Tutorial – Meadow Prism Quilt

I found this pretty quilt on the Hoffman Fabrics Website.  It is called Meadow Prism by Karen Cunagin and the pattern is available as a free download by clicking the link.  The quilt finishes at 54″ x 66″ and is labeled as easy.  Here is the absolute best part to me:

 

Spring-fabric

 

This fabric is called Spring.  Is that not just the most perfect name?!  I am not really a flower fan, but I would totally be on board with using this in a quilt.  Unfortunately this fabric is no longer available but I am going to hunt for a good replacement.

 

Here is the first three rows, showing four blocks in each row:

You start with a 6.5″ block of the focus fabric followed by a three-strip block comprised of 2.5″ X 6.5″ strips sewn together. The three-strip block is sewn by alternating between a horizontal or vertical placement.  The entire layout is consists of 9 blocks by 11 blocks.   Here are couple more fabrics you might substitute as an alternative to Spring mentioned and pictured above:

Meadow Fabric Alternatives:

Offered by Benartex Fabrics, the black fabric is called Wildflower Meadow Toss Black, and the second one is Wildflowers Cream.  I am intrigued by the Wildflower Meadow Toss Black, mainly because it is well outside of our normal wheelhouse.  I think the size/scale of the flowers is good – they should represent well in both the 6.5″ size as well as the 2.5″ strip.  Perhaps <gasp> I would not make a baby quilt from this pattern either.  I know, did I just say that?!

 

This finishes off at 54″ x 66″.  You could easily add a few more blocks to make it bigger or knock off a few for a baby size quilt.

  2. I love the Wildflower Meadows fabric with the black background. I see many possibilities for that fabric.

      Hi Peggy! I agree! I didn’t think I would be able to find a replacement for the Spring fabric . . . but this might just work well. Or for some other pattern. ~smile~ Roseanne
