Riley Blake Rose & Violet's Panel Quilt – Free Downloadable PDF Pattern Summary

About This Quilt Pattern

The Riley Blake Rose & Violet's Panel Quilt is a 64" x 64" finished square quilt designed to showcase the Rose & Violet's Garden Panel (P10417) as its stunning centerpiece. This is a free downloadable PDF pattern from Riley Blake Designs, rated as advanced difficulty, making it best suited for quilters who already have a solid foundation in quilting techniques and terminology. The design combines panel-focused construction with precise pieced blocks to frame and complement the printed panel fabric beautifully.

What Is Being Made

This pattern produces a single lap or throw-sized quilt measuring 64 inches by 64 inches. The design is built around the Rose & Violet's Garden Panel, surrounded by carefully pieced blocks and borders constructed from coordinating Riley Blake Designs Songbird and Garden Party fabric collections. The result is a cohesive, heirloom-quality quilt that highlights the illustrated panel while integrating complementary prints throughout the surrounding patchwork.

Fabrics and Materials Required

This pattern is designed specifically for use with Riley Blake Designs fabrics. The required materials include:

• 1 Rose & Violet's Garden Panel (P10417) – the focal panel fabric
• 1 Yard C10410 Songbird Main
• 1/2 Yard C10411 Songbird Garden Party
• 1/2 Yard C10411 Blush Garden Party
• 1/6 Yard C10413 Songbird Swee (partial fabric name as listed in the pattern)
• Cream Dots fabric – used for multiple cut pieces throughout the quilt top
• Standard quilting supplies including a rotary cutter, cutting mat, quilting ruler, sewing machine, and thread
• Binding fabric: 7 strips cut at 2¼" x WOF (Width of Fabric) are required for finishing the quilt edges

As with all quilting projects, you will also need batting and backing fabric sized appropriately for a 64" x 64" finished quilt. Riley Blake Designs recommends checking their website at rileyblakedesigns.com/pattern-updates for any revisions before beginning this project.

Cutting Instructions and Key Pieces

The pattern involves precise rotary cutting of multiple fabric pieces from WOF strips. Key cut pieces referenced in the pattern include:

• Piece D: 20 squares cut at 3" x 3", sub-cut from two 3" x WOF strips
• Piece B: 8 squares cut at 5¼" x 5¼", sub-cut from one 5¼" x WOF strip
• Piece E: 5 squares cut at 10" x 10", sub-cut from two 10" x WOF strips
• Additional pieces sub-cut from a 5⅝" x WOF strip as specified in the full pattern

Accurate cutting is essential in this pattern, as the various block sizes must align precisely when assembling the quilt top around the central panel.

Techniques Used

Because this pattern is classified as advanced difficulty, it assumes the quilter is already comfortable with core quilting skills. Techniques involved include:

• Strip cutting and sub-cutting – cutting WOF strips and then sub-cutting them into precise squares and rectangles using a rotary cutter and ruler
• Accurate seam allowances – all measurements in this pattern include a ¼" seam allowance, which must be maintained consistently throughout construction
• Right-sides-together sewing – the standard quilting construction method used throughout, as explicitly noted in the pattern instructions
• Block assembly and quilt top construction – piecing multiple
