About the Berry Wreath Quilt

Berry Wreath quilt

The Berry Wreath Quilt features simple but elegant motifs of berries and leaves, forming beautiful pieced wreaths. While it may not be the quickest quilt to sew, it’s all about organization and methodical progress. With a little patience and precision, you’ll have a stunning quilt to showcase. 

There is no appliqué! Only basic piecing techniques are used. All of the wreath blocks are the same, so it’s easy to repeat the construction of each block.

Let’s break the process down step-by-step. 

Materials and preparation

To start, organize and cut all your fabric pieces according to the pattern instructions (search “berry”). Having your pieces sorted and ready will make assembly much smoother.

You can purchase a kit from Vintage Pink & Green quilt shop.

Making the Berries

Blue Berries

  1. Gather the small blue squares and smallest background squares.

  2. Sew the background squares diagonally onto each corner of the blue squares.

  3. Press the corners outward to form the berry shape. (Optional: Trim the excess fabric.)
