Hello friends, this is Jennifer Long from, Bee Sew Inspired, fabric designer with Riley Blake Designs and a doll and quilt pattern designer.

This week on the blog we are inspired by the phrase down the rabbit hole and Riley Blake has the perfect fabric line for it.  It’s actually called “Down the Rabbit Hole” and was designed by Jill Howarth for Riley Blake.

This pattern is inspired by a classic fairy-tale where a Deck of Cards comes to life!!! The cards are laid on this quilt with some cards flipped over to reveal the “suit”, while other cards are showing the beautiful pattern backs of the cards.

This quilt is the perfect lap-size quilt and finishes at approximately 68”x 83. The fully illustrated, step-by-step instructions walk you through each block construction with traditional piecing techniques.

Let’s get creative! Just gather the supplies below, then download the pattern and letter labels. Don’t forget to share your Deck Of Cards Quilt on social media using the hashtag #BSImakersclub and tag @beesewinspired.

Hi Friends! I am so happy you are here. My name is Jennifer Long, and I am a Riley Blake Designs Fabric Designer, Quilt & Doll Pattern Writer, Machine Embroidery Digitizer, and online educator. I am also the founder of the Sew A Story Pattern Club and the Modern Rag Doll Membership. I am married and a mom to (4) pre-teens / teens and live on a little hobby farm in rural Prairie Canada. I grew up training to be a professional ballet dancer, and later studied Early Childhood Education. I taught ballet and ran my own dance studio all the while sewing and designing costumes for myself and many of my colleagues and students. I am passionate about all things FABRIC, imagination and design and am so blessed I can share this passion with others. This journey has inspired me to make a positive difference by designing dolls and quilt patterns and fabric for others to be EMPOWERED to sew themselves! I have designed dolls and quilts for individuals, organizations, companies, designers, authors of children’s books, and international companies for mass production. What I LOVE the most about creativity is finding INSPIRATION everywhere and, in turn, INSPIRING others to do the same! Thank you for joining me on this creative journey.
