Tula Pink Hanging Out with the Homies Quilt – Free Downloadable PDF Pattern

Designed by Stacey Day and featuring the festive Holiday Homies by Tula Pink fabric collection from Free Spirit Fabrics, Hanging Out with the Homies is a cheerful holiday quilt that showcases bold, character-driven prints arranged in the shape of hanging ornaments. This free downloadable PDF pattern is a wonderful seasonal project for quilters who enjoy working with statement fabrics and precise piecing techniques.

What Is Being Made

The finished project is a 42" x 42" (106.68 cm x 106.68 cm) square quilt, making it an ideal wall hanging, lap quilt, or decorative holiday accent piece. The design is built from 7" x 7" finished blocks that come together to create the visual effect of ornaments "just hanging around" for the holidays. The playful aesthetic is driven by the Holiday Homies by Tula Pink collection, which provides the personality and color palette central to the design.

Techniques Used

• Piecing – The primary construction technique throughout this pattern is traditional quilting piecing, where fabric pieces are cut to precise measurements and sewn together with consistent seam allowances to form blocks and the overall quilt top.
• Block construction – Each 7" finished block is individually assembled before being joined into the larger quilt layout, a method that keeps the project manageable and organized.
• Color and fabric placement – Thoughtful arrangement of prints and solids is key to achieving the ornament shapes, requiring careful attention to the placement of each fabric within the block grid.

This pattern is rated Intermediate in skill level, meaning quilters should have a comfortable working knowledge of accurate cutting, consistent quarter-inch seam allowances, and pressing techniques before beginning. The crafting time is classified as longer term, reflecting the number of blocks and the precision required to achieve clean, graphic results.

Backing fabric, batting, and binding materials will also be required to complete the finished quilt, though specific yardage for those components was not fully detailed in the available pattern content.
