Today we want to dedicate this post to those readers thinking about their upcoming summer holidays in the sun, because we found a free sewing pattern that will delight any beach and ocean lover! As you will see in the images below, this gorgeous quilt design uses one of Robert Kaufman’s digitally printed fabrics from the ‘Picture This‘ series, featuring a full panel with a colorful marine tropical landscape.
Quilting beginners usually love panel fabrics, because they allow for simpler designs, so this is a great chance for those of you who have recently started to sew or quilt! In fact, this beautiful sewing project is recommended for beginners!
The fabric for backing your new quilt is a free choice, but we just added a few suggestions below to help you get inspired 😉 The finished project is a single-bed quilt measuring about 160cm x 112cm, with a wonderfully bright and cheerful look. The depth of colors and the detailed print will do the trick even under the most intense sunlight… There is a ton of vibrant color in the dynamic bottom section of the panel, which is teaming with underwater wildlife, and the peaceful view of a warm sunset framed by palm trees below a starry sky, featured on the panel’s upper half.
Are you willing to give this a try? If you do jump into panel quilting, you will get great results faster and with less toil, improve your quilting skills through practice, and gradually learn new tricks… all benefits! We strongly encourage you to take up this easy sewing project, and send us pictures of your finished quilt, as we would love to share those pictures with all our readers. Enjoy!
