SKILL LEVEL

Absolute beginner

This is an approachable first quilt made entirely from large squares and straight seams. There are no triangles, curves, templates, appliqué, complicated blocks, or partial seams.

ABOUT THE DESIGN

The quilt uses six coordinated fabrics arranged in a controlled scrappy layout. Each fabric appears exactly five times, creating an evenly balanced patchwork design without identical fabrics touching along an edge.

The suggested Christmas cottage palette includes:

Muted cranberry microfloral
Warm antique-cream floral
Faded-pine floral
Dusty-berry botanical
Oatmeal floral
Soft-sage floral

For the closest match to the pictured quilt, choose dense, small-scale florals with tiny berries, leaves, vines, and blossoms. Non-directional prints are recommended.

FINISHED SIZE

Approximately 60 x 72 inches before washing

The assembled quilt top measures approximately 60½ x 72½ inches before quilting and final trimming. Normal quilting compression and washing may make the completed quilt slightly smaller.

Cranberry microfloral: 1 yard
Warm-cream microfloral: 1 yard
Faded-pine microfloral: 1 yard

Finishing materials:

Pine fabric for binding: ¾ yard
Backing fabric: 5 yards
Batting: at least 69 x 81 inches

Each quilt-top fabric produces five 12½-inch squares. Purchase additional fabric when using directional designs, large repeats, narrower fabric, or motifs that require fussy cutting.
