A Quilt Inspired by Nature's Quiet Beauty
Some quilts invite us to slow down, enjoy the process, and appreciate the beauty found in everyday moments.
The Lily Pads Quilt is inspired by peaceful ponds, blooming flowers, and the calming rhythm of nature. Featuring the beautiful Boho Batiks collection by Jennifer Long for Riley Blake Designs, this quilt brings together rich, earthy colors and timeless prints in a design that's perfect for welcoming a new season.
This month's quilt is part of our September Pattern Club, where members are also creating the coordinating Butterfly Pillow.
A Technique to Practice: Traditional Quilt Piecing
The Lily Pads Quilt is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen your piecing skills.
As you work through the pattern, you'll practice Stitch and Flip (SNF) construction and create beautiful star blocks that come together to form the finished quilt. These timeless techniques help build confidence and are ones you'll use again and again in future quilting projects.
About the Lily Pads Quilt
The finished quilt measures approximately 54" × 66", making it the perfect size to display in your home, drape over a favorite chair, or enjoy during a cozy afternoon of stitching.
The warm tones and hand-dyed look of the Boho Batiks collection create a timeless quilt that you'll enjoy displaying long after the season has changed.
