The Sunrise Quilt with Albion by Amy Smart -

Hi friends! I’m Melanie Call from A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog and Instagram. I loved sewing with the new Albion Fabric Collection designed by Amy Smart. The floral prints and colors are fabulous! I knew this collection would need a quilt pattern with large blocks so the fabric would shine. My Sunrise Quilt Pattern is the perfect match!

Sunrise Quilt Pattern

The Sunris e Quilt is a block based quilt so it’s easy to make the quilt larger or smaller by making more or less blocks. I chose to enlarge the quilt by adding a border as I love the Albion Blue Flowers print.

Half-Square Triangle Tip: For perfectly sized half-square triangles – I recommend trimming your blocks with a Bloc-loc half-square triangle ruler OR using the appropriately sized AccuQuilt Die. Having perfectly sized blocks makes piecing your quilt so much easier!
