Orchard Quilt patroon van Allison Harris

I’m a fairly new quilter and was nervous about tackling a bigger project, but the five sizes in this pattern gave me the confidence to start small and grow. The fat quarter friendly instructions were clear, and it really did come together quickly with those nesting seams.

I was pleasantly surprised how quickly this came together using layer cakes I had on hand. The instructions for the five different sizes made it easy to pick exactly what I needed for my space.

The nesting seams in this pattern make piecing the blocks incredibly satisfying—everything lined up perfectly without any puckering. I used a Jelly Roll and finished a throw size in just one weekend. My only tiny wish is that the illustrations were slightly larger for the binding step.
