If you love a quilt that is fresh, playful and full of personality, this free pattern is a real charmer. Mod Dots takes the cheerful simplicity of polka dots and gives them a clean, modern makeover in a palette of bright, happy solids. It finishes at a generous 72" x 90", a wonderful size for a double bed, so you can wrap your whole room in a little burst of joy.
Here is what makes this one such a treat to stitch:
- It is a celebration of solids. The whole design relies on clean, unprinted colour, so your fabrics get to shine and those mod dots pop beautifully against their background.
- Cheerful yet wonderfully calm. The dotty design feels fun and contemporary, but the simple shapes keep it soothing to piece, perfect for a relaxed weekend at the machine.
- Make it your own. With several colourways to take inspiration from, you can lean bright and bold or soft and sorbet sweet, whatever suits your room and your mood.
To make your own, you will want a generous background solid plus a happy handful of accent shades for the dots, along with your usual backing and binding. It is a lovely way to play with colour combinations you adore.
