Prairie Garden Quilt Pattern

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.

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.
