Ida Jean Quilt

I’m so excited to be sharing this pattern with you! Ida Jean is a block-based pattern that was inspired by and named after my Grandma Jean. She taught me how to quilt when I was pregnant with my son and helped me make my first quilt – his baby quilt. I quickly fell in love with the craft (as you can see) and I loved having this in common with her. Some of my favorite memories were visiting her and chatting about what we were making, going through her fabric stash and heading to quilt shops and quilt shows together. She was an avid quilter who loved 1930s reproduction fabrics and hand pieced/hand quilted everything. Grandma Jean passed away last January, and I truly miss having her around and showing her what quilting project I’ve been working on. I thought designing this pattern and naming it after her would be a sweet homage to her.

 

The pattern includes 3 sizes, baby, throw, and twin, plus and alternate layout! It uses strip piecing for construction which makes this pattern so fast to put together and would make a great weekend project or last minute gift. You can recolor your own on Quiltink along with my other patterns!

 

I hope you enjoy making this pattern as much as I have!
