Description
A cow, a pig, a woolly sheep, and a rooster balance one on top of another in a cheerful tower of farm animals, each one pieced from charming prints and set against a soft gray background scattered with sawtooth stars. Beside them, a deep scrappy field of diagonal string blocks runs the length of the quilt in every color, all framed by a blue and green plaid border. It finishes at 68.5" x 81.5", a generous throw full of barnyard personality.
What the Pattern Includes
This listing is for the printed paper pattern only. Fabric, batting, backing, and notions are not included.
The full-color booklet walks through the four animal blocks, the assortment of star blocks, and Lori's scrappy Paper Strings blocks that fill the side panel, with complete cutting and assembly instructions.
What You'll Need
The quilt is scrappy and fat-quarter-friendly, drawn from Lori Holt's Farmer's Daughter collection, so a fat-quarter bundle or a deep scrap stash both work well. Beyond the scrappy prints, plan for the background and backing.
- Background and border: about 3 yards
- Blocks: a wide scrappy mix of fat quarters plus ⅜, ½, ⅝, and ⅞ yard cuts
- Binding: about ⅞ yard
- Backing: about 2¼ yards of 108" wide fabric, or 5⅛ yards of 44" wide
The cover sample also uses vintage trim and two packs of little buttons as finishing touches. Full cutting amounts for every fabric are printed on the pattern.
Perfect For
- Quilters who love farmhouse and country style
- Animal lovers and anyone charmed by a stacked barnyard scene
- Sewists with a fat-quarter bundle or a deep scrap stash to use up
- Quilters ready to try Lori's novelty animal blocks and string piecing
- A handmade quilt for a child's room or a country home, or a heartfelt gift
Why You'll Love This Pattern
The fun here is in the mix. The animals are built as novelty pieced blocks, the stars are familiar patchwork, and the long scrappy panel is made from Lori's Paper Strings blocks, strips sewn on the diagonal so every one comes out a little different. Put together, they make a quilt with a lot of character that still relies on straightforward sewing.
A soft gray background sets off the animal tower and keeps all the scrappy color from feeling busy, while the plaid border ties the country look together. The scrappier your prints, the more the string panel sparkles, which makes this a great way to use a Farmer's Daughter fat-quarter bundle or a stash of favorites.
It's Sew Emma rates Farmyard Friends Intermediate, and it's a friendly place to try novelty blocks for the first time. The animal blocks look intricate but come together from simple shapes with clear diagrams, so the project rewards patience and accurate piecing more than advanced skills.
