Adaptable quilt

Adaptable quilt

You can use as many different fabrics as you want. This pattern is for a quilt roughly 32” square. For larger quilts increase the number of 18” squares.

  • It is made up of 4 units
  • Start with 4 x 18” square pieces of fabric (use contrasting fabrics)
  • Stack the 4 pieces on top of each other
  • Cut through all layers as shown in the diagram below

Reassemble the squares with the colours as evenly distributed as possible.

  • Sew 4 rectangles together and 3 squares together
  • Sew the 4 joined rectangles to the sewn 3 squares.
  • Sew the 4” x 18” oblong to the sewn 3 squares.
  • Sew 2 reassembled squares together so they are the opposite way up. Repeat with the other 2 squares. Join the 2 sets together.
  • If you wish to rearrange the squares in a different way they may need to be trimmed.
