There is something so cheerful about a row of little houses marching across a quilt, and this free pattern gives that classic idea a fresh, modern twist. Flip This House plays with crisp black, white and grey solids, then adds a happy pop of citrus and poppy, so the whole design feels graphic and bright at the same time. It finishes at a generous 66" x 78", a lovely size for a throw or a single bed.
Here is what makes this one such a treat to stitch:
- It is a celebration of solids. The clean black, white and grey backdrop lets those little bursts of colour really shine, which is exactly why solid cottons are so perfect for this design.
- The flipped houses add movement. By turning the house blocks in different directions, the quilt gets a playful, dancing rhythm that keeps your eye happily wandering across it.
- It is friendly for confident beginners. The blocks are built from simple shapes, so if you are ready to move beyond squares, this is a gentle and very rewarding next step.
To make your own, you will mostly need three calm solids in black, white and grey for the background and houses, plus small amounts of two bright accent shades for those cheerful pops. It is a wonderful way to use solids you love and a few scraps for the little details.
