About the pattern

FABRIC REQUIREMENTS

For the blocks:

  • Background, 1 1/2 yards
  • Foreground, 2/3 yard total scraps, or about 9 jelly roll strips. (For the letters in the pictured baby quilt I used 8 fat eighths, with fabric to spare.)

For the baby quilt, all of the above, plus:

  • Background, 1 1/4 yards
  • Backing, 3 yards
  • Binding, 3/8 of a yard

About me

Hi, I'm Stephanie

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I'm a quilter and pattern designer based in Ontario, Canada. If you have any questions at all about the pattern please check out the FAQs, below, or send me a message via my Etsy shop.


FAQs

Q:   What kind of pattern is this?

A:   Foundation paper piecing.

Q:   Do you have any non-paper pieced alphabet patterns?

Q:   How big is the baby quilt?

A:   47” x 46”

Q:   How big is each block?

A:   Each letter is 4" x 9.5" (with the exception of some of the wider letters).

Thanks everyone for weighing on the little QAL pol Thanks everyone for weighing on the little QAL poll I did a couple of weeks ago. The good news is, there was a lot of interest in an alphabet-themed quilt along! Here on Instagram, Blackletter had a slight edge. Over on the newsletter, results leaned pretty strongly towards the Ribbon Letters pattern. So the plan now is to do one for each pattern, most likely over the fall/winter seasons ... I want to do this right! In the meantime, I'm doing a little giveaway. Both Ribbon Letters and Blackletter work really well in a mix of gradient solids, so the winner will receive the Kona cotton fat quarter bundle pictured above, as well as digital copies of both patterns. To enter: 1) Follow me, @patchanddot 2) Tag at least one friend in the comments 3) Be a resident of the USA or Canada (excluding Quebec - sorry friends!) That's it! The winner will be drawn randomly from among the comments (so yes, tagging multiple friends separately will = more entries) on Sunday May 8 some time between 8 pm eastern and midnight, and announced here once eligibility is confirmed. This giveaway is sponsored wholly by Patch and Dot. Not affiliated with Instagram in any way. #ribbonlettersquilt #blackletterquilt #konacotton #fatquarterbundle #konasolids #fabricaddict #modernquiltpattern #alphabetquilt #modernquilting

When you finish a project and your reward to yours When you finish a project and your reward to yourself is ... a test block for another quilt! (#PandoraQuilt by @kaitthemaker) So this is yarn-dyed Essex plus Nani Iro double gauze. It seemed to work great, but I’m curious, if anyone reading has made an entire quilt with this combo? Are there any pitfalls I’m going to hit that I’m not thinking of? #quiltblock #modernquilt #modernninepatch
