The Pardon My Garden quilt is a classic design made up of diamonds and looks wonderful in any setting. The diamonds are framed by narrow strips of off white, witch makes them "float" within the setting. We used all of the 12 Pardon My Garden Fabrics and off-white quilt fabric for the quilt top.

This quilt is my new FAVORITE! The unexpected color scheme is so interesting and everything coordinates in a unique way. The origin of this quilt began with the crab in 2021. Exactly one year ago I was doing a 30-day creative challenge and I developed a series of critters. The crab was one of them! I made a BIG

EASY Grandmother's Garden Quilt - TUTORIAL Hi Quilty Friends! Today I'm sharing my EASY Grandmother's Garden Quilt (keep on reading for the free tutorial) with the gorgeous Wild and Free Collection designed by Gracey Larson for Riley Blake Designs. The Wild and Free Main print (below) is my FAVORITE because Gracey has drawn all 50 state flowers!!! This collection is both beautiful and educational! PS- the Wild and Free Panel is a must as it is a map of USA with all the states and their flower! I knew I wanted a to make quit a with a floral design and I love a Grandmother's Garden Quilt, but hand sewing hexagons together would take me forever and sewing y-seams is stressful. So I used my AccuQuilt GO! Half-Hexagon die to make my quilt EASY with no hand sewing or y-seams! EASY Grandmother's Garden Quilt Tutorial 53.5" x 63.5" Quilt Supplies: (12) 1/2 yards : Wild and Free designed by Gracey Larson (5) 1/4 yards: Wild and Free designed by Gracey Larson 0.625 yard binding: Wild and Free designed by Gracey Larson 3.5 yards Backing OR (1) Wild and Free Panel with extra (1) yard of Wild and Free Main Print plus left over fabrics AccuQuilt GO! Half-Hexagon 4 1/2" sides die AccuQuilt GO! Cutter (if using AccuQuilt GO! die for cutting) Note: If you do not have an AccuQuilt GO! or GO! Half-Hexagon die – try using Lori Holt Hexie Half Ruler Set. Just use the larger size ruler. Your quilt size may vary slightly from mine. Cutting Instructions Cut each 1/2 yard print into (3) 4 1/2" x WOF strips, then cut (12) half-hexagons with your AccuQuilt GO! Half Hexagon 4 1/2" Sides Die from each print. (Total of 144 half-hexagons) Each 4 1/2" x WOF Strip will cut (4) half-hexagons Cut each 1/4 yard print into (1) 4 1/2" X WOF strip, then cut (4) half-hexagons with your AccuQuilt GO! Half Hexagon 4 1/2" Sides Die from each print. (Total of 20 half-hexagons) There will be a total of 164 half-hexagons cut. Quilt requires 162 half-hexagons. Each full flower requires (12) half-hexagons for petals and (2) half-hexagons for flower center. Don't worry - it's super quick to cut the half-hexagons as your AccuQuilt GO! Cutter does all the work for you! Plus you can cut 6 layers of fabric at a time - yay! Cut (6) 2.5" x WOF binding strips. Note: If you do not have an AccuQuilt GO! or GO! Half-Hexagon die - try using Lori Holt Hexie Half Ruler Set. Just use the larger size ruler. Your quilt size may vary slightly from mine. Quilt Assembly Arrange your half-hexagons in your desired layout. Don't worry about the hexagon edges on the quilt sides, we will be trimming them off. No need to panic- it's just a tiny bit of trimming off so there isn't much waste at all. Layout should be (9) half-hexagons across (horizontal) and (18) half-hexagons down (vertical). Sewing Begin sewing horizontal rows together. Sew (2) half-hexagons short sides, right sides together with 1/4" seam. AccuQuilt has already trimmed the corners of your blocks so they are easy to line up and sew together. Continue until entire horizontal row has been sewn together. Row 1 Row 2 Continue sewing all (18) horizontal rows as shown above. Be careful to pay attention to placement of half-hexagons. Next sew Row (1) and Row (2) together with a 1/4"seam. I did pin each point as I like perfect points :). Repeat sewing rows together in numerical order until quilt top is complete. Trimming Quilt Using a ruler - trim the edges of the hexagons on the left and right edges of the quilt. I trimmed at the intersection of the two fabrics. This will give your quilt straight edges and it will be so much easier to bind. See diagram below. EASY Grandmother's Garden Quilt will measure 53.5" x 63.5". OPTIONAL (but awesome): Pieced Backing The Wild and Free Panel is AMAZING! Plus I love a double sided quilt so I chose to use my left over fabrics for a fun pieced backing! I think this is a fun (and pretty) option to learn US Geography!!! Quilt and Bind as desired You did it! Now you have an EASY Grandmother's Garden Quilt with the gorgeous Wild and Free fabric to enjoy!!! Plus hooray for NO y-seams or hand sewing!!! I can't wait to see your quilt!

I used the Yellow Brick Road pattern to create a quilt for our school's silent auction. I won a set of fat quarters about a year ago (and I can't remember where from and it's bothering me.) It was fun to make a quilt with such an easy and familiar pattern (this is at least the fourth time making it.) The fabric was wonderful to work with, very satiny. I backed it in a teal flannel. The quilt didn't sell for very much. I'm not making a quilt again for an auction. Ever. Friends, remind me of this okay?
The possibilities are endless! I've been wanting to make a simple Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt for a while. Well, there’s no time like the present!

This quilt is so easy and fast, even a very early beginner could do it, and it would make a great weekend project! This is all done with just one cut

5 Favorite Paper Piecing Quilt Patterns animals and flowers. By professional quilter Janeen van Niekerk shares her work.
Home from a creative week in Sisters, Oregon at the oldest (30+ years) and the biggest outdoor quilt festival in the world. The week started with Quilters Affair and 5 days full of classes from 30 teachers from all over the world. Every quilting technique imaginable was represented from the Modern Quilt movement to tradition hand quilting. Truly something for everyone. Below are pictures from my classes. I taught Hibiscus as a 2 day class, Bird of Paradise (1 day) and my new pattern, Hidden Beach (2 days), which was a hit. Look at the beautiful hand-dyed fabrics this student made before she came to class. This is Tim with his beautiful flower. When the class is making a big mess you know they are in the zone. In the Hidden Beach class I tried something new. No paint by numbers this time. It was all improvisational free cutting to make this beachscape. I was a little concerned about changing my teaching style without the students knowing what they were getting into but the students loved it. This technique gave them more creative freedom and they embraced it. We used a lot of free cutting with the rotary cutter which is the technique I used for the water in my Monterey and beach quilts. Monterey We started with the beach, water, and sky for the first layer. Then we made the rolling hill and path. Then they did the tree layer. About half of the class did there own interpretation of there Hidden Beach or lake or river. It was so exciting. Candi finishing her beach. This is one of the hazards of the job: fabric sticking in places you don't want. Isn't this wonderful? She brought a picture for inspiration. She is now adding her trees. This student is making cypress trees at her beach. Here they are. Wonderful interpretation of cypress trees. Best part is that the NEW Steam A Seam 2 arrived in time for me to bring to Sisters for these classes. It is new and improved and I think you are going to like it. I haven't sewn through it yet but I will blog about that in a few weeks. Here she added more rocks and dirt showing on the rolling hill. Love it! Now layer 3, the limbs of the trees. I told them to add a punch of color as you make your trees. All right! Her Hidden Beach is a beautiful lake in Oregon. This was so much fun and I can't wait to teach Hidden Beach again! This is my class sample.
