Riley Blake 30's Fling Quilt Pattern by Erin Turner

Project Overview

Riley Blake 30's Fling is an intermediate-level quilting pattern designed by Erin Turner for PR Galleries. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a finished quilt measuring 54 inches by 62 inches, making it an ideal size for a lap quilt or throw blanket. The pattern features a finished block size of 8 inches by 8 inches and requires basic quilting knowledge and familiarity with standard quilting terminology.

Quilt Construction and Design

The quilt is constructed using a series of Hope Chest Blocks that are arranged and sewn together to create the overall design. The pattern requires creating 30 Hope Chest Blocks total. Each block is built by cutting and rearranging nine pieces from Four-Patch Units. The Four-Patch Units are cut 1½ inches above and below the vertical and horizontal center seams, yielding nine individual pieces per unit that are then recombined to form the distinctive Hope Chest Block design.

Quilting Techniques

This pattern employs fundamental quilting construction methods suitable for intermediate crafters. The basic technique involves cutting fabric pieces with precision, maintaining consistent ¼-inch seam allowances throughout, and sewing pieces with right sides together unless otherwise specified in the pattern instructions. The pattern assumes familiarity with standard quilting block assembly and the ability to follow detailed cutting diagrams and block layouts.

Fabric Requirements and Materials

The pattern utilizes Riley Blake fabrics from the Hope Chest collection, specifically requiring:

• Two Hope Chest 5-inch Stackers (product code 5-4250-30) for the primary patterned fabrics
• 1⅛ yards of blue blossom solid fabric (C4252 Blue)
• 1⅝ yards of clean white solid fabric (C100-01 Clean White)
• ⅝ yard of fabric for binding
• 3½ yards of fabric for quilt backing

Additional Pattern Notes

All measurements provided in the pattern include a standard ¼-inch seam allowance. The quilt and block diagrams shown in the pattern are virtual images, and the final appearance of the completed project may vary depending on the specific fabric prints and colors used. Crafters are advised to check the Penny Rose Fabrics website for any pattern revisions before beginning the project to ensure accuracy and compatibility with the specified materials.
