There is something so pretty about a quilt block that looks like a flower in full bloom, and the Lily block is one of those classics that never gets old. In this short tutorial from Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting, you can see exactly how a Lily block comes together, with a clear, friendly walk-through that makes it feel completely doable, even if you are new to floral piecing.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- A timeless block, beautifully explained. The Lily has been a favourite of quilters for generations, and seeing it pieced step by step makes the whole process feel approachable rather than fiddly.
- Lovely on its own or repeated. A single Lily block is a sweet mini quilt or cushion, while a whole quilt of them blooms into a real showstopper. The video gives you the foundation either way.
- A fresh excuse to play with colour. Whether you fancy a soft pastel Lily, a bold scrappy one or a calming monochrome, the same construction handles every palette gracefully.
Would you make a single Lily block as a little project, or go for a whole quilt full of them? Tell us in the comments which colours you would reach for first.
