This quilt combines traditional scrappy churn dash squares with bold half-square triangles to create a graphic, modern look. Choose a dark solid, a light solid, and six different playful prints to create this beautiful quilt. You can buy yardage for the scrappy blocks, use your stash, or use six fat quarters. The amounts given are to create a lap quilt (54 by 71 inches), but you could easily add more blocks or borders to create a larger size.

This quilt is fairly easy so it is perfect for an advanced beginner quilter, but interesting enough for an advanced quilter. I include detailed instructions and pictures to make the process easy. The quilt comes together quickly. The large half-square triangle squares can be used to showcase your beautiful quilting. This is a perfect quilt for gifting or donating to charity.

Because the pattern uses lots of half-square triangles, I recommend that you use a square-up ruler for 9 1/2 inch blocks and 3 1/2 inch blocks. I love the 12 1/2 inch one sold by Quilt in a Day.
