Meet the Penny Quilt Pattern! I feel like I had to wait so, so long to share this one with you and I have been so excited.
I think you are really going to love this pattern. It is constructed by making big blocks, then cutting them into pieces, so the quilt actually comes together really quickly.
My absolute favorite, favorite thing about this pattern is how well it looks with different fabric combinations. Want to use more muted colors? It works!
Want to go for a more limited color range with solids? That works too!
Plus, even though it isn't completely fat quarter friendly, you can use MOSTLY fat quarters to make your quilt.
I will post more about the cover version of the pattern, the second version that I made (using new Denyse Schmidt fabrics!), and my pattern testers quilts over the next few days. I have so many photos to share - this one was a lot of fun to photograph.
If you would like to pick up your own version of the Penny Quilt Pattern, you can find it in the shop!
What a fun one! I love how you make big blocks and then cut them up!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It really speeds up the process and the quilt comes together pretty quickly.
DeleteLove this pattern!

What an awesome quilt pattern! It looks so cool! Thanks for sharing it :)
ReplyDeleteHow big are the blocks? I'm trying to plan a Quilt of Valor around a Marine Corps insignia panel.
ReplyDeleteThey are 12" - the pattern has you make big blocks and then cut them into quarters.
DeleteSuch a pretty pattern! I can't wait to get started! I'm planning on making the twin sized quilt, and have a question about the fabric requirements... Does the
ReplyDelete"(6) 1/2 yards" notation for fabrics A, B and C mean that I need a total of 9 yards (3 yards each for A B and C) for those parts of the pattern? Thanks so much!
Thank you! Yes, that is correct. If you are making the twin size, you will need six half yard cuts for each A, B, and C.
