This Striking Quilt is Beginner-Friendly

Soft and Bold Colors Are Equally Beautiful!
A striking herringbone design makes this quilt stand out in a crowd. Vivid prints against black make it a real eye-catcher, although it’s also beautiful in softer color themes.
The quilt is beginner-friendly and a great project for precuts. Use charm packs (5″ squares), layer cake squares (10″), or fat quarters and choose a background to set them off.
Scraps are a good choice as well. Leftover precuts can also find a home in this quilt.
Designer Cheryl Brickey from Meadow Mist Designs provides instructions for the following quilt sizes:
- Baby – 40 ½” x 48 ½”
- Throw – 56 ½” x 64 ½”

- Queen – 88 ½” x 96 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). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
