I’m excited to share another variation of one of my post popular quilt patterns of all time: my Lattice Quilt pattern. This quilt is perfect for showing-off beautiful big prints as well as using up a favorite 10″ x 10″ stack of fabric precuts (also known as Layer Cakes).
I figured it was time for an update, since the fabrics in the original version are pretty hard to come by now. But since the original looked so good in Amy Butler fabrics, I thought why not do it again this time using Amy Butler’s Dreamweaver collection.
This quilt was finished in time to teach this Lattice Quilt pattern as a class at Winter Quiltfest this past weekend. It was so fun to see what fabrics other people used. It’s such a good pattern for showing off big bold prints.
A huge shout out to my friend Diane for being my stunt-double and piecing this one for me in time to take to Quiltfest. And to Melissa from Sew Shabby Quilting for doing the quilting.
In addition to the Dream Weaver cottons, we also used a piece of the Voile so we could get that darker, ink-y blue in there. We also added a few extra Free Spirit prints to the mix to bring out a few more colors including a red Heather Bailey Clementine print and a gold Anna Maria Horner Folk Song print.
I also added a couple of Amy Butler’s True colors prints, including this bright pink Cotton Blossom Fig that we used for the Cornerstones and Binding. I love the way it pops against the other colors.
The Lattice pattern comes in Throw, Twin, Queen, and King sizes and is available in my Pattern Shop in downloadable PDF and hard copy Paper versions. (If you are purchasing from the EU, please buy it from my Etsy shop as they can take care of all the VAT issues. Thanks.)
The Dreamweaver fabric collection is out of print now, but there are some Dreamweaver pieces still available on Etsy here and here.
I took these snow pictures while I was away teaching in Logan last weekend. It’s a rural area and there was lots of gorgeous, fresh snow as a backdrop. I got out of my car to use that awesome fence and ended up in snow up to my knees (which wasn’t part of the original plan when I spotted this location) just to get these shots, soaking my legs in the process.
But I think it was worth it. It’s all about paying the price for a great quilt shot, right? 😉

I made your Brickyard pattern quilt, and I loved it! I am thinking that it is time for me to try another, and the Lattice quilt looks to be right up my alley! I love the color palette!
Amy Smart
Oh that’s so cool! Yes – it’s a good one for plying with and showing-off fabrics.
Janie
Your photos are fabulous and so is that quilt! Thanks for sharing, Amy.
Amy Smart
Thanks Janie!
Karen Seitz
Such a gorgeous quit and beautiful photographs! Yes, it was worth it but it wasn’t my legs getting soaked. I hope your drive home was easier then mine. 🙂
Amy Smart
Thanks Karen. It was so much fun to meet you!! I felt bad that I didn’t say goodbye the last day. I was having tire issues and so worried about getting home in the storm that I snuck out early. Sounds like your drive was not fun. Yikes. Glad you made it home eventually, but sorry for the stress! Great to see you. I hope our paths cross again! xo

This is really gorgeous! I am making a quilt with Amy Butler fabrics right now, and I just adore how bright and colorful they are!
Amy Smart
They are so pretty! So much cheerful color.

Love this quilt, Amy! The fabrics and colors are awesome! What a beautiful backdrop for the photos!
Amy Smart
Thank you Sandra. xo
Diane
Love the pictures! Love the quilt! Great pull! (You so didn’t need to give me a shout-out. I thought my sewing was our little secret!
Amy Smart
Of course I’m going to give you a shout-out! You helped so much! I couldn’t have done it without you.

It’s gorgeous Amy!! I love how it shows off the prints so much!
Amy Smart
Thanks Bev! They’re such fun prints to show off!
Jocelyn
Beautiful!
Jerusha Beckstead
I am so glad that you gave the added the added fabric details, they fit in perfect and I might be searching them out because just like you said they finish it beautifully… a pop of color here, some added variation there. Thanks Amy, for sharing your talents with us.
Lizzie
Oh, what a beautiful update! Super that you had such a good sunny double, longarmer, and quilt staging technician! There’s nothing as fine as snowy light for quilts. That AB True Colors print for binding (and cornerstones?) really makes this sparkle!
Susan
Love it, Amy! And you are right, this is a great pattern to show off big bold prints that get lost when you cut small pieces. You can really showcase the fabrics in this one!
Kathleen
These fabrics are beautiful together! Wish it came as a kit!
Cindy Pilkington
Beautiful choice of colors! Thanks for sharing!
Tawnya
Beautiful quilt! Do you ever make kits?
Amy Smart
Not often, but I was considering it with this quilt. Email me: amy@diaryofaquilter.com

Such pretty, cheerful fabrics–and it looks great against the snowy back-drop!

That looks so beautiful Amy! The Blossom Fig cornerstones and binding are the crowning touch – Wonderful!
Jamie
Gorgeous! I love how you remade a quilt! Wish I had more time to do that. The colors in this are so beautiful!
Amber
So fab Amy! I found your blog through U Create and I’m so happy that I did. Love your quilts and the fabric that you use are so pretty.;) Like the colors and pattern.
I featured your Valentine’s throw pillow project that I found on U Create so I thought I would drop here to personally tell you and thank you. Here is the link of the post, https://sewingmadesimple.net/valentines-day-gifts-to-sew/
Carol
BEAUTIFUL! Bought your pattern and some Amy Butler fabrics. Have never set a quilt on point before. Any notes, tips or videos available from the Winter Quiltfest on how to keep it from stretching on the bias? Thanks.
Sara Lara
Amy, I love, love and loved this remake of Lattice Quilt pattern. Snowy background shot took this amazing quilt to a whole new level. Thanks for sharing this. I’m a new fan.
Amy Smart
Thank you Sara!
Debbie
Can Charm squares be used instead? I have several charm packs.
Thank You,
Debbie
I am enjoying your craftsy class.
Amy Smart
Thanks Debbie! The charm squares are a different size so it changes the scale of the quilt. But you’re in luck! I’ve written a simple tutorial for a similar quilt that does use charm squares: https://www.modabakeshop.com/2011/10/baby-lattice-quilt.html

My daughter has just taken up interest in seeing. I will share this with her I’m sure she will love it!
