This pattern includes 9 sizes in all and is 10" square, FQ, or scrap friendly. There are options for three different ways to arrange the prints in the blocks, too!

Is it a precut collection or scraps?!
Snappy Squares is an awesome design for using your scrap bins! The pattern includes a chart that tells you how many of each piece size to cut for each quilt size, which makes using your scraps and leftover pieces easy. You'll likely love this feature in the pattern, and I aim to include a chart like this in all of my patterns now.
This quilt is made with a single layer cake but looks scrappy because of the wide variety of prints and colorways found in the layer cake. The fabric collection is Marigold by Aneela Hoey for Moda Fabrics which works perfectly for a modern eclectic vibe. This fabric collection is currently available right here.
Snappy Squares Pattern Sizes
As ever, this quilt pattern includes all of the sizes - 9 in all! If you've been here for any length of time, you know that I love to do all of the math for you, so you can make the exact quilt size you want without doing any extra calculations. I am here for the math! :)
Snappy Squares includes 9 quilt sizes, so the quilts you make will really meet the true needs of the people you create for.
- Baby 44" x 44"
- Crib 44" x 55"
- Lap 55" x 65"
- Throw 55" x 76"
- Large Throw 65" x 87"
- Full 87" x 87"
- Square Queen 98" x 98"
- Rectangular Queen 98" x 108"
- King 108" x 108"
I make every effort to design quilt sizes that are oversized in the bed sizes to account for shrinkage when you wash your quilts and to account for today's thicker mattresses. Plus, no one wants to fight over the covers!

Fabric Selection and Placement
The Snappy Squares fabric requirements include using 10" layer cake squares or fat quarters. Of course, you can always use your scrap bins, referring to the included chart that details how many of each piece size you'll need.
There are three ideas for print placement in each block, and each of these placement ideas result in a unique quilt.
- Place the prints at random
- Use the same print in each block
- Use a single colorway with several prints in a block
The fabric in each of the three quilt mockups above is Mistletoe & Holly by Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake Designs. This collection is currently available right here.
Longarm Machine Quilting
I found the perfect digital longarm quilting design for this quilt at Sew Shabby Pantos. It's called Wild Landscape and is available right here. It echoes the tulip, leaf, and daisy prints in the fabric and stitches out easily without any back-stitching.
