Kimberley from Fat Quarter Shop in collaboration with Art Gallery Fabrics designed the Birchen quilt as part of the AGF stitched project. The finished size of the quilt is 72 ½” x 72 ½” . You can change the size by adding borders or more blocks.

If you don’t want to make the whole quilt, try a pillow. A four square table topper would also look fabulous!

Although this quilt looks tricky, there is a video tutorial that demonstrates a simplified method so that anyone make this quilt!
