Fairy Garden Quilt – Free Quilt Pattern by Maureen Cracknell
Add a whimsical and floral element to your quilting with the gorgeous Fairy Garden Quilt by Live Art Gallery Fabrics (liveartgallery.com), a lovely quilt design by Maureen Cracknell. The quilt is made from the fun and colorful Flower Child fabric collection, and is a beautiful mix of fun prints, colors and traditional patchwork techniques, making it a fresh yet timeless quilt!
Designed by Maureen Cracknell, the Flower Child collection is inspired by the beauty of nature with enchanting florals, delicate botanical motifs and dreamy colors. These fabrics make an excellent chance to try out color combinations and create an individual quilt with character. These prints really complement the Fairy Garden pattern and are an interesting project for all those who enjoy floral prints and creative patchwork.
About the Fairy Garden Quilt
The Fairy Garden Quilt is approximately 78” x 78” and is a great size for a bed, sofa or decorative quilt. The construction is a traditional one with a log cabin block system, which combines fabric strips in interesting ways to form blocks.
The pattern calls for quilt to be pieced together with 36 log cabin blocks. The blocks are arranged in a 12-step strip-piecing pattern and the fabric rectangles are carefully measured before being sewn together to create each block. Completed blocks are then rotated and placed in relation to each other as per the quilt-top design to create the finished quilt.
The coordinating fabrics used throughout the quilt to create depth and movement is one of the features I like about this project. The pattern includes a selection of fabrics from the Flower Child collection, and a coordinating solid fabric to ensure that the prints do not overpower the pattern.
