Pocket Full of Posies Star Quilt

I LOVE this week's Friday Bundle Batch with Fort Worth Fabric Studio! It is Pocket Full of Posies and features Posy Garden, which I just love! The pink and navy is just perfect! I used almost the entire Fat Quarter bundle plus a yard of back ground fabric to create this 53" x 53" quilt! Keep on reading for the tutorial.

Pocket Full of Posies Quilt Tutorial

Supplies

• Pocket Full of Posies Fat Quarter Bundle
• 1 yard of Moda Grunge in Vanilla (may want to consider 1.5 yards if concerned about a cutting oops)
• Backing 60" x 60" - I pieced 16 fat quarters from my stash for my backing
• Batting 60" x 60"

Cutting (sorry pictures are dark...I sew at night while my kids are asleep)

Navy Fat Quarters (cut from each fat quarter):

(1) 12" Square - cut on diagonal to make 2 triangles

(2) 4.5" x 11.5" Rectangles

(2) 2.5 x 18" Binding 

*Hint for cutting for fat quarters. Cut (1) 12" x 21" rectangle. Then subcut the (1) 12" square. This will leave you with (1) 9" x 12" rectangle- subcut into (2) 4.5" x 11.5"rectangles. 

Pink Fat Quarters (cut from each fat quarter):

(1) 11.5" square

(2) 4.5" x 11.5" Rectangles

(2) 2.5 x 18" Binding 

Background -Moda Grunge inVanilla 

(4) 12" Squares- cut on diagonal to make 2 triangles from each square (total of 8)

(4) 11.5" Squares

Corner 4-patches

(16) 2.5" squares (I just cut these from my binding strips)

 

Sewing

1. Sew (1) Navy Triangle to (1) Vanilla Grunge to create a 11.5" half-square triangle. Make 8 total.

2. Sew (4) four-patch blocks 

3. Layout squares as shown below and sew together.

4. Prepare backing. I used 16 fat quarters from my stash. I trimmed them to 15.5" squares and sewed them together.

5. Quilt. I chose to stipple my quilt. I "might" be addicted to stippling....I just can't stop! :)

6. Bind. I just love a scrappy binding!

7. Enjoy your quilt!!! Mine is already getting lots of love! 

I'm quite sure this will be my "go to" quilt pattern as it is a fun and quick sew plus a great lap size!
