Pattern Review: Victory Garden Quilt

The Pattern:


My finished quilt:


Being half-british myself, this pattern was love at first sight.  It uses a template at one point, which I'm usually not a fan of, but I was pleasantly surprised at the simplicity of putting these blocks together. I made the baby version, which is only six blocks and planned to hang it on my wall, but when my sister-in-law (who lived in London and Wales for a few years) announced she was having a baby girl, how could I resist?  I will admit, after binding it, it was really hard to give away. Thankfully it was easy enough to make, and I plan to whip up another for myself and maybe even a few pillows from some extra union jack blocks.  I would most definitely recommend this pattern.

    FMQing mine right now - I had to start out with the big version though! I too loved how quickly these blocks came together.

    Your quilt turned out so well - one lucky baby girl!
