Liberty Quilt — A Free Project

I’m a bit in love with Liberty of Lon­don and was lucky enough to vis­it the store a couple of years ago.   I came home with quite a bit of loot, although.… none of it was fab­ric.  I know, shock­ing isn’t it!  I think that prob­ably set me on a mis­sion though because a Liberty quilt has been on my list for a long time and, now that I’ve made one two, I thought it’d be fun to share it with you all as a free project.

A PDF file with everything you need to know to make this free quilt pro­ject using Liberty fab­rics can be down­loaded by click­ing here.

All of the beau­ti­ful Liberty Tana Lawn fab­rics for this pro­ject came from Ava & Neve.  If you haven’t vis­ited their online shop you really need to head over there pronto.   You won’t be sorry you did!   I just received this months Liberty Soci­ety bundle from Ava & Neve and I’ve got to admit that I’m pretty temp­ted to make just one more of these quilts with this months fab­rics.  You can join Ava & Neve’s Liberty Soci­ety and receive a par­cel of beau­ti­ful fab­rics like this every month by sign­ing up on their web­site.

To make your own lap sized quilt using the free pro­ject sheet you’ll need just 8 Fat Eighths of Liberty and, a yard each of two sol­id fab­rics.   I wanted to do some­thing that was, hope­fully, a bit dif­fer­ent and thought that this Square In A Square design was a great way to show­case the Liberty fabrics.

And since you only need to sew one type of quilt block it’s per­fect for chain piecing which means that it comes togeth­er very quickly.

I quilted these two on my domest­ic machine with very simple straight line quilt­ing.   Diag­on­al on the pink ver­sion and straight up and across on the blue one.

These two quilts have been bundled up and sent off to two very spe­cial women in my life, my moth­er-in-law and my Granny.  Both needed a bit of extra love and its nice to know that they both have a Liberty quilt to wrap around them when we can­’t be there to hug them in person.

I sure hope you enjoy mak­ing this free pro­ject.   If you do don’t for­get to tag me @shequiltsalot and the beau­ti­ful ladies at @ava_and_neve on social media.   We’d love to see your quilts!

Happy quilt­ing,

  1. These are so beau­ti­ful Peta! Simple quilts are def­in­itely the best way to fea­ture the awe­some­ness of liberty fab­ric. Just divine!

  2. Okay these are fab­ulous. I bought the 12 months of Liberty stash from West­wood Acres as my first for­ay into Liberty. I only just opened it the oth­er day to make your Pretty Zippy pouch and now this!? I have been want­ing to make my girls a Liberty treas­ure, but did­n’t know how to make the prints shine and not all drown each oth­er, iyk­wim. So this! This, with the solids, is per­fect. Thankyou!
