Welcome back to our Classic & Vintage Quilt Series! Today, we're excited to introduce the Peace and Plenty Quilt, a timeless pattern that's perfect for confident beginners. This Fat Quarter-friendly design might look tricky with all those points, but don't let that put you on edge. We've got a free video tutorial to show you just how peacefully these plentiful points come together. ### What Makes the Peace and Plenty Quilt Special? This quilt pattern is available in lap and queen sizes, so you can choose the perfect fit for your home or as a gift. It's designed for confident beginners, especially with a little help from specialty tools like the 2-inch Half Square Triangle Paper and the 2-inch by 4-inch Flying Geese Quilt Block Foundation Paper. A lap quilt uses 18 Fat Quarters, making it an ideal project for showcasing your favorite bundles. If you've fallen in love with the festive fabrics we used, you can grab the Peace and Plenty Quilt Kit and matching Backing Set. ### The Fabric Collection Behind the Design We used the Joyful Gatherings Collection by Primitive Gatherings for Moda Fabrics in our version. The holiday hues and festive foliage prints add a cheerful touch to this classic block. Each block measures 8.5 inches by 8.5 inches unfinished, with just two fabrics per block—one light and one dark. This simplicity makes it a great way to highlight your favorite fabric collections while learning a new skill. ### Tips for Sewing Peaceful Blocks With Kimberly as your guide in our step-by-step video tutorial, you'll have plenty of peaceful blocks finished before you know it. Here are a few tips to keep your sewing smooth: - Use a consistent seam allowance to ensure all points align perfectly. - Press seams open to reduce bulk and make matching easier. - Take your time with each block—rushing can lead to mistakes. ### Share Your Work with Us We hope you enjoy sewing with this free Peace and Plenty Block Pattern!
