Hello friends! This is Jennifer Long from Sew A Story, a fabric designer with Riley Blake Designs and a doll and quilt pattern designer.
The Prairie Garden Quilt Pattern was designed to be a simple sew (all straight pieced sewing) with striking visual beauty. There is no sashing in this beginner-friendly quilt pattern and the spacing is achieved through accent fabric and rotating blocks. Imagine the open prairies when you sew this quilt!

The Prairie Garden Quilt pattern finishes at a wonderful lap size of 48” x 60” and is traditionally pieced with only straight seams! This quilt can go together in a weekend. The Prairie Garden Quilt Pattern features Country Life Fabric designed by Jennifer Long for Riley Blake Designs and is fat quarter-friendly.
