I have always wanted to make a full low volume quilt and I love the softness of it! But it is challenging to photograph the lovely light colors!

Timber Quilt: Hush Hush 3 

59.5" x 67.5"

Supplies:

• Timber Quilt PDF Pattern: Pattern Shop or Etsy
• (42) 10" squares: (1) 10" Stacker of Hush Hush 3 
• (0.5) yard inner border: Hush Hush 3 fabric collection
• (4) 0.25 yard OR (1) yard outer border : Hush Hush 3 fabric collection
• 0.75 yard binding: Hush Hush 3 fabric collection
• (4) yards backing

The Timber Quilt pattern is a beginner friendly pattern that focuses on the prints from the Hush Hush 3 collection as no background fabric is needed for this quilt! All you need is (42) 10″ squares plus border fabric! Of course, you could always skip the border fabric and just use (1) 10″ Stacker for a slightly smaller quilt!

As this fully low-volume Timber Quilt has a calming feel - I added Cuddle fabric as the backing .... it's soooo soft!
