Quilt Pattern Guide & Instructions Pattern: PTNB0601 Confetti Quilt (Featuring Ink & Petal Batiks) About the Pattern The PTNB0601 Confetti Quilt Pattern is a stunning, maker-friendly project designed by Kris Driessen of Phoebe Moon Designs to perfectly highlight the organic beauty of the Ink & Petal fabric line. Instead of dealing with tiny, fussy crumbs or complicated paper templates, this pattern uses large, simple geometric blocks that frame the rich, hand-dyed depth of premium batiks. By layering these soft, watercolor-style floral prints against contrasting tones, the finished quilt captures the look of drifting flower petals and artistic ink splashes floating across the surface. It is a wonderful, relaxing project that goes together surprisingly fast, giving you a large, gorgeous statement piece that shows off every detail of your favorite fabric line! Quilt Sizes & Fabric Requirements Pattern Name: PTNB0601 Confetti (Phoebe Moon Designs) Finished Quilt Size: 76" x 84" (A generous, beautiful Twin-sized bed throw) Quilt Skill Level: Confident Beginner (Relaxing piecing with no complex angles) Primary Collection: Ink & Petal by Banyan Batiks Studio for Northcott Fabrics Standard Retail Range: $10.80 to $13.50 USD for the standalone pattern print Step-by-Step Sewing Tips Following a few simple cutting and pressing habits will help you preserve the crisp look of your batiks and ensure all your large rows line up perfectly. Sort Your Batiks: Because the Ink & Petal collection ranges from delicate dandelion prints to deep ink washes, sort your fabrics into light, medium, and dark groupings before cutting. This helps you scatter the colors evenly so your finished quilt looks perfectly balanced. Watch the Grainlines: Batik cottons have a wonderfully tight, dense weave that holds its shape beautifully. Press your seams open or flat with a hot, dry iron to keep your blocks completely square, taking care not to pull or stretch the edges out of line. Nest Those Rows: Lay your finished blocks out on a flat surface or a design wall to check your color arrangement. Use a few flat quilting pins at the seam intersections when sewing the blocks into rows to prevent the slick batik layers from sliding under your presser foot. Curated Fabric Line Compatibility This pattern is specifically factory-calibrated to use the exact print coordinates found within the premium Banyan Batiks catalog: The Official Ink & Petal Spectrum: Focal Motifs: Ink & Petal Botanical Dandelion Blends (Pearl Blue and Light Aqua tones) Contrast Accents: Deep Indigo Ink-Wash and Moody Slate Floral coordinates Framing & Backing: Coordinating Banyan Batik premium textures or custom backing arrays Authority Troubleshooting Note: Batik fabrics are tightly woven and saturated with rich, beautiful dyes. When making a large, high-contrast quilt like the 76" x 84" Confetti, always use a sharp, new needle (such as a Size 80/12 Microtex needle) to cleanly pierce the dense weave without pop-shredding the thread. Additionally, tossing a couple of color-catcher sheets into the initial wash cycle of the finished quilt will safely capture any lingering surface dye and keep your light pearl-blue backgrounds looking perfectly crisp.
