Quilted Backpack Pattern

:: Beautiful Back to School project! :: This Quilted Backpack Pattern is for a sophisticated girl: it has ribbons & buttons, has contrast front cover, is covered with flowers ~ in one word: is cutter than a button.

I love this sweet quilted backpack and just know that thousands of young girls would love their mom to make this for them. (And can imagine moms making 4 of these simultaneously as they want one for them selves, one for their best friends and then have some to give a way as presents later on in the year…)

This backpack seems a bit sturdier than the usual one with just a drawstring thanks to both the quilting and its construction.

Designer: Heidi Pridemore,, using the Chloe fabric collection from P&B Textiles.

Choosing Patchwork / Quilting Fabric

Quilting Fabrics – 1 – Fat Quarters

Adorable Forest themed fabrics

Quilting Fabrics – 2 – Amy Butler

AMY BUTLER Fabric

Tip: I’d also use off-white for lining and minor other details, so that the colors will pop.

45” Wide Amy Butler Daisy Chain Wildflowers Navy Fabric By The Yard
