🧵 The Happiness Quilt – PDF Pattern
Designed by Monica Poole for Australian Homespun Magazine’s 2014 Block of the Month, now available as a complete digital download for the first time.
 
The Happiness Quilt is a vibrant fusion of joyful colour, intuitive technique, and meaningful design. Featuring five simple fusible appliqué blocks, four stunning foundation paper pieced blocks, and a lush floral border, this quilt is both visually striking and deeply sentimental.
 
Originally inspired by Monica’s childhood memories of climbing fig trees in her family garden, each block is a celebration of fruit trees, nature, and the kind of creativity that connects us to something timeless. The quilt can be made using Quilt As You Go construction, or assembled as a traditional quilt top — both options are outlined in the pattern.
 
Whether you’re a seasoned maker or just discovering the magic of FPP and QAYG, Happiness is a project that brings beauty to the process and peace to the maker.

Full-size templates for 9 large 18" finished blocks. (FPP blocks are 14" finished).
