Quilt Block Mania
Written By Meghan Morris

This month’s Quilt Block Mania theme is gardening, and it inspired a fresh new design I’m calling Garden Fences. This free modern quilt block pattern is a fun and beginner-friendly design that lets you play with bold floral fabrics and clean, modern lines. It’s perfect for spring quilting projects or anytime you want a touch of lush garden vibes in your quilt.

A Garden-Themed Quilt Block with Modern Flair

The Garden Fences block is designed to look like you’re peeking through a picket fence into a blooming backyard. The contrast between the crisp fence lines and the wild beauty of a floral print creates a striking effect—especially when you choose a bold, oversized floral for the background.
