Meet Boxed In.
A fast, beginner + precut friendly quilt!
My spring and summer has been filled with lots of time outdoors at the baseball fields with my kids. A good outdoor quilt was a must, and this Boxed In quilt was perfect.
I really enjoy creating beginner + precut friendly quilts so that those who are just starting can find a good variety of patterns that aren't intimidating. At the same time, I like to create patterns that may look tricky, but really are simple once broken down. So grab your favorite Jelly Roll + Charm Pack and jump into Boxed In.
There are no funny angles, all squares + rectangles. AND best part, there is minimal point matching with the offset blocks!
Boxed In made it's debut this week in Issue 41 of Make Modern Magazine. I used Heirloom by Alexia Abegg for Ruby Star Society + some Add It Up in Metallic Copper from Ruby Star Society as well.
I just loved the earthy tones from the golds and rusts + the pops of blues that were apart of this Heirloom Collection paired with the Abacus quilting design - this quilt was a perfect fit for that on-the-go quilt.
Make Modern Magazine, have you heard of it?
