Riley Blake Eagle Trail Downloadable Quilt Pattern

Project Overview

Eagle Trail is a downloadable PDF quilting pattern from Riley Blake Designs that creates a finished quilt measuring 57 inches by 64 inches. This project is designed for quilters with basic knowledge of quilting techniques and terminology, making it suitable for intermediate crafters looking to complete a substantial bed-sized quilt.

What Is Being Made

The Eagle Trail pattern produces a decorative quilt with a finished size of 57" x 64", ideal for use as a bed quilt or wall hanging. The design incorporates Riley Blake fabric collections, specifically featuring coordinated prints and panels that come together through the quilting assembly process.

Quilting Techniques Used

This quilting project employs fundamental quilting construction methods including:

• Piecing fabric pieces together with right sides facing
• Accurate seam allowance work (¼" seam allowances throughout)
• Border assembly and attachment, requiring measurement through the center of the quilt before cutting border pieces
• End-to-end strip piecing when necessary to achieve required border lengths
• Sequential border attachment, with side borders sewn before top and bottom borders

• Blue main fabric (C6200 Blue) — ⅝ yard (60 centimeters)
• Green words fabric (C6203 Green) — as specified in complete pattern

Pattern Notes

Quilters should note that seam allowances may vary depending on individual sewing practices, making it essential to measure through the center of the quilt before cutting border pieces to ensure proper fit. The virtual quilt images shown in the pattern are representations, and the actual appearance of the finished quilt may differ when using physical Riley Blake fabrics due to color and print variations in actual materials compared to digital displays.
