𧡠Diagonal Strip Quilt β PDF Quilt Pattern
4 finished sizes: baby, throw, twin, queen/full Β· strip-pieced diagonal bands on a solid background Β· ΒΌ" seam allowance Β· instant download
Two wide bands of pieced strips cross the quilt on the diagonal and cut it into a big, graphic X. That's the whole design β and that's why it works. It reads from across the room, it takes almost no piecing skill, and it turns a pile of narrow strips into something that looks far harder than it was.
It's a strip quilt, so it's forgiving. Jelly roll strips, leftovers from other projects, or a set of prints you've been saving β they all end up in the same bands. Sew a baby size in a weekend, or go all the way to a queen. Same pattern, four sizes, one file. β¨
