There is something so calming about a quilt that feels like a piece of modern art on your bed, and Piet does exactly that. The design lines up tidy columns of charm squares between strong black sashing, mixing soft solids with busier grid prints, and the effect is gallery-fresh, gentle, and surprisingly easy to put together.
The finished quilt measures 50" x 63", a really lovely lap or throw size, and it leans on a small palette of muted colours with a sashing colour strong enough to hold everything together. Best of all, this pattern is charm pack friendly, so a stack of pre-cut 5" squares is just about all you need to dive in.
- A beautiful modern feel. The mix of calm solid squares and small pieced grid blocks gives the quilt a quiet, artful rhythm that is easy on the eyes and lovely to live with.
- A really friendly construction. The blocks are made from 5" squares set into vertical strips, which means no triangles, no curves, just simple piecing and good pressing.
- A lovely showcase for a stash. Because the design absorbs lots of small fabric moments so happily, it is the perfect home for a charm pack you have been saving or a collection of scraps you would love to use up together.

Tip: before you print the pattern, set your printer to "no scaling" or "actual size" so the measurements come out true. Pressing each seam carefully really helps the long sashing strips lie nice and flat, which is what gives this design its tidy, modern look.
