PATTERN SHOWCASE: GARDEN GATE

posted on : June 10, 2026

Welcome back to another pattern showcase!

This is one of those patterns that we seem to come back to again and agin. Originally created for the Chantilly collection a while back, we have revisited this fabulous pattern several times with different groups.

It is a such a perfect occasion to showcase a collection with lots of favorite larger scale prints that you just can’t bear to cut up! Or really any favorite group where you really want to feature the fabrics themselves in those large center squares.

Choose a favorite solid as an accent background and you are good to go! Remember that this accent background can really change the feel of the entire quilt.

A great opportunity to work with your treasured LAYER CAKE or as you will see on the last page, in a smaller version, with a pair of your favorite CHARM PACKS!

Originally made in my CHANTILLY fabric collection, this pattern has now been updated with the latest LARKSPUR & LINEN fabric collection – showing to stores now and available for purchase in JANUARY 2027!

Patterns available in PAPER or DOWNLOADABLE PDF.
