Varying Degrees of Contrast Make a Striking Quilt

It’s Interesting and Beautiful in Any Color Theme!
Small squares create lost-and-found diagonal lines in this eye-catching quilt. Varying degrees of contrast, whether between values or colors, create the intriguing lost-and-found design.
This a fun project because you won’t quite know how it will turn out until it’s sewn together. Plus, it’s charming in any color palette and most fabric styles.
Darker colors and smaller-scale plaids and other prints combine for a warm and inviting Christmas version with a vintage feel. Brighter colors are also beautiful in this design.
Since the quilt is constructed with simple squares and four-patches it’s doable by quilters of most skill levels.

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!
