Mint Julep Quilt Pattern Review

A $2 Layer Cake Quilt You’ll Actually Finish!

Hey quilting friends! 💛 Emily here from Quilting Your Legacy, and today I’m sharing one of my favorite fast-finish quilt patterns—Mint Julep by Villa Rosa Designs. It’s sweet, simple, and only $2… yes, really!

And the best part? All you need is one Layer Cake (42 pre-cut 10" squares) and a few additional yardage pieces for borders and binding. If you’ve got a stack of 10" squares just waiting for their moment to shine—this might be the perfect project for you!

🧵 Why I Love the Mint Julep Pattern

This pattern is what I like to call a “weekend win”—quick to cut, easy to sew, and super satisfying to finish.

Here’s why it stands out:

• Layer Cake friendly (no major trimming!)

• Beginner-approved instructions

• Bold layout with room for play—your prints take center stage

• Only $2! That’s less than a fancy coffee 😄

If you’re looking for a project that lets your fabric do the talking, this is a great choice.

🧵 Fabric Tips + Color Ideas

Whether you're raiding your stash or shopping for something fresh, here are a few combos I love for Mint Julep:

▢ Bold florals + soft solids for a summer garden vibe
▢ Red, white, and blue for a patriotic picnic topper
▢ Tula Pink + tone-on-tones for a bright, playful look
▢ Seasonal prints (like fall leaves or snowflakes) for holiday gifts
▢ Baby brights if you’re gifting to a new little one

🔁 Pro tip: Repeat a few favorite fabrics twice if your Layer Cake has fewer than 42 different prints—it still works beautifully.
