Free Pattern: Seaside Breeze

Get ready for summer with this fun quilt that’s brilliant for showcasing colorful prints and quilting designs.

Planning and piecing the quilt

Make the Flying Geese for this quilt using a no-waste technique, which yields 4 matching “Geese” from each print 9¼” square. You’ll use 3 matching Geese for each block, and have 30 leftover Geese that can be used in a pieced quilt backing.

Use an accurate ¼” seam allowance throughout to ensure all elements of the quilt fit together well.

Handle all bias edges carefully to avoid distortion.
