Petal Lane Mini Quilt with FREE Pattern

Petal Lane is a fresh new fabric line designed by Bo Bunny. The sweet Spring color palette combined with organic, nature inspired design comes together in a delightful feast for the eyes!

When this little bundle of happy mail arrived, I had to let it sit on my table for several days jut to admire the beautiful prints.

I decided this would make a lovely little mini quilt – perfect for hanging on the wall or a cheerful centerpiece. Riley Blake Designs offers a plethora of free downloadable mini quilt designs, and I opted to use the beautiful Garden Path pattern. It is simple to make, and could easily be turned into a decorative pillow just by adding a pillow back.

For this project, you will need:

1/8 yard Cream Petal Floral (border)
1/4 yard Pink Petal Main
1/4 yard Pink Petal Sweet
1/4 Yard Pink Petal Posh
1/4 yard Pink Petal Posies
3/8 yard Off White Linen (LN300)
1/4 yard Pink Petal Delightful (border)
fabric for quilt back (I used scraps)

Follow the instructions for the Garden Path Mini Quilt HERE. The finished quilt measures approximately 20” x 20”.

For the off white background, I used one of Riley Blake Designs’ new Linen fabrics in Off White. It adds a lovely texture and quilts up beautifully.

To prepare for quilting, I spray basted, then pressed the layers. Pressing helps the spray adhesive hold the layers together better, and also helps to smooth out any wrinkles.

Ready to quilt! I love how the off white Linen fabric works in these pinwheel blocks to really make each print pop!

I quilted rows 1/4” apart starting in one corner, then going down to the center, pivoting on the center line to make a “V” shape, then back toward the opposite corner.

For the binding, cut your Pink Petal Delightful fabric into three 2.5” x WOF strips. I like to use this Fast Machine Binding method by Amy Smart of Diary of a Quilter.
