Choosing Fabrics for Your Friendship Wreath Quilt
This is where the fun begins!
Friendship Wreath is a wonderful pattern for using a collection of favorite fabrics. Instead of choosing just one fabric for each section of the quilt, try combining several coordinating prints to create a scrappy look.
You can use fabrics from your stash, pull together a collection of fat quarters, or choose a favorite fabric collection from your local quilt shop.
For a traditional look, try soft florals, reproduction prints, and classic quilting fabrics. For something more modern, experiment with brighter colors and contemporary prints.
You can even create a completely different mood by changing your color palette.
Think about making Friendship Wreath in:
Soft pinks and creams
Reds and greens
Autumn colors
Blues and whites
Reproduction fabrics
Bright, cheerful colors
Low-volume neutrals
There really are endless possibilities!
A Scrappy Quilt Full of Meaning
The name Friendship Wreath was inspired by the idea of bringing people together.
A wreath is a circle with no beginning or end, making it a fitting symbol for friendship, connection, and lasting relationships. That’s part of what makes this design such a meaningful quilt to give as a gift.
Imagine making one with fabrics that remind you of a special friend. You might choose colors from a favorite quilt shop trip you shared. Fabrics left over from quilts you’ve made together. Or prints that remind you of a particular place or memory.
Those little details are what make handmade quilts so special.
Tips for Making a Beautiful Scrappy Quilt
When you’re working with a scrappy quilt pattern, you don’t need every fabric to match perfectly.
Instead, look for fabrics that share a common color family or work well together in value. Mixing small-scale prints with larger prints, florals with dots, and solids with patterned fabrics can give your quilt plenty of visual interest.
Before sewing, lay out your fabrics and blocks so you can see how the colors and values work together.
And don’t be afraid to use fabrics you might normally overlook. Sometimes the unexpected print is the one that makes a scrappy quilt come alive!
What to Expect When Making the Friendship Wreath Quilt
Friendship Wreath is a great project for quilters who are comfortable with basic piecing and want to create a quilt with a little more visual interest.
The pattern guides you through cutting your fabrics, making the individual quilt units, assembling the wreath design, and putting the quilt top together.
You’ll also have an opportunity to practice accurate rotary cutting, sewing consistent ¼” seams, matching seams, pressing your blocks, and finishing your quilt with quilting and binding.
As with all LAKEGIRLQUILTS patterns, my goal is to make the instructions clear and approachable so you can enjoy the process from the first cut to the final stitch.
