Today, we’re taking a walk through the garden with our new recoloring of a pattern that’s a breath of fresh air! Get ready to be swept away by the lovely lattice and stunning stars in the Garden Lattice Quilt Kit featuring the Al Fresco Quilt Pattern by A Quilting Life that we recolored using the Collections for a Cause: Essence collection by Howard Marcus Dunn for Moda Fabrics! Keep reading to explore this refreshing recolor and watch a video tutorial walking you through the large and small star blocks.
Garden Lattice Quilt Kit
The Garden Lattice Quilt Kit includes all the fabric you need to complete the 65.5″ x 65.5″ quilt top and binding from Collections for a Cause: Essence by Howard Marcus Dunn for Moda Fabrics. It also includes a print version of the Al Fresco Quilt Pattern by A Quilting Life. Together, they make one essential quilt kit that will make starting this quilt a walk in the garden!
Al Fresco Quilt Pattern
The Al Fresco Quilt Pattern has lots of little pieces, but if you take everything in little steps, you can do it! Before you turn on your favorite podcast, show, or movie to play while you piece your way through this quilt, here is what you will need to pick up:
- 34 Fat Eighths
- 3 1/2 yards of background fabric
- 1/8 yard of fabric for the sashing post
- 1 1/8 yards of fabric for the outer border
- 5/8 yard of fabric for the binding
- 4 1/8 yards of fabric for the backing
***Moda is donating a portion of the proceeds of the Collections for a Cause: Essence collection to directrelief.org. Find more information about the causes Direct Relief supports in all 50 states and around the world here.
