Create a stunning diagonal design with this easy-to-follow Shuffled Tiles quilt pattern!
This beginner-friendly project by Ariga Wilson for Robert Kaufman Fabrics transforms a simple ten square pack into a dynamic 51" x 65" quilt featuring vibrant tropical prints arranged in an eye-catching diagonal layout.
Perfect for Beginners and Ten Square Pack Enthusiasts
The Shuffled Tiles pattern is specifically designed for quilters who want maximum impact with minimal complexity. Using the "Totally Tropical" fabric collection, this pattern creates movement and visual interest through its clever arrangement of colorful squares separated by clean white sashing strips. The diagonal flow of the design gives the illusion of complexity while remaining completely achievable for beginning quilters.
What Makes This Pattern Special
This quilt pattern features a unique diamond-shaped layout where rows gradually increase and then decrease in length, creating beautiful negative space that frames the vibrant tropical fabrics. The strategic placement of sashing strips between each square allows the bold prints to shine individually while maintaining cohesion throughout the design. The finished quilt measures 51" x 65", making it perfect for a lap quilt, wall hanging, or twin bed topper.
Simple Construction with Professional Results
Despite its sophisticated appearance, the Shuffled Tiles pattern uses only basic quilting techniques. Each row is constructed by sewing squares together with sashing strips, then the rows are joined to create the final design. The pattern includes detailed step-by-step instructions for cutting, piecing, and assembly, ensuring success even for those new to quilting.
