Buggy Ride Quilt and Free Quilt Block

Buggy Ride Quilt in Sugarcreek

Happy Tuesday Friends!  If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you saw a peek of this quilt yesterday. =)  And, today I am excited to tell you more about it.

Today is the 2nd day of the Moda Schoolhouse Blog Hop.  Last spring, each of the participating designers were asked to design an 18″ block featuring.  Since I was showing Sugarcreek fabrics (named after my hometown), I knew I wanted to design a block fitting for the area as well.

And you know if you follow me, (especially on Instagram) I am surrounded by farms, countryside, and all things Amish.  My Sunday Slowdown posts each week on Instagram show scenes from my neck of the woods.

So, I designed an Amish Buggy block–which I made into a pillow:

The buggy fabrics on both the quilt and the pillow are from my Sugarcreek wovens collection and all of the prints are from the Sugarcreek prints collection.

The Sugarcreek collection has just started shipping.  Sugarcreek wovens will be available soon.

I knew I wanted to make a quilt pattern using the block I designed and that I needed to make the quilt sooner rather than later.  And here it is. =)

I had the cutest little photo bomber as I took the pictures. =)  My Buggy Ride quilt is 66″ x 86″ and is Jelly Roll friendly.

I kept the prints in the same order they were in right out of the jelly roll, to keep that wonderful flow of soft, sherbet rainbow colors.

This was such a fun quilt to make.  And that beautiful quilting is by Kaylene Parry.  You can find her on Instagram @quilterlove66

I still need to bind my quilt but hope to check that off of the list soon!

The Buggy Ride quilt pattern is available in my shop right now on sale for just $5 through Sunday, September 29 .  It is available in both PDF and Paper versions.  And, even more fun….the one block pattern is free and you can download it below if you’d like to make just the pillow.  You can also collect all of the other 18″ blocks to create a sampler quilt—or make all kinds of pillows, wall hangings etc.

One note about the one block pattern…if you are using a charm pack, cut 2 1/2″ squares for the border.  A mini charm pack also works.
