The Hibiscus Quilt is a stunning pieced quilt pattern designed by Stacey Day and released as part of the Daydreamer by Tula Pink fabric collection from Free Spirit Fabrics. This free downloadable PDF pattern is an excellent choice for quilters at the Advanced Beginner skill level, offering a satisfying project that builds confidence with precise piecing while delivering a bold, colorful finished result. The pattern has been technically edited by Alison M. Schmidt to ensure accuracy throughout.

Finished Dimensions

The completed quilt measures 69" x 80½" (175.26cm x 204.47cm), making it a generous lap or throw size suitable for everyday use or display. Each individual finished block measures 10" x 10" (25.40cm x 25.40cm), and the repeated block structure gives the overall design a rhythmic, graphic quality that is characteristic of Tula Pink's vibrant aesthetic.

What Is Being Made

This pattern produces a pieced quilt with a hibiscus-inspired design. The block-based construction uses repeated 10-inch units that, when assembled together, create the impression of blooming hibiscus flowers across the quilt surface. The finished piece is ideal as a throw quilt, a bed accent, or a decorative wall hanging for those who want to showcase the vivid prints of the Daydreamer collection.

Techniques Used

• Piecing – The primary construction technique throughout this quilt is traditional piecing, where fabric shapes are sewn together with precise seam allowances to form the repeating block design.
• Block-based construction – The quilt is built from uniform 10" x 10" finished blocks, a classic quilting approach that makes assembly manageable and consistent for advanced beginners.
• Accurate cutting and pressing – As with all pieced quilts, careful cutting of fabric pieces and consistent pressing of seams are essential techniques for achieving crisp, well-aligned blocks.

Stitches and Sewing Methods

• Straight stitch – Standard straight-stitch sewing on a domestic sewing machine is used throughout to join pieced units and assemble blocks.
• Consistent seam allowances – Maintaining an accurate and even seam allowance is critical to ensuring that all blocks finish at the correct 10" size and align properly when the quilt top is assembled.

Materials – Fabric

This quilt is specifically designed to feature fabrics from the Daydreamer by Tula Pink collection, available through Free Spirit Fabrics. The pattern calls for several distinct prints from the collection, each identified by color and item ID. Fabrics referenced in the pattern include:

• Lucy Pineapple – PWTP096.PINEAPPLE, required as a fat quarter (approximately 45.72cm x 53.34cm)
• Lucy Lagoon – PWTP096.LAGOON, required as a fat quarter
• Lucy Dragon Fruit – PWTP096.DRAGONFRUIT, required as a fat quarter
• Pretty in Pink Mango – PWTP169.MANGO, required as a fat quarter
• Pretty in Pink Dragon Fruit – PWTP169.DRAGONFRUIT, required as a fat quarter

The use of fat quarters as the primary unit of fabric purchase makes this pattern particularly beginner-friendly and budget-conscious, as fat quarter bundles from the Daydreamer collection can be used to coordinate the palette effortlessly. The vivid tropical colorways — including pineapple, lagoon, and dragon fruit tones — reflect the lush, playful spirit that Tula Pink is celebrated for across the quilting community.

Tools and Notions

• A domestic sewing machine capable of a consistent straight stitch is the primary tool required.
