Crisp Colors Create a Striking Quilt

| It’s Easy Enough for Beginners!
Two simple blocks combine for an eye-catching quilt to enjoy all summer. The design is reminiscent of military medals, although it also makes us think of marinas and regattas.
Whether you choose a patriotic interpretation or will use yours all summer, this is an easy quilt even for beginners. It will also be beautiful in other color themes.
Choose solids or tone-on-tone prints to emphasize the crisp design. Or soften the look by choosing smaller-scale prints.
The quilt designed by Susan Deshensky is 74 ½” x 84 ½”.
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).
