Forest Friends 2
But I finally made the Forest Friends 2 turn from a design idea into an actual quilt.
RJR Fabrics offered to sponsor this project using their latest collection – Hopscotch by Jamie Fingal. I love these prints! They are cute and tiny geometric prints that “read like a solid”. And the colours are amazing!
As I mentioned before…. The Forest Friends 2 design is compatible with the original Forest Friends design. Both patterns include a Twin size and Baby size option. All the block sizes are the same, so the blocks are interchangeable.
The quilting is organic wavy lines using my walking foot. I chose Light Grey Omni from Superior Threads on top and plain white Gutermann thread in the bobbin for the back.
The backing is from the Urban Artifacts collection by RJR Fabrics, which you can view here. I am simply in LOVE with this print! The colours, the dots, the flowers and the text. It is just such a fun print!
The original Forest Friends pattern is available here in my shop.
And the NEW Forest Friends 2 pattern is NOW available here in my shop.
TWIN Size finishes at 59” x 75”
BABY Size finishes at 31” x 39”

So beautiful Lorna. I esp. love that bluebird. Both versions of Forest Friends are awesome!
You are so talented. I am always so in awe of your designs!
Beautiful fabrics for your gorgeous Forest Friends 2 pattern! Love those blocks – especially the added mountain block! So enjoy how you add the footprints to tiptoe through it all. This one has my favorite two birds of all – blue jay and cardinal. Thank you for making it compatible with your Forest Friends 1 – so fun!!
Wow, and wow. I can't even imagine making something like your quilt. It is just superb. You are so awesome in your design and execution. I wish I could take a class from you as this is beyond me.
This is just awesome, Lorna! I'm already looking forward to mixing and matching with the first Forest Friends. So many possibilities!
What a gorgeous quilt, Lorna! I love the newest critters and birds that you have brought to life!! I think this fabric line is so cool, with the geo textures!!Just beautiful!!Susie
It's almost like these fabric prints were designed for this quilt. I think the blue jays and cardinals are my favorite 🙂 Congrats on another great pattern.
Gorgeous – love it. I do like the blue jay – only ever seen one on holiday – the colour is striking! And the cardinals are so bright (seen a few of those now) – wish we had both birds here.
Another great design. There's no stopping you, 😂😂. Love the bluebirds.
What a beautiful quilt!! I just love it!!
Another gorgeous quilt!! I love those fabrics too, they work really well here.
What longarm quilting pattern did you use?
I love it; nicely done.
Both of your Forest Friends quilts are just fantastic. I'd love to combine blocks from both to make a Queen sized quilt for my bed… but I'm afraid that project would be beyond me, since I've not yet made any quilt.
One word – fantastic
