Woodland children’s quilt pattern

If the thought of sewing a gorgeous heirloom quilt has always appealed, this mini version for kids is a fun starting point. And, they’ll love the fact it doubles up as an instant woodland den.

The smaller size makes for an easy way to get to grips with techniques such as joining hexies and adding binding, plus you’ll finally have an excuse to use those fat quarters you’ve got squirrelled away.

This project was created by Laura Pritchard for Mollie Makes magazine. For more easy-make craft projects and creative inspiration, subscribe to Mollie or click here to find out more.
