Happy quilting, everyone! Today I am excited to introduce one of my favorite quilt designs, created by the amazing duo from Blackbird Designs, designed for Moda Fabrics, the Blueberry Crumb Cake Quilt.

Fabric & Materials Needed
If you would like to make this beautiful throw sized quilt, this is a general yardage breakdown of the fabric needed:
- Background Fabric: Light neutral or cream print for crisp block contrast.
- Blue Fabrics: A range of navy, slate and blueberry prints for star points and accent units.
- Tan/Brown Fabrics: To add the signature earth tone warmth to the pattern, these fabrics are used.
- Inner Border & Binding: Coordinating blue/brown material.
- The outer Border: A rich main print to frame the entire pieced center.
Why You’ll Love Stitching This Quilt
The trick of the Blueberry Crumb Cake pattern is that it's a classic construction. Lots of traditional half-square triangles and star assembly are used in it making it a great weekend project to practice precision piecing skills.
Tips for Success:
- Seam pressing: Press your seams with extreme care (or open) to make sure that your star points line up exactly.
- For fabrics you can choose any light, medium or dark shades that you like in your blue and tan scraps for the blocks, as long as there is a good contrast.
Final Thought
The Blueberry Quilt by Blackbird Designs really embodies all that we value in traditional quilting—comfortable color schemes, rewarding patchwork, and a classic finish. It may be made from all the Moda collection or from your own stash of repro prints – either way it can only be a favorite in your quilt collection!
