There is a reason a two-colour quilt never really goes out of fashion. The clean palette lets the piecing tell its own quiet story, and a classic colour pairing has a way of looking right at home in almost any room. Classic Colors is a lovely little pattern that celebrates exactly that, a finished quilt of 51" x 60" built around either a rich red palette or a calm, cool blue, depending on the mood you are after.
The pattern uses traditional piecing with 2.5" strips and half square triangles, set into a balanced layout that gives the eye plenty of detail to enjoy without ever feeling busy. It is a satisfying make for an experienced intermediate quilter who is comfortable with strip piecing and triangle units, and the finished size works beautifully as a sofa throw or a generous lap quilt.
- Two beautiful colourways. The pattern offers a warm red version and a cool blue version, so you can choose the palette that suits your space best, or play with your own two-colour pairing.
- Classic, timeless feel. The block layout has that lovely heritage quilt quality, the kind of design that looks as at home in a country cottage as it does in a modern lounge.
- Finished size 51" x 60". A generous lap quilt size, perfect for cosying up on the sofa, gifting to a friend, or draping over a guest bed.

Tip: a 45° triangle ruler makes cutting the triangle units much quicker and more accurate. Before printing the pattern, set your printer to "no scaling" or "actual size" so the measurements stay true.
Happy quilting!
