Make A Wish Quilt by Wendy Sheppard

Project Overview

The Make A Wish Quilt is an intermediate-level quilting project designed by Wendy Sheppard and published by Michael Miller Fabrics as a free downloadable PDF pattern. This quilt measures 50 inches wide by 70 inches high, making it an ideal size for throws, lap quilts, or bed toppers. The finished quilt showcases a thoughtfully curated collection of Michael Miller Fabrics prints and solids, combining coordinating colorways and design themes into a cohesive patchwork composition.

Quilting Techniques and Construction

As an intermediate-level project, the Make A Wish Quilt employs fundamental quilting techniques suitable for quilters with basic patchwork experience. The pattern utilizes a combination of pieced fabric blocks and panels to create the quilt top design. The construction method involves cutting and arranging multiple fabric pieces in a coordinated layout, then sewing them together using standard quilting seams. The pattern includes binding fabric as part of the material requirements, indicating that the finished quilt will feature a professionally bound edge to complete the project.

Fabrics and Materials Used

The Make A Wish Quilt pattern calls for a carefully selected palette of ten different Michael Miller Fabrics prints and solids:

• Fabric A: SC5333-Bright White Cotton Couture Marble (1-1/2 yards) – provides a clean, neutral base
• Fabric B: CX1087-Magenta Marble (1/2 yard) – adds vibrant color contrast
• Fabric C: CX1087-Stone Marble (1 yard, includes binding fabric) – a muted neutral tone
• Fabric D: CX8960-Pink Floral Medallion (1/4 yard) – introduces floral design elements
• Fabric E: CX8961-Black Make A Wish (1/4 yard) – features the coordinating print collection
• Fabric F: CX8961-Cream Make A Wish (3/8 yard) – lighter value of the coordinating print
• Fabric G: CX8961-Pink Make A Wish (1/8 yard) – adds pink tones to the design
• Fabric H: CX8962-Black Whisper (1/4 yard) – introduces secondary print pattern
• Fabric I: CX8962-Pink Whisper (1/4 yard) – coordinates with the Whisper collection
• Fabric J: DCX8953-Black Mon Ami Panel (1 repeat, approximately 2/3 yard) – features a panel print for visual interest

The total fabric requirements span approximately 5-1/2 yards of material, combining solid marbles, coordinating prints, and a decorative panel. All fabrics are from the Michael Miller Fabrics collections, ensuring color harmony and design cohesion throughout the completed quilt.
