Today we’re continuing with the sixth block of The Ultimate Beginner Quilt. It’s called Lattice, and we are sew ready to help you get quilting as we tackle the next block!
The Ultimate Beginner Quilt is a free quilt pattern series with video tutorials designed just for beginners. Even if you have zero sewing experience, this is the free quilt class for you! If you’re joining us for the first time, catch up on the previous blocks and then come back to join us for this one!

In the Block 6 tutorial, Kimberly covers how to sew the Lattice, which uses corner square triangles. Learn best practices for placing and sewing connector corners. It’s good preparation for making Flying Geese units, which we’ll tackle in Block 7. Download your FREE pattern for Block 6. For the full video and all the patterns released so far, please visit the introduction post.
Kimberly made her version with Bella Solids by Moda Fabrics, and we even have The Ultimate Beginner Quilt Kit with all the fabrics and backing included to make it easy for you. The quilt can also be made in other colors and fabrics found at Fat Quarter Shop. You can refer to this downloadable PDF for Fabric Requirements & Coloring Sheets to plan yours.
For those just starting out, we’ve collected some of our favorite top-quality notions in The Ultimate Sewing Notions Kit to give you a good start on your quilting journey. The kit contains some must-haves that are always at our sewing table.
Here are the Lattice blocks made in different colorways by our wonderful FQS staffers.

Thank you so much . Janet
That’s wonderful! It’s fun for us to teach new quilters.
TY for such a great series. I am keeping up with my blocks and feel so accomplished with your instructions. I also think your videos are great at explaining why you do things are certain way and I have learned so much.
Hi Kimberly, I keep trying to download the blocks but the only ones I can download are 7 and 9. Could you help me download the other blocks as I really would like to work on this quilt.
Thank you
