/2"x 87 1/2"

• Block Size: 4 1/2"

• Requirements: 1 yd Red, 2 3/4 yd Brown, 6 yd Neutral, 3/4 yd Red Binding

• Backings: 6 yd.

The finished size of this quilt is roughly 87 1/2"x 87 1/2". This makes it a nice large square perfect for a bed or beautiful decorative item. Each block measures 4 1/2”.

This pattern contains 2 types of blocks. 145 of the traditional 9 patch blocks and 144 square in square blocks. These alternate to complete the center of the quilt. The outside has a pieced border made up of extra brown and neutral patchwork pieces.

Requirements: 1 yd Red, 2 3/4 yd Brown, 6 yd Neutral, 3/4 yd Red Binding.

I really like this project because it gives me the chance to play with color contrast. Whilst sticking to the original color scheme of red, brown and neutral you can also experiment with your own color choices.

Final Thoughts

This is a beautiful quilt for any quilter who likes traditional piecing. This quilt has alternating blocks, a unique pieced border and a large finished size. This makes it a fun project to ensure you have accurate cutting skills, strip piecing and accurate seam allowances. This quilt can be made using the original color scheme or your own stash so there is plenty of potential to make a beautiful handmade quilt!
