Sew Kind of Wonderful Posh Spring Quilt Pattern: A Closer Look

Quick Answer

The Posh Spring quilt pattern from Sew Kind of Wonderful is a curved-piecing project that suits advanced beginners and beyond. It yields a finished quilt of approximately 60" x 60" and calls for about 3 yards of fabric, plus a QCR ruler for the curved seams. The pattern provides step-by-step instructions and diagrams to guide you through each block.

Posh Spring is one of those patterns that catches your eye with its fresh, floral feel—but before you add it to your cart, you probably want the nitty-gritty: finished size, fabric amounts, skill level, and how clear the instructions really are. This closer look answers the questions quilters most often ask about the pattern.

We’ve pulled together the key facts from the pattern listing and paired them with practical notes so you can decide with confidence whether Posh Spring fits your skill set and your fabric stash.

What Size Quilt Does Posh Spring Make?

Posh Spring is designed to finish at approximately 60" x 60", making it a versatile lap or throw quilt. That size works well for snuggling on the couch, draping over a chair, or even using as a wall hanging if you prefer. If you’re planning to gift it, this is a manageable size that won’t take forever to quilt.

Because the pattern is built from blocks, you could potentially adjust the layout to make a smaller runner or larger bed quilt, but the instructions and yardage are written for the 60" square version. If you want to resize, you’ll need to do your own math and add fabric accordingly.

How Much Fabric Do I Need?

The pattern calls for approximately 3 yards of fabric total. That includes a mix of prints and background fabric—typically you’ll need about 1.5 yards of background and 1.5 yards of assorted prints, though the exact breakdown is in the pattern. Because Posh Spring uses curved piecing, you’ll want to choose fabrics that press well and hold a crease.

If you’re using fat quarters or scraps, you can likely pull from your stash, but check the pattern’s fabric requirements first. Some quilters find it helpful to have a bit extra for test blocks or to fussy-cut motifs.

What Skill Level Is Required?

Posh Spring is rated for advanced beginners and beyond. That means if you’ve sewn a few quilts and are comfortable with basic piecing, you can tackle this pattern—especially if you have a QCR ruler. The curved seams are the main challenge, but the pattern’s step-by-step instructions and diagrams break them down clearly.

If you’re new to curved piecing, it’s a good idea to practice on scraps first. The QCR ruler makes the process much easier because it trims your curved pieces accurately, so you don’t have to worry about mismatched seams.

Are the Instructions Easy to Follow?

Yes, the Posh Spring pattern includes detailed step-by-step instructions with clear diagrams for each stage. The pattern assumes you know basic quilting terms but walks you through the curved piecing technique, so you won’t be left guessing. Many quilters appreciate that Sew Kind of Wonderful patterns are written with the home sewer in mind.

One tip: read through the entire pattern before you start cutting. That way you’ll understand how the blocks go together and can plan your fabric placement. Having a QCR ruler on hand will also make the cutting and trimming steps go smoothly.
