Robert Kaufman Clover Field Quilt Pattern by Elise Lea – Free Downloadable PDF

The Robert Kaufman Clover Field pattern, designed by Elise Lea for Robert Kaufman Fabrics, is a free downloadable PDF quilt pattern that produces a stunning finished quilt measuring 57" x 76" — a generous lap or throw size perfect for everyday use or as a decorative accent. Titled Just Kisses, this design showcases a lush, nature-inspired green palette drawn from Robert Kaufman's fabric collection, making it an eye-catching project for quilters who love color-rich, garden-inspired textiles.

About the Design

The Just Kisses Clover Field quilt is a single cohesive throw quilt built around a carefully curated range of green-family fabrics. The design draws its name and visual character from the layered, organic feel of clover and botanical foliage, achieved through the strategic placement of multiple coordinating fabric colorways. The finished piece is sized to work beautifully as a bed throw, sofa blanket, or decorative quilt.

Skill Level and Suitability

This pattern is rated intermediate difficulty, making it an ideal next step for quilters who have mastered basic patchwork and are ready to work with a larger number of fabric selections and more complex color placement. Beginners with some experience in accurate cutting and piecing will also find this an achievable and rewarding challenge.

Fabrics and Materials Used

The pattern calls for 14 distinct Robert Kaufman fabric colorways, all cut from 42"-wide yardage. The palette spans a rich range of greens and neutrals, including:

• Fabric A – K001-1387 (White): 3-3/4 yards — the dominant background or primary fabric in the design
• Fabric B – K001-145 (Pear): 1/3 yard
• Fabric C – K001-1141 (Fern): 1/3 yard
• Fabric D – K001-135 (Clover): 1/3 yard
• Fabric E – K001-1188 (Kiwi): 1/3 yard
• Fabric F – K001-1836 (Botanical): 1/3 yard
• Fabric G – K001-221 (Parakeet): 1/3 yard
• Fabric H – K001-1388 (Willow): 1/2 yard
• Fabric I – K001-1834 (Balsam): 1/2 yard (also used for binding)
• Fabric J – K001-1145 (Forest): 1/2 yard
• Fabric K – K001-1185 (Kelly): 1/2 yard
• Fabric L – K001-453 (Pesto): 1/2 yard
• Fabric M – K001-1361 (Spruce): 1/2 yard
• Fabric N – K001-1161 (Holly): 1/4 yard

In addition to the quilt top fabrics, the following yardage is required to complete the project:

• Binding: 5/8 yard of K001-1834 (Balsam) — the same fabric as Fabric I, so yardage should be combined when purchasing
• Backing: 3-3/4 yards of backing fabric

The use of so many distinct but coordinating Robert Kaufman colorways gives the finished quilt its characteristic depth and botanical richness. Quilters are encouraged to purchase all fabrics from the same collection to ensure color harmony and consistent fabric weight across the quilt top.
