- Here's all the measurements for the individual blocks and the final quilt size:
70x 9" square blocks made up of:
70x squares for the top of the quilt
70x squares for the back of the quilt
plus 70x 7.5" squares of wadding (I used 70% recycled polyester / 30% cotton)
(You'll also need extra fabric for appliqué shapes if you decide to add those plus interfacing)
Seam allowance for joining the blocks: 1/2" (and not 3/4", as I had originally planned).
Size of the finished quilt (7x blocks per row / 10x rows): a whopping 54" x 79" ! (You can obviously make it smaller, if you wish - just make the blocks smaller or have less per row and / or less rows).
Have lots of fun & enjoy a nice cup of tea, a good book or a spot of relaxing hand stitching snuggled under your finished quilt! 😍

p.s. As previously mentioned, the fabrics were gifted to me by @freespiritfabrics5457 for my first project as part of their 'Circle of Makers' during the Influencer Tour 2024. They are from the Morris & Co. 'Emery Walker' collection.

This is one if not THE most beautiful quilt I’ve ever seen! Even the back is beautiful! You are a wonderful artist 👏🏻👏🏻💙🤎♥️💛💚💜🩵🩷🧡❤️🤍🩶
Wow, thank you! That is high praise, indeed! I wish you could see and feel it in person! ❤️❤️❤️
I've already had an unexpected amount of use out of it due to the strange 'summer' weather we've been having.. (fine by me lol, I prefer a quilt over 30 degrees any day! 😂)
Sending you lots of stitchy love and quilty hugs 🙋♀️🤗🤗🤗😍🧵🪡🥰🥰🥰
@@bluebellhillcrafts I wish I could see it in person too 😍🤗🤗🤗💙💙💙
❤️❤️❤️
I think this will be my next project! 🎉thank you
Wonderful! I'm SO thrilled to hear it! 😍
If you have any questions at all along the way, please pop them in the comments here and I'll do my best to answer them.
I hope you'll enjoy the process as much as I did and, I'm sure, the finished quilt will be worth the time and effort!
I'm actually sipping a coffee underneath this very quilt as I'm typing and I can tell you, it's super cozy!
Have fun! 🙋♀️
So very pretty
Much appreciated and very kind of you to say! Thanks so much for watching! 🙋♀️
So beautiful ! Wonderful tutorial. Thanks for explaining it so well. I hope to make one someday.
You are most welcome, thanks so much for watching!
I hope you will make one, this type of quilt is just so super snuggly with all this lovely texture across the top..
Happy quilting! 🙋♀️
Jetzt weiß ich erst, wieviel Arbeit in so einem Quilt steckt, dank deiner detaillierten Erklärung. Das Endprodukt ist super schön geworden. Wieviele Arbeitsstunden stecken in so einer Decke? Unbezahlbar❣️‼️
Also in diesem Quilt hier schätze ich so um die 100 Stunden, Dank der 70x Applikationen.. Wahrscheinlich noch mehr wenn ich mir überlege wie viel Zeit ich damit verbracht habe mir das Muster auszudenken und wie oft ich meine Meinung geändert habe.. 😂😂🤭
I love this quilt! I have so much fabric I have thrifted and this will be a perfect use for it. Do you happen to have a couple of templates for the leaves and hearts? I am new to sewing and have no idea where I could get those to try. Thanks so much for sharing!
I'm SO pleased to hear that you love this quilt! It's honestly a great way to practice your sewing skills as it's very forgiving and can hide a whole load of wonky seams thanks to all the snipped seam allowances..! It would look absolutely stunning as a colourful 'scrappy' kind of a quilt with lots of different fabrics, colours and patterns mixed together. Just make sure they are all woven and not knit fabrics.
As to the hearts & leaves - somewhere at the beginning of this video I'm drawing out the heart along the fold of a piece of paper and that's how I made my heart shape. I've just measured it and it's pretty much dead on 3" from the V tip at the top of the heart to the bottom tip of the heart. If you make two dots along the folded edge as a size guide, you can then draw a half heart shape, cut it out and then unfold the paper so you've got your full heart shape, if that makes sense? If the upper curves are too high or full, you can fold the paper in half again and cut off some of the curve to take it in. By folding the paper first you'll make sure both halves will be symmetrical.
Once you're happy with the shape it's worth tracing it on some card stock which will be easier to use later on.
I made the leaf shape in the same way, but the half leaf I drew along the folded edge of the paper was a tiny bit more of an egg shape than a perfectly symmetrical curve towards both points. I thought a slightly fuller curve on one half of the leaf would look more organic / stylised.
I really hope you'll have a go - this type of quilting is a lot of fun and the finished quilt will be super snuggly!
Do let me know if you have any other questions about the process and I'll try to help.
Have fun! 🙋♀️☺️
p.s. the leaf shape measures 2 and 7/8" from tip to tip and 1.5" across at the widest point.
@@bluebellhillcrafts thank you so very much for your explanation and advice.
You are most welcome!
Can you tell me how far from the edge you stitched your decorative border. Your quilt is so beautiful!❤
How far is the decorative stitching from the edge of each quilt block I meant. 😬🙂
So sorry- I’m still going through the comments from during my month off social media..
The important thing with stitching the decorative border on each square is to sew inside the wadding square as the border is intended to fix the wadding in place and prevent it from shifting or bunching up. I think on average I’ve sewn ca 2cm minimum away from the edge of the wadding square. I hope that makes sense ☺️
Happy quilting!
And thank you for watching 😍🙋♀️
beautiful 🤩 can it be webbed together?
Thank you! ☺️
I guess it would be technically possible, but I’m just wondering whether all of the additional weight of having the blocks already pre-quilted would make webbing them together too cumbersome. It’s a great technique when you’re just dealing with one layer of fabric, but managing the weight of the whole quilt throughout the whole webbing process would be difficult. Joining each row individually is much easier and quicker with rag quilt blocks, I imagine. If you try webbing, I’d be interested to hear how you get on with it!
Happy quilting 🙋♀️
