Blueberry Lattice Quilt Pattern

Is there anything cozier than settling down in your quilt studio on a snowy afternoon? If you’ve been searching for the perfect quilt to work on this month, don’t miss this stunning winter quilt pattern from Debi Schmitz. Made in rich blue batiks against a stark white background, this lattice quilt pattern measures at 72 inches by 108 inches and features a lovely design of interlocked blocks. Give your living space a snug, warm feeling by adding this beautiful lattice quilt to your winter décor.

Finished Size: 72 inches x 108 inches

Designer Notes:

• Because Debi used batiks and white cotton fabric, there is no right or wrong side visible. If you use a fabric with a dominant side, be mindful of the fabric side when sewing.
• The designer recommends making one of each block to make sure everything lines up correctly or make adjustments as needed.
• Always measure twice and cut once. Also, keep your pieces pressed between steps.
• Press seams toward the darkest fabric. If white on white, press the seams toward the square or rectangle if possible.

ASSEMBLING THE QUILT:

Note: All block 2 pieces will be lined up with the 2A edge along the outside of the quilt.

Row 1-  (1) Block 1, (6) Block 2- every other one reversed, (1) Block 1

Row 2 through 11- (1) Block 2, (6) Block 3, (1) Block 2

Row 12- (1) Block 1, (6) Block 2- every other one reversed, (1) Block 1

1. Pin all seams before sewing.
   
   
2. Press the entire quilt top one last time.
3. Make a quilt sandwich with the white fabric on the table first- 90 inches x 108 inches, batting- 90 inches x 108 inches, and the quilt on top.
4. Secure the three layers of fabric with safety pins every 4-6 inches. Make sure the length lines up since the quilt measures 108 inches long. Make sure fabrics are pressed flat.
5. Quilt as desired. Debi quilted a checker pattern in every large white opening. She then marked all her lines with an acrylic ruler and a water-soluble sewing marker. The lines were 1/2 inch apart. Debi quilted with a Handiquilter Amara ST for ease with such a large quilt.
   
   
   
   
6. Trim the edges straight and attach the quilt binding around the perimeter to your preference. The designer sewed the bias to the front by machine and then finished the back by hand.
