Window Wall Quilt - Free Pattern - Featuring Poppie Cotton's Finding Wonder

 Hi Makers!

As Spring is on it's way and we look out the window you can find so much wonder.  This free quilt pattern, Window Wall, is perfect for Poppie Cotton's newest collection, Finding Wonder by Sheri McCulley.  It also work well for any large print fabric so that you can show it off.  

Window Wall


To make this quilt you can use 7 fat quarters, 1 1/2 yards of a solid background fabric 3/4 yard for binding, and 4 yards of fabric for backing..  This sweet throw is 58-inches square.  If you want to make it larger add an additional border or use another fat quarter and add an extra row. 

Cut each fat quarter into three pieces:
    Column One - 6.5 x 20.5 inches
    Column Two - 6.5 x 16.5 inches
    Column Three - 6.5 x 14.5 inches

From the background fabric cut: 
    [6] 2.5 x 20.5 inches for Column One
    [6] 2.5 x 16.5 inches for Column Two
    [6] 2.5 x 14.5 inches for Column Three
    [9] 2.5 x WOF strips to piece together for the column sashing and border.

For each column sew together the seven prints and six background strips.  Begin with a alternate a print rectangle and background strip.  End the column with a print rectangle as show in the illustration. Repeat this patter for column two and three.

Sew together three of the 2.5 x WOF strips.  Trim each to 54.5 inches.  Save the remaining background strip for the border.  Use the strips to join together Column one and two and then add an addition background strip to the right edge of column two and add column three. 

Sew together the remaining 2.5 x WOF strips. Trim two strips to 54.5-inches and sew a strip to the left and right sides of the quilt top.  Trim the remaining 2.5-inch strip to two 58.5-inches and sew to the top and bottom of the quilt top.  

Make your quilt sandwich with the backing, batting an quilt top.  quilt as desired on a domestic machine or longarm.  Bind, label, wash and snuggle.
