Fancy Forest Quilt Pattern in 2 Sizes by Elizabeth Hartman

Fancy Forest is a delightful sampler quilt featuring some of my most popular block designs, including Fancy Fox, Hazel Hedgehog, Bunny, Allie Owl (in a new smaller size), Thistle, and newcomer Frances Firefly.

The 67" x 91" Large Quilt is perfect for a Twin bed or to use as a sofa/large lap quilt. The 35" x 47" Small Quilt makes a perfect baby quilt or wall hanging.

All blocks are sewn with simple straight and diagonal seams. No templates or paper piecing!

When selecting colorful fat quarters for the Fancy Forest quilt, choose colorful fabrics in sets of 5 monochromatic fat quarters each.

The quilt will be most successful if the fabrics in each set include a value scale from lightest (Fabric 1) to darkest (Fabric 5).

A complete list of the colorful fabrics I used is included in the pattern.

My background fabric is Robert Kaufman’s Essex yarn-dyed linen blend in Olive.

My white and dark block detail fabrics are Kona Snow and Espresso.
