Meet the Briarcreek Blooms Quilt Pattern

I'm excited to introduce my latest new quilt pattern, Briarcreek Blooms! This rose wreath design is a little bit outside the box for me. I wanted to design a sweet, feminine pattern to go with my Mary Catherine fabric collection that will be arriving in stores in September. This collection is a bit of a love letter to mid-century girlhood and I wanted to design a quilt that would capture that heirloom, girl-y vibe. The result is this prim but playful rosebud wreath surrounded by bows and picot points for a soft ode to girlhood.

Briarcreek Blooms throw hanging on a wall; light background with floral blocks and tidy pieced frames.

This quilt can be made in a scrappy color palette. I made this one with all of the colored and low-volume prints from the Mary Catherine collection. Or it can be made with a limited palette or solids as you'll see below.

The quilt is pieced with traditional-piecing methods including log cabin blocks, flying geese and sew-and-flip corners. The design looks more complex than it really is, making this quilt really do-able for any confident beginner!

Three Size Options for Briarcreek Blooms Quilts

I love the variety of patchwork borders in this medallion-style quilt. As a result of those different borders, this quilt has three different size options. You can choose the size based on how many borders you want to add!

The 40" x 40" baby size quilt consists of just the rosebud wreath, framed by the background fabric. It's perfect for a sweet baby gift.

Here's a look at the 56" x 56" Lap size version, framed by the blue ribbon and bows.

Baby-size Briarcreek Blooms laid flat; simple wreath center and narrow borders on a low-volume white.

This version is made with Riley Blake Confetti Cottons in the following colors:

Cloud (White Background)
Pinks: Champagne Pink, Mellow Rose, Marsala
"Red": Canyon Rose
Greens: Sage, Pistachio, Lodge Pine
Blues: Wedgwood, and Stargazer

Lap-size Briarcreek Blooms laid flat; simple rosebud wreath center and pieced bow borders in Confetti Cotton solids.

The quilting on both of these quilt was done by Melissa Kelley of Sew Shabby Quilting. I choose the Macintosh Rose pantograph. I love the way the big blooms echo the rosebud blocks and give texture to the quilt.

The Large Throw is 74" x 74" and includes a scrappy, Picot Points (or Flying Geese) border - perfect for including lots of prints from a collection. I love how the muted storybook colors of the Mary Catherine collection play cheerfully with this quilt.

The Happy Little Stitch Shop is offering a quilt kit for the 74" x 74" Mary Catherine version of this quilt. It will ship in September after the fabric arrives in stores.
