Play with Fabric and Buttons for a Cheerful Little Quilt

Quilting Digest | August 9, 2020 | Summer Quilts

It’s a Touch of Sunshine Sure to Brighten Gray Days!

This darling little quilt is perfect for summer and any time you crave a cheerful pick-me-up. Display it on a wall and enjoy how it makes everyone smile.

It also will be great for fall, made up in autumn colors. A golden sunflower on black with orange accents will be stunning.

The quilt was designed by Pat Sloan for Fat Quarter Shop’s Button Lovers’ Club (no longer available). The button pack she used is no longer available but it will be fun searching out your own combination of button accents.

Choose a combination of fabrics you love and consider doing a bit of fussy cutting. We love the butterfly in the center of the Monkey Wrench block. Easy piecing and fusible applique make it a quick project.

The finished quilt is 8.5” x 16.5” and can be hung just about anywhere.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article).
