Sew a beautiful Lotus quilt block with this fun and beginner-friendly tutorial from Stitched in Color! This 12″ finished block uses Drunkard’s Path curves to create a gorgeous lotus flower motif, with a central circle, petal shapes, and four background squares placed symmetrically. The free template makes cutting those curves so much easier – and yes, you can sew curves, even if you’re new to it! Just like learning straight seams, it gets better with a little practice. Try your first block with scrap fabric to build confidence. Stitch up nine blocks for a baby quilt or go big with 30 blocks for a 60″ x 72″ throw. Once you get the hang of those curves, you’ll love how eye-catching this block turns out!
