There is something so cheerful about a quilt that lets a beautiful floral print be the star, and Framed Flowers does exactly that. The design sets pretty floral squares inside soft, coordinating frames of pieced triangles, and tucks calm background squares between them, so the whole top reads like a gentle gallery wall of your favourite blooms.
The finished quilt measures 50.5" x 68", a generous lap or throw size, and it leans on a mix of pretty floral prints with a quiet background to let those flowers really shine. It is the kind of pattern that absolutely sings when you give it a small bundle of coordinating prints and let yourself play.
- A pattern built around your favourite prints. Each block centres a different floral square, so it is a wonderful way to showcase a small collection of prints you have been hoarding or a focus fabric you have not known how to use.
- Soft, modern frames. The pieced triangle frames are simple enough to come together quickly, and they give every floral square a tidy, finished look without overcomplicating the design.
- A lovely beginner-friendly make. The construction uses straightforward squares and half square triangles, which makes it a sweet step up if you are confident with the basics and ready to play with print combinations.

Tip: before you print the pattern, set your printer to "no scaling" or "actual size" so the measurements come out true. Pressing each seam as you go also makes a real difference, especially when those triangle frames are coming together around each floral square.
