Would you rather not piece a new quilt top?

Save time piecing and quilt the designs from this workshop using a printed fabric panel instead! This printed fabric panel is available from Spoonflower.com. Simply purchase 1 yard of cotton fabric (Kona cotton or cotton poplin is preferred), baste it using your preferred method, and stitch along the lines between the blocks and square.

This panel differs slightly from the pieced Squares and Sashing Quilt (no sashing between blocks) in order for it to fit within 1 yard of fabric. In order to have space for all 33 designs, simply add a 4 - 6 inch border to the edges of the quilt and fill it with the sashing design Swirling Water.

This fabric panel is available in the following color schemes:

Squares & Sashing Purple Colorway

Squares & Sashing Rainbow Colorway

Squares and Sashing fabric panels are only available from Spoonflower.com. Click the links above to view and order from this print-on-demand fabric website.
