You can sew it as a simple two-color pattern or insert a third color for one of the crosses to create a bold statement piece. Despite its complex appearance, this design is within the grasp of many beginners. Because the pattern contains many small pieces, it's an excellent choice for using up fabric scraps. The design easily allows you to mix scraps because it does not demand consistent placement of specific colors. Although the scraps will have frugal roots from your scrap bag, it will turn out like a high-value piece of fabric art.
I wanted to use solids to make the different stars pop against the white background when designing this pattern.
This pattern can easily be tweaked to make a larger or smaller quilt top. Simply add or subtract star blocks to make the size you would like. When you want fast and satisfying results, choose the fishing net pattern.
Cutting and sewing work goes quickly as you build a pattern that appears to be loosely woven strips. Although requiring less effort than other patterns, the design pops in several places to make you look like a clever quilter indeed. Mod Mountains presents a clear example of a modern quilt design. It breaks rules with a bit of asymmetry and random size alterations of the triangular mountains. You might even find an opportunity to work in some scrap fabric when you're putting this one together.
You'll also find that the pieces are easy to cut and organize despite the pattern's apparent complexity. You'll find all the hallmarks of modern quilting in this collection because this book of modern quilt ideas breaks new ground.
As a result, it introduces some compelling ideas. The minimalist designs showcase the artistry of the quilting process through simple gatherings of lines, circles, and shapes.
The designer has brought the traditional winged square pattern into the new century. A bold central color square anchors a flyaway pattern that forms an almost three-dimensional frame.
To sew a truly customized accent piece, select a color for the central square that matches your home's interior decor. Beginners looking to hone their skills can sew this modern version of a coin quilt.
Three columns display non-repeating geometric shapes on a solid background. However, you might choose to work in some prints if you'd like to draw attention to certain spots. The Lone Star design is such a classic, traditional piece, so we wanted to create something that was obviously honoring that design while also giving it a new, modern spin.
The possibilities are endless with this pattern if you play around with colors and fabric patterns. Gorgeous and perfectly symmetrical, the Nomad quilt pattern is a truly modern piece of art.
The design has given you four sizes to choose from, ranging from a pillow cover to a large throw size. The color palette for their example quilt is a sublime dusty desert vibe, and I am an instant fan. The confetti-like pieces of the rainbow dancing around make this pattern so charming. This pattern has six different sizes to choose from, and all sizes are fat quarter friendly, which is a huge plus.

Be the first to start one ». About Anita Hallock. Anita Hallock. Books by Anita Hallock. So I just plan on squaring them up. I agree. What is the square by row layout for the twin quilt? Second quilt so still a beginner. Really excited to try this quilt. How many blocks by rows for a twin? Want to make sure I do it right. My second quilt so I am still a beginner. Thanks so much for these easy to follow instructions. Will this quilt look ok with a few random small squares of another fabric that goes well with the others.
I am not sure I have enough of the 13 that I need, they cut my pieces too small when I bought them. But yes, I would just add other fabrics in colors that go well.
I think it will look even better with more variety. Any help would be appreciated! THanks for the heads up! I made a lovely pink quilt for my granddaughter for Christmas and she and her parents love it.
Thank you for your great instructions! Some of terms used for fabric are confusing to me. I am hoping to try this pattern out for my first quilt.
I see these really cute Fat Quarter fabrics at JoAnn and was wondering if those would work ok for the four-square patches? Any help would be appreciated. So if you are making the crib size quilt, you would need at least 5 Fat Quarters. Could you tell me the dimensions of each block for the backing? Just making sure I understand your question — do you mean the 4-patch block measurements?
Let me know if that is not the information you are looking for. Just made this quilt using the new Star Wars fabric as the focus piece with contrasting 4 patch. It came out beautiful. I made the twin size and the directions were easy to follow and accurate.
Love this pattern. Thank you SO much for letting me know! Just an FYI. Do you think it would work? I love this quilt! I need to make a crib quilt for my son, how could I adjust this for crib quilt dimensions? What are the dimensions of the big square? I have made four quilts so far, but all have been crib size. You are so easy to follow! Thank you for sharing! Love this quilt! How would you suggest doing the quilting with only straight lines? Can you give the measurements for a throw sized quilt?
If you already have, will you point me in the right direction? I have not made a quilt yet, this one looks like a good candidate for my first try! Good questions. This quilt is beautiful and I want to try this as my first quilt, making it for an elderly nursing home patient but can you tell me how to make it throw size?
How many blocks and how many rows across the top and down? Thanks so much! I am so excited, not only have I found a tutorial I understand in an effort to try my hand at quilting first time quilter, long time pinner but you actually still respond to questions from your followers. Look for lots to come your way. Quilters, I have a question about how to deal with the back side of this quilt. One of the pictures shows the back with five wide strips of fabric that span the whole width of the quilt 11th picture down from the top of the page.
Those are solid pieces of fabric, right? BTW, I plan to use only 3 different fabrics on the back rather than five: 1 yard of one, 3 yards of another, and 2 yards of a third. I have enough fabric, but not enough to make solid strips across, like in the picture. Make big blocks? Try to match prints to give the effect of solid strips? Or some other fix?
Any ideas or advice you feel like sharing would be so appreciated! And thanks for reading this long-winded post.
For a queen size quilt , how many 4. The math is confusing me. Yes, you need a total of 4. Any tips or tricks? I hope that helps! Thanks so much for your question. Thank you so much for the beautiful pattern, also I love how you also provided the instructions for other sizes, that was very helpful!!!
Attempting the queen size quilt. Spent 5 hours cutting square, and only have 80 4. Is the average or is there a faster way to get this done? Do quilts work well with flannel fabric? I want to try this pattern with some I got on sale? Thanks for the tutorial. Using that number, decide how big you want your baby quilt to finish. Graph paper or sketching it out will make it easy to customize it to whatever size you want.
Also, I am wondering about using the fleece fabric for the backing. Is it a good idea to mix fabrics? Definitely apply the interfacting before you piece them together. If possible, I would apply the iron on interfacting, where possible, before you even cut the squares. It will give them stability and help them keep their shape — it will make it SO much easier to bot cut AND sew them together.
I would try googling it to see if someone talks about using fleece as a quilt back, just to be safe. New to quiliting — I am making a king size quilt — I am wanting to make the 4 patch with borders. I would like to make this quilt for my daughter. Could you please help me? I have a question. I just cut 80 five inch squares. For the twin size it should be 11 strips 8. Equal 44 sq. You list 9 strips. Thank you for sharing.. Have I made a mistake? You were exactly right! My seams were all just a little too big.
I reviewed your tutorial and will get it right next time. I just trimmed down all my blocks and carried on. I finished binding it today and now my first quilt is in the books. Thanks for sharing these instructions. I verified by using paper. Absolutely lovely!
