Patterns

This quilt is as simple as a nine-patch, a split rail fence and a setting square. In our sample, we chose the classic combination of blue and yellow as our darks and lights.

Choosing Fabric: You can select 1 dark, such as blue, and 1 light, such as yellow, for a simple three color quilt, or you can use many different darks and many different lights for a scrappy look.

Number of 2 1/2" Strips: You need 12 darks and 8 lights for a Crib, 22 darks and 16 lights for a Lap, 37 darks and 26 lights for a Twin and 47 darks and 33 lights for a Queen. You can use fat quarters without additional piecing. One fat quarter or quarter yard cut will yield the equivalent of 3 strips.

Finished Sizes: Crib- 41" x 58". Lap- 58" x 75". Twin- 75" x 92". Queen- 92" x 92".
