| Pixelated Rose Quilt by Trish Poolson |
Back to the quilting studio! You can't help but get in love with the Pixelated Rose Quilt if you are looking for your next big project that involves modern pixel art and classic floral beauty. This beautiful free quilt pattern, designed by Riley Blake Designs, takes quiltmaking in a new direction—one that's digital and contemporary. It's a delight to put together for quilters of all skill level and looks great for intermediate quilters or for quilters who want to try a structured grid challenge.
Quilt Overview & Specifications
- Completed size: A spacious 66" x 78", an ideal statement throw or for a relaxing natural element to a bed.
- Finished Block Size: The blocks are all 12" x 12" and are organized in a grid so that your piecing will be manageable.
- Skill Level: The quilting techniques and terms are familiar and block organization is numerical with a focus on precise 2½" square cutting.
- Fabric Collection: Fabrics were constructed with high quality Riley Blake Cottons (C120 solids), with a rich gradient palette of Petal Pink, Peony, Rose, Raspberry, Riley White, Sweet Pea, Grass and Treetop.
The genius of this pattern is that it divides the large floral mosaic into numbered blocks (1-30) and labeled strips (A-K). Due to this pixelated design style, you need to keep your pieces organized on a design wall or well labeled by number in order to have a smooth assembly. After the blocks and individual rows are pieced and pressed open, framing the piece with clean side, top and bottom borders ties the whole mosaic masterpiece together.
Final Thoughts
The Pixelated Rose Quilt is a great example of why modern quilting is so cool, it turns easy-to-make squares into a beautiful piece of pixelated art with clever color and accuracy. It's a really rewarding process to watch that rose grow, block by block, whether you're going for the solid color block Riley Blake has designed, or you're going to custom-make your own ombre block! Now take out your rotary cutter, arrange your 2 ½” squares and happy quilting!
