Riley Blake Little Giraffe Downloadable PDF Quilt Pattern

What is Being Made

The Riley Blake Little Giraffe is a downloadable PDF quilting pattern that produces a finished quilt measuring 48" x 56". This project creates a complete quilt composed of multiple pieced blocks arranged in a specific layout to form the Little Giraffe design.

Quilt Block Construction

The pattern features the Little Giraffe Block, which finishes at 8" x 8" in size. The quilt is constructed using 21 blocks of this design, with each block being a different combination of assorted print fabrics to create visual variety and depth in the final quilt.

Quilting Techniques Used

This project requires a basic knowledge of quilting technique and terminology. The construction method involves fundamental piecing techniques where fabric pieces are sewn together with right sides facing to create progressively larger units that ultimately form the completed block.

Piecing Method and Stitches

The Little Giraffe Block is constructed through a series of sequential piecing steps:

• Sew an assorted print 2¼" x 5" rectangle to the left side of an assorted print 5" square to create Unit A
• Sew an assorted print 2¼" x 6¾" rectangle to the bottom of Unit A to create Unit B
• Sew an assorted print 2¼" x 6¾" rectangle to the right side of Unit B to create Unit C
• Sew an assorted print 2¼" x 8½" rectangle to the top of Unit C to complete the Little Giraffe Block

All measurements include a ¼" seam allowance to ensure accurate piecing and proper block sizing.

Materials

This quilting pattern utilizes assorted print fabrics in various combinations throughout the 21 blocks. The specific fabric requirements and quantities are detailed within the downloadable PDF pattern from Riley Blake Designs. Standard quilting supplies including rotary cutters, quilting rulers, and a cutting mat are recommended for accurate fabric cutting and piece preparation.
