There is something so dreamy about a quilt that feels like it has a quiet little story to tell, and Faraway has exactly that mood. It is a generous 70" x 83" throw, big enough to wrap around the sofa on a slow afternoon, with a soft, simple block layout that lets pretty prints and solids do all the talking. The kind of quilt you make when you want something cosy and gentle on the eye.
The pattern is also charm friendly, which means it plays beautifully with precut 5" charm packs, so most of the cutting is already done for you before you sit down to sew. That makes it a lovely choice if you have a charm pack waiting in your stash, or if you just want a slower, more relaxed weekend project without a big cutting session.
- A welcoming throw size. At 70" x 83", Faraway is just right for snuggling on the sofa or layering at the end of a bed, generous without being a huge commitment.
- Built for charm packs. Pre-cut 5" squares fit the design beautifully, so you can let a charm pack you already love do most of the colour planning for you.
- Calm, classic piecing. The blocks are gentle and straightforward, which makes this a wonderful choice for a confident beginner or anyone who simply wants a meditative, repetitive sewing rhythm.

Tip: before you print the pattern, set your printer to "no scaling" or "actual size" so any measurements come out true. If you are using a charm pack, give the squares a quick press before sewing, it makes such a difference to how neatly the seams line up.

Happy quilting!
