Happy first day of summer my sewing friends!!!
I was thinking how fun it is to celebrate summer with a picnic quilt and decided that everyone needs to make a fun picnic quilt to keep in the back of the car or like me, on your porch where it’s at the ready!
If you’ve never made a quilt before, this is a great one to start with! Very little sewing and a whole lot of fun to make! I’ve written a tutorial full of step by step instructions and pictures to help you! AND if you have made quilts, then this is a fun one to whip up in a day!
Gather your supplies, print up the free tutorial here, and get started today!

This is a simple quilt where I show you how to do a “cheater binding” to finish it up with mitered corners and easy machine sewing.
I hope you will enjoy sewing this easy summer picnic quilt! Be sure to message me @redfeedsack if you have any questions or want to share your pictures!
Happy picnicking my friends!!
I'm Dori, from Tennessee. I don't remember a time in my life that I didn't enjoy crafting, sewing, and creating in all forms. I live in a farmhouse that my husband and I built way up on the hill of our Tennessee farm! Nothing brings about the desire to create like looking out my studio window!
