Ring Around the Rosies Quilt

Hello from Jo and Kelli at Jo’s Country Junction. We’re here with you today to show you our latest creation made with Moda’s Rambling Rose. The second we saw the beautiful line with pretty floral prints we knew we wanted to make something with it. Our Ring Around the Rosies was so fun to make. We made a bonus quilt with the leftovers. Make sure to read through the entire pattern to find the bonus baby quilt we made.

Sewing Instructions:

1. To make one block, you will need a set of 5 matching 2 ½” x 6 ½” rectangles and a matching 2 ½” square. You will also need 4- 2 ½” neutral squares. To begin, draw a line on the back of each of the neutral squares, connecting opposite corners. With right sides together, place a square on one end of a colored rectangle. Sew on the drawn line, trim the seam allowance to approximately ¼”, and press to the neutral background.

Make 1

Make 3

1. Using the remaining 2 ½” x 6 ½” rectangle and 2 ½” square, assemble the block. Make 72 blocks by sewing a 2 1/2″ square onto one of the matching three units.

Sew one of the matching three units, the single unit and the fabric strip together as shown.

Sew the remaining unit to the side as shown.

Sew the piece that you created in the first step onto the newly created unit. It’s easy to twist the pieces so take care in the placement and position of the triangle.

Make 72 blocks.

1. Lay out the quilt, taking care to disperse the colors throughout the quilt. Assemble first into diagonal rows. Add the appropriate setting triangle to each end of the rows. Sew the rows together to complete the center of the quilt.

Join the 9- 2 ½” x WOF strips. Measure your quilt vertically through the middle. Cut two segments to this measurement. Attach to the sides of your quilt. Press to the border. Measure your quilt horizontally through the middle. Cut two segments to this measurement. Attach to the top and bottom of the quilt. Press to the border.

After we were finished making this quilt we had a few leftovers. We took those leftovers and made this cute little baby quilt. If you’d like the free printable pattern for that, follow this link. How cute would it be to make the big quilt for a wedding present and make a baby quilt for the couple using these same fabrics.

We ended the project with one big quilt, a baby quilt and absolutely no leftovers!
