Hi Quilty Friends! I’m Melanie Call from A Bit of Scrap Stuff (Blog) (Instagram) and I’m excited to share my Sunrise Quilt with the gorgeous Enchanted Meadow Fabric Collection designed by Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake Designs. Once I saw all the cute woodland animals – I knew this collection would need a quilt pattern with large blocks so the fabric would shine. My Sunrise Quilt Pattern is the perfect match!
I’m often asked how I achieve matching points in my quilts. My quilting secret is the Riley Blake Designs Quilter’s or Tailor’s Clapper for pressing plus I use my AccuQuilt GO! dies for cutting perfect pieces.
I loved selecting two coordinating Enchanted Meadow prints for each Sunrise Quilt block. My favorite print is the Enchanted Meadows Forest Animals print…I absolutely love the cute critters. Plus I love that I can fussy cut the center of the Sunrise Blocks, which is perfect for focusing your favorite bits of fabric. Fussy Cutting Tips – on my blog here.
I chose to add a border to my Sunrise Quilt because I love love love the Enchanted Meadow Forest Animal print … the deer, fox, rabbit, hedgehog, and florals are just too cute! Adding a border to your quilt is the perfect way to show your favorite print AND make your quilt larger for cuddling with! Adding an outer border instructions on my blog here.
The Sunrise Quilt uses 18 Enchanted Meadow fat quarters plus background and sashing.
I’m definitely ready for spring as my Enchanted Meadow Sunrise Quilt is perfect for picnics!
