Patchwork quilt patterns – 10 free downloads by Tilda

I know it’s midsummer right now, so it might seem a bit daft to get stuck into quilting as the sun’s splitting the flags. But, if you’re anything like me, this is the sort of project that you’ll need to allow plenty of time for. You might well not be like me at all – and perfectly able to whip up one of these beautiful quilts in a matter of days. In which case, by all means save the idea for later in the year and enjoy then!

For those of us that like to take our time with creative projects (and tend to lose our way slightly) I’m thinking that now is the perfect time to make a start. Choose the pattern, pick out your fabric combinations and begin to cut out and sew. Choosing the pattern will take time – that’s before I (we?) even begin to think about fabric combinations.

As far as choosing the right pattern is concerned, I don’t think you can go far wrong with Tilda – pretty designs with gorgeous collections of fabrics to choose from.

I’ve gone through the masses of lovely free patchwork quilt patterns on Tildas World and picked out my top 10 favourites. That bit alone took me ages – it’s so hard to choose. Hope you like my selection!

Before you start, the patterns all recommend the following supplies:

How stunning is this spectacular design from the latest Tilda collection? It’s made using fabrics from the new Solids fabric collection and reminiscent of floral needlepoint embroideries, recreated here using a subtle mixture of solid fabrics on a dark peacock background. The design is made up of just squares in a single size, so there’s lots of easy cutting and sewing, although for the best result you do have to match up seams neatly when sewing the patches together.

For the background, individual squares are used throughout rather than strips, to continue the appearance of an embroidery. Difficulty rating is Easy, so why not get cracking? It’s something sure to be loved for decades to come, don’t you think?

This is the Flower Vase pattern, also inspired by needlepoint.
