This lightweight, nine patch quilt is perfect for a springtime snuggle on the sofa. Geometric, linear prints are juxtaposed with organic, natural designs, bringing a hint of exoticism into your home. Chosen from Art Gallery Fabric’s Luxe in Bloom range, designed by Sarah Watson, the colour scheme combines lively shades of citron with cool tones of silver and cobalt, making it and our accompanying cushion a breath of fresh air for any room.
Sew a quilt
Cut material into 14cm squares; 20 pieces from fabrics ‘A-D’ and 10 from fabric ‘E’. Cut from the short edge to leave the remaining cloth as wide as possible. Taking four squares of ‘A’ and ‘C’, and one of ‘E’, arrange in a three by three grid with ‘E’ at the centre and ‘C’ in each corner. Sew together with a 5mm seam allowance and press.
Arrange and stitch a second three by three grid using four squares of fabric; ‘D’ in each corner, one square of ‘E’ in the centre and four of ‘B’ in the remaining spaces. Keep these two blocks for reference and make up the remaining squares of fabric in the same way.
Take each square and cut into quarters, straight through the middle of the centre square. Lay out the smaller squares into an alternating pattern so that the smallest pieces from fabric ‘E’ all sit in the top left corners. The narrow bands of ‘A’ and ‘B’ will form zig zag lines running diagonally up the quilt top, which should be five blocks wide
