Pastel Colors Make a Gorgeous Quilt

It’s Stunning in Bolder Prints, Too!
We were instantly drawn to this beautiful quilt because of the lovely combination of pastel colors. However, the quilt will be even more stunning in a bolder palette.
Choose a wide variety of coordinating fat quarters for the blocks, along with a neutral background. Notice how the sashing pulls everything together and serves as the predominant color.
The quilt is suitable for an enthusiastic beginner and is comprised of 8-at-a-time half-square triangles and square-in-a-square blocks.
Designer Mary Burroughs-Mayer from Ember Craft Company provides instructions for the following quilt sizes:
- Baby – 36″ x 36″
- Lap – 53″ x 53″
- Large Throw – 70″ x 70″
- Bed – 104″ x 104″
