Elevate your piecing skills and learn new techniques with this beautiful quilt. It’s based on a classic vintage block that’s been updated with modern piecing methods.

Soft, dusty colors are perfect for the quilt, although the block is stunning in any color theme. Whether you make one block for a small quilt or pillow cover, or enough for a quilt, your favorite colors will produce beautiful results.

Kimberly from the Fat Quarter Shop demonstrates how to make the block in a video found here. A free block pattern is also available.

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!
