One Large Block Makes a Striking Quilt
It’s Beautiful in Colors for Any Season!
This eye-catching quilt blends simplicity with striking visual impact. It offers a fresh take on traditional patchwork, combining clean geometry on a large scale with beautiful prints to create a quilt that is sure to be noticed.
Part of the beauty lies in its versatility. The original version features a harmonious palette of soft neutrals and muted prints, creating a calming, modern aesthetic.
But the pattern is a chameleon, ready to adapt to your personal style. Some options to consider are:
- Bold & Graphic: Try high-contrast solids like black and white, or jewel tones against a crisp background for a dramatic effect.
- Scrappy Delight: Dive into your stash! This pattern thrives on variety. Use leftover 5″ charm squares to create a vibrant, eclectic quilt.
- Seasonal Themes: Think autumn batiks, spring florals, or wintery blues and silvers. The design makes it easy to highlight themed prints.
The quilt is designed for 5″ charm squares, either from one fabric line or selected from your stash. It’s also a great project for scraps, and in addition, it would be beautiful made up in gradients of colors to create a subtle ombré flow from the center to the outside of the quilt.
Plus, it’s ideal for both confident beginners and seasoned quilters. Simply chain-piece the squares and add a few large triangles and squares.
The completed quilt designed by Anita Peluso measures 60″ x 72″.
