Thank you all so much to everyone who has supported the release of the Sidewalk Quilt. Designing a hopscotch quilt has been in my mind for almost two years and I am so happy to finally have this pattern out in the world!
In fact, I love this pattern so much, that I made three different versions already (with plans for more!). And despite the cover version using yardage, I think my favorite way to make this quilt is with scraps. Below I am sharing photos and all the details for the two scrappy versions that I made, a rainbow version and another using the Lullabee fabric line.
Rainbow Version
This was the first Sidewalk Quilt that I made. I pieced it as I was writing the pattern and designing the numbers, so there was a lot of trial and error in it. As soon as I finished, I realized it was upside down! Fortunately, I have a four year old who thought that made the quilt even better and so I was happy not to rip out any more seams!
(Note: Don’t worry, I made the corrections in the pattern so that yours will be right side up!)
