Rylan

A gorgeous medallion-style mini quilt pattern from Laundry Basket Quilts — Rylan combines a scrappy nine-patch centre with a bold star border for a design that’s both traditional and visually striking, finishing at 15½" × 19¼".

Rylan is a beautifully composed mini quilt that packs a lot of design interest into a small format — a lively scrappy nine-patch centre is framed by a ring of elegant star blocks, creating a medallion effect that looks far more complex than the individual elements suggest. It suits traditional, cottage, and vintage interiors, and works equally well as a wall hanging, table topper, or framed display piece.

This is a pieced pattern suitable for all skill levels, and it’s a wonderful way to showcase a mix of favourite prints. The nine-patch centre is perfect for using up small scraps or charm squares, while the star border benefits from a calm, consistent background fabric to let the points shine. A soft neutral or tone-on-tone background with a mix of florals and small prints gives a beautifully cohesive result. Pattern format: Printed. SKU: LBQ-1618-P.

Why this works well

• Medallion design with real visual depth — star border frames a scrappy nine-patch centre beautifully
• Perfect stash-buster: uses small scraps and charm squares for the centre
• Compact 15½" × 19¼" size — achievable in a weekend
• Suits traditional, cottage, and vintage interiors
• A lovely showcase for a favourite LBQ fabric collection

Rylan is one of those mini patterns that earns a permanent spot on the wall — the medallion layout gives it a real sense of occasion despite its small size. It’s a lovely project for using up a favourite collection of prints, and the star border adds just enough structure to pull everything together. Get in touch if you’d like help choosing fabrics.
