To make the Frame Quilt you will need the following:
- 1 yard of three patterns of fabric
- 1/2 yard of two patterns of fabric
- 1 yard of matching solid fabric or a Layer Cake (15 pieces)
- Backing Fabric – 4 yards (more if you make a larger quilt)
- Binding Fabric – 1/2 yard
- Matching Thread
- I will have my quilt finished by my longarm quilter and she provides the batting.
- Basic Sewing supplies (scissors, sewing machine, etc)
The Fabric I’m using is: Habitat by Michele D’Amore for Benartex
It’s a fabric that I’ve had a long time! The solid blue fabric didn’t have a name on the salvage and I’ve also had it for several years.

Hi Angie,
This is a very pretty quilt. Great tip using two large rulers together. Looks like it made cutting easier.
Enjoy your weekend.
