Happy Tuesday! Today I have a free quilt pattern download to share. This quilt pattern was originally released in my short-lived newsletter, but I thought I'd make it available for download here on my blog!
Fenced In can be made with 15 fat quarters or 50 jelly roll strips. For my quilt I used my friend Holly's Brushstrokes fabric collection.Find fat quarter bundles of Brushstrokes in Holly's shop, here.

ReplyDeleteLove this...I always have strips left from projects...24 large shoebox/totes full and all color coded at this writing. Going to start making strip sets today!
ReplyDeleteHow did you quilt turn out? I have scraps to use up as well.
DeleteWonderful springy quilt!! Thanks for writing up the directions.
ReplyDeleteA sweet quilt for a sweet girl.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Thank you for sharing your pattern!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the first quilt I ever made back in 2002, I think it was called Split Rail Fence or something like that. It's the only strip pieced quilt I ever made and I was so unsure of myself that I let the little old ladies at the quilt shop tell me the "rules" of picking fabrics for quilts... Let's just say there ended up being a lot more beige and brown in that quilt than I would have cared for! Seeing your pattern in modern pastels reminds me that fabric choices can make a huge difference! I like yours so much better than mine...
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this pattern. It looks super cute and easy, too!
ReplyDeleteLove this pattern! I am the leader of our church's quilt group of 10 ladies and 1 man. I hope it is okay to share your pattern. We quilt for charity.
ReplyDeleteThank You.
