Create a Classic Quilt In Your Colors
| March 14, 2025 | Quilt Ideas
Play with Fabric Styles Too!
Two classic blocks combine to make a beautiful quilt that will work with just about any decor. Depending on the fabrics you choose, it can be given many personalities.
For example, solids will give it a distinctly modern vibe. Small-scale reproduction prints can give it a charming retro feel, and Civil War-era reproduction fabrics will be warm and welcoming.
Play with colors, too. We love the blue and yellow theme chosen by the designer, but other two-color themes plus a neutral will be just as beautiful. You can also emphasize value contrasts and give your version a colorful scrappy look. Whatever you choose is sure to produce a treasured quilt you’ll enjoy for years.
Instructions are provided by Quilt Design NW for two quilt sizes:
- Throw quilt – 59″ x 71″
- Queen quilt – 89″ x 89″
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
