There is something so uplifting about a quilt with movement in its name, and Hope Takes Flight 2 has that lovely sense of lightness from the very first glance. It is a generous 59" x 75" lap quilt with soft, airy blocks that feel like a gentle exhale at the end of a long week, the kind of project that quietly cheers you on while you sew it.
The pattern is charm friendly, so it works beautifully with precut 5" squares, which means most of the cutting is already done for you before you even sit at the machine. The original sample shows it off in warm, sunlit batiks, but it would be just as gorgeous in soft pastels, bright modern prints or a calm scrappy mix from your stash.
- A welcoming lap size. At 59" x 75", this quilt is just right for sofa snuggles, picnic blankets or a thoughtful gift, generous without being a huge commitment.
- Made 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.
- A gentle, confident-beginner make. The blocks are calm and friendly, perfect if you are working your way up to a bigger project or simply want a peaceful, 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!
