Large-Scale Prints are Stunning in This Quilt
Mix Them with Smaller Prints and Solids!
Do you have beautiful large-scale prints you’re not sure how to use? They’ll be wonderful in this quilt and show off to perfection.
Mix large-scale and smaller scale prints, then use a quiet print or solid for the sashing accent to give the eye resting spots. Any color theme you love will be great in this quilt.
Whether you go with strong contrasts or more subdued, the quilt will turn out great. You’ll find several examples below by the designer and others.

You’ll need a large 60 degree ruler to make this quilt (unless you want to cut a template). The Creative Grids 60 Degree Triangle Ruler is suggested, although any 12.5″ 60 degree ruler will work (you’ll find a selection here).
