Focus Quilt - Idyllic

It's time for me to share my Focus Quilt with the gorgeous Idyllic Fabrics designed by Minki Kim for Riley Blake Designs. When I saw the bold floral prints, I knew I wanted the "focus" to be on these beautiful prints. This is why I chose the pattern name - Focus Quilt! Sometimes you have lovely fabric prints that must be left large so you can fully enjoy them and FOCUS.  

The variety of florals, small prints, stripes, and text with fall colors in the Idyllic Collection is absolutely stunning. Seriously gorgeous!!!

I was so excited to make my Focus Quilt with this lovely bundle of Idyllic Fabric. I love making the Focus Quilt because the pattern uses my favorite (and more affordable) pre-cut 10" squares! I love being able to have a bit of an entire collection without spending my full fabric budget at once!

The Focus Quilt uses large blocks so it is quick to sew plus you are able to FOCUS on the gorgeous fabric prints! I also love the secondary pattern that is created when the blocks are sewn together!

Another awesome feature of the Focus Quilt is that it is a block based quilt pattern. This means you can easily enlarge or shrink the quilt by making more or less blocks OR you could even add a border! So many possibilities!

*All fabric for Focus Quilt top and binding is Idyllic designed by Minki Kim for Riley Blake Designs.

Of course I really love the Idyllic Navy Stripe fabric for binding and the sashing corners...stripes are my favorite for quilt binding!

I'm totally a fan of using my AccuQuilt fabric cutting system for cutting my half-square triangles  because it saves me time plus I have perfect blocks! The Focus Quilt pattern gives traditional rotary cutting and piecing directions AND shares which AccuQuilt die to use if you would rather use your AccuQuilt to cut out your half-square triangles. 

The Focus Quilt Pattern is also awesome for quilt panels too...here is my Focus Quilt with Blessed Beyond Measure Fabric designed by Buttermilk Basin for Riley Blake Designs. I love how the Focus Quilt can look different based on fabric selection! Check out my blog post for Focus Quilt - Blessed Beyond Measure HERE.

The gorgeous Idyllic fabric collection will be shipping to store this month - yay! Fat Quarter Shop will be carrying the full Idyllic Collection HERE.
