I was asked to make a few items for quilt market by one of my favorite fabric designers, Jenean Morrison! She has a line with Free Spirit Fabrics, and her new line is Wishing Well. I only had a few days to come up with a plan, and the fabrics inspired my to make this, Four Coins for the Wishing Well. The line is GORGEOUS. there are some small prints and ginghams that have a sugar sack feel, mixed with bold beautiful prints to bring together vintage and modern in one cohesive line. I am so in love with these fabrics! So I took a basic 4 patch and rail fence to mix up and give it a cuddle quilt feel.

Cut your 4 patch fabrics into 3 ½ inch strips, piece
those strips then cut down to 3 ½ again, then piece those to a four patch. You
need 18 total 4 patch blocks.
Cut your Rail Fence Fabrics into 2 inch strips. You will
use about half of each FQ for the blocks, the rest you can save for the
binding. You will use almost all of your Floral Ditzy.
Cut 4 -1½ inch strips from the small border fabric.
Cut 5 - 4 ½ inch strips from your outside border fabric.
There are two rail fence blocks, but for each Floral
Ditzy is the first edge fabric. Piece the strips together, then cut into 6 ½
inch blocks. You need 9 of each.
Assemble the big blocks like the photo, with a 4 patch, then
vertical rail fence. Second row is horizontal rail fence then a 4 patch.
Assemble the blocks in 3 rows of 3, add small border then
larger! Sew easy!
