The Easter Lily quilt block pattern is a beautiful and classic design that can add a touch of elegance to any quilt project. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the step-by-step process of creating this stunning block.
Materials you'll need:
- Fabric in two colors (for the Lily and background)
- Rotary cutter
- Cutting mat
- Quilting ruler
- Sewing machine
- Thread
- Iron
- Ironing board
- Seam ripper (optional)
Step 1: Choose your fabrics For the Easter Lily quilt block, you will need two contrasting fabrics. You can choose any color combination you like, but traditionally, the Lily is white or cream, while the background is a darker color. For this tutorial, I will use white fabric for the Lily and navy blue for the background.
Step 2: Cut your fabric To create the Easter Lily quilt block, you will need to cut out four pieces of fabric in total: two pieces for the Lily and two pieces for the background. Cut them into the following sizes:
- Lily fabric: two squares measuring 4.5 inches x 4.5 inches
- Background fabric: two rectangles measuring 2.5 inches x 4.5 inches
Step 3: Sew the Lily pieces together Take the two Lily fabric squares and place them right sides together. Sew around the edges using a 1/4 inch seam allowance, leaving a small opening on one side to turn the fabric right side out. Trim the corners and turn the fabric right side out. Press the fabric with an iron, making sure the seam is in the center of the piece.
Step 4: Sew the background pieces to the Lily Take one of the Lily pieces and one of the background rectangles. Place the background rectangle right side down on top of the Lily, aligning the long sides. Sew along the edge using a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Repeat with the other Lily piece and background rectangle.
Step 5: Sew the Lily pieces together Place the two Lily pieces right sides together, aligning the long sides. Sew along the edge using a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Press the seam open with an iron.
Step 6: Trim and square up the block Trim the block to 6.5 inches x 6.5 inches using a rotary cutter, cutting mat, and quilting ruler. Make sure the Lily is centered within the block and the edges are straight and even.
Congratulations! You have now completed your Easter Lily quilt block. Repeat these steps to create as many blocks as you need for your project. You can use this block in a variety of ways, including as the focal point of a quilt, as a border, or in a sampler quilt. Experiment with different colors and fabrics to create a truly unique design.
