Striking Modern Quilt – Free Pattern

Featuring Riley Blake fabrics, this gorgeous design by Carina Gardner is called Ava Kate. To me it just screams summer because of the beautiful fabrics used.

I particularly love that dense floral border which brings the quilt all together and softens the squares and plus signs.

Measuring 70″ x 70″ when finished there is a trick to the eye in this design. It’s set on point even though you would not notice that at first glance. While not listed, I would say that this would not be a good quilt for a beginner to try, however a more confident sewist could assemble it easily.

The pattern is a pdf download and it has detailed instructions and illustrations.

With each page promising glimpses into the past and the present, I’m bracing myself for a heartwarming journey filled with love, hope, and the spirit of giving.

Being a part of the Elm Creek Quilts series has been a joyous experience, and I can’t wait to unwrap the magic of “The Christmas Quilt / The New Year’s Quilt” this holiday season. So, no spoilers, please—let the enchanting tale unfold as I cozy up with this beloved series once again.
