Do you remember my Squares and Stripes Picnic Quilt Pattern?

Months ago I bundled and boxed up my quilt and shipped it off…

And over the weekend I received something fun in my mailbox.

It was a copy of the Fall issue of Easy Quilts by Fons and Porter.

Inside was a feature of my quilt.

They took the wonderful, dreamy picnic photo above.

Squares and Stripes was my first quilt pattern and I still love it’s modern style and how fast and easy it is to make.

It was such a fun surprise in my mailbox.

Be sure to check out the Fall issue of Easy Quilts, not only to see my quilt.  There are many other wonderful quilt patterns featured too.

A warm thank you to Fon’s and Porter for the feature!

The picnic quilt top is finished… without any effort on my part, I might add.

You see, it was at my mom’s home…

And my sisters and I know, any quilting or sewing project left at my mom’s accidentally or otherwise, is somehow, magically finished overnight.

The back is a very dark lightweight demin… heavy enough for spending it’s time on the ground… but light enough to not weigh the quilt down.  This backing is perfect for hiding stains too- an essential element of any picnic quilt back.

The pattern is easy for a beginner quilter.  But easy as it is, there is nothing boring about this little picnic quilt. The stripes really give it energy.

I will share photos of the finished quilt as soon as it’s back from being quilted.

I am also working on a very fun “Quilt Carrier”- just perfect for any picnic quilt, which I can’t wait to share.

The pattern for the quilt is now available in my Pattern Shop.
