Free Bird Quilt Pattern

Hi everyone, I don’t know about you, but with the crazy cold temperatures here, I’m in the mood for spring! And so it’s with great excitement that I’m releasing a new quilt pattern today. It’s called “Free Bird” and I love the simplicity of this one. It’s super fast and easy to make and is even good for beginners.

 

My fabric choices:

For this quilt I used a mix of Tilda Apple Bloom and Bumblebee fabric for the patterned areas, and Moda Bella Solid white 9900-97 for the white triangles. Their lines tend to have a nice vintage look to them and I think they blend well together. You can find Tilda fabric online and on Etsy . Willow Cottage Quilt Co also sells Tilda and offers US shipping!

 

The backing I used is from the Bee Backgrounds (C6381) line by Lori Holt and I think it’s one of my all time favorite prints for backing!
