Colorways Available: Fire with Orchid, Teal with Opal, Ivory with Wild Rose
Construction Overview
Center Panel: The quilt begins with the large Dream Big floral panel, trimmed to 42 ½” square.
Snowball Borders: Using smaller squares, you’ll snowball the edges of panel-cut pieces to create a delicate border that mimics petals flowing outward.
Middle Border: Carefully cut and labeled squares from the coordinating border panel are arranged using a grid system, ensuring proper orientation and flow.
Outer Borders: Simple pieced strips frame the quilt, finishing it to the 64” x 64” size.
Finishing: Layer with batting and backing, quilt as desired, and bind with your coordinating fabric.
This method keeps the focus on the floral artwork while teaching valuable techniques such as snowball corners and border assembly.
