How To’s Day: New Bohemian Quilt by Sarah Laws Made

November 18th, 2014 by Camelot Fabrics

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. So much wind here today! The sun is out and there’s snow on the ground…but it’s freezing out there, so we’re glad to be inside. It’s the last day to enter our Fresh Solids Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so be sure to enter if you haven’t yet. It’s a good one, guys!

 

And speaking of our Fresh Solids…this week’s How To’s Day features our stunning solids in our New Bohemian Quilt by Sarah Laws Made. Sarah Laws created a couple of wonderful exclusive free quilt patterns for our Free Projects Program, which we are so incredibly enthused to share with you. Sarah’s style is modern and fresh, characteristics that embody who we are at Camelot Fabrics so we were thrilled to work with such a creative pattern designer. Our New Bohemian Quilt is a quilt of triangles sewn together to create a really cool pattern of intricate details and geometric shapes. The colors from our Fresh Solids are vibrant and exuberant, and work perfectly together to create this boho-inspired design.

1. Sew a 5-1/4” Fabric B square to a 5-1/4” Fabric F square around all (4) sides.
2. Cut the squares into (4) triangles as shown and open them up to make (4) HST units.
Repeat with the following pairs of 5-1/4” squares:(Note: since each pair of 5-1/4” squares yields (4) HST units, you’ll sometimes have extra HSTs.)

3. Referring to the Assembly Layout, sew the HST units together in rows. The top & bottom rows will have a 3-1/4” Fabric A square on each end.
4. Sew the rows together top-to-bottom to complete the quilt top.

 

 

 

FINISHING THE QUILT:
