Orange Blossom Quilt Block Pattern

The Orange Blossom pattern re-designs the classic Orange Peel pattern to remove all the tricky elements. It's the perfect shortcut!

PlumEasy Patterns released this new method of doing the orange peel block, which makes this gorgeous, summery quilt design easier than ever. With the Orange Blossom pattern and stencil, you can quickly sew an orange peel pattern without pinning or using appliques.

It's recommended to use the orange blossom stencil with this pattern, which you can use to draw the orange peel patterns onto freezer paper. This makes for simple tracing and can be a great time-saver.

Orange peel blocks are a classic curved pattern that is popular for quilts, table runners, bags, and more. Personally I think this type of pattern looks best in bright, vivid colors with high contrast. It's also an ideal pattern for showcasing the busier patterns from your fabric stash. I love the color palette shown in PlumEasy's samples.

This pattern makes it easy to have very accurate blocks of curved pieces. You get a high level of accurate shapes that lay flat and don't create pockets when you use the stencils that Bethany Miller designed. It makes it a smooth process to get into a rhythm with using the stencils, cutting the fabric, and following the pattern on your machine.

The finished product is an eye-catching quilt with a modern look but timeless charm. This is a great pattern for a bright, summery quilt that you can curl up under on cool summer nights. If you're making a quilt for your gazebo or boat, it would be a wonderful accent piece. Plus, the orange blossom quilt would be a heartfelt wedding present.
