This modern geometric pattern is a great beginner quilt project as you won’t need to master any advanced patchwork techniques to make it take shape. We’ve created it as a baby quilt but you could easily adapt it with your favourite colours to add a splash of colour to your sofa by turning it into a lap quilt.
The patchwork on the front of the quilt is made from simple solid fabrics, cut into half square rectangles, then sewn together to whip up a quick quilt top. Complement the sharp piecing by quilting the sandwich together with straight lines. If you’re new to making quilts, or this is your first one, head over to our guides to quilting for beginners and how to bind a quilt.
This quilt was designed by Lou Orth for Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine.
