What better way to celebrate Worldwide Quilting Day than to kick off the Prairie Home Sampler Sew Along from Lori Holt’s Prairie Home Quilt Book?! This quilt has everything a pioneering quilter could wish to sew, from prairie blooms to bonnets and baskets. Keep reading for all the details needed to participate in the quilty fun!
About The Quilt
A sampler quilt is a great way to celebrate a new quilting book because you get a little taste of everything the book has to offer in one scrumptious quilt! The finished Prairie Home Sampler quilt measures 73.5″ x 77.5″ and is a mix of 32 of our favorite blocks from Lori’s book.
Fabric Requirements and Supplies
The cutting guides for the blocks in the Prairie Home Quilt Book differ a little bit from what you will need for the Prairie Home Sampler Quilt. So, we will be sharing new cutting guides for each block around the 15th of every month here on the blog and as FREE PDFs on the Prairie Home Sampler Sew Along Supplies Page. Below is the full list of supplies and fabric that you will need for your Prairie Home Sampler Quilt:
- Prairie Home Quilt Book by Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet Co.
- Prairie Home Sampler Quilt Fabric Requirements & Sew Along Schedule Free PDF
- Prairie Home Sampler Quilt Finishing Pattern PDF by It’s Sew Emma
- Backgrounds Bee Bundle Limited Edition Fat Quarter Bundle
- Colors Bee Bundle Limited Edition Fat Quarter Bundle
- 1 1/4 yards of Bee Plaids Pebble Lattice for the Sashing and Inner Border
- 1/2 yards of Prim Pewter Sweet for the Middle Border
- 1 7/8 yards of Prairie Sea Glass Rose Heirloom for the Outer Border
- 7/8 yards of Prim Pebble Gingham for the Binding
Kimberly is sewing hers with fabrics from these bundles and will be swapping the purple fabrics for other colors along the way. We sew look forward to seeing the ways you make this quilt your own!
