Pattern of the Month

Cardigan is Quilt #20 in the 100 Quilt Project and my November Pattern of the Month—a cozy, modern design released just in time for sweater weather. At first glance, it’s a clean, interlocking design. But look a little closer, and you’ll see quiet complexity: six different block types, carefully planned seam directions, and the option to keep your palette bold and simple—or introduce slight shifts in color value for a quilt that glows with texture.

This pattern came to life during a burst of creativity… followed by a well-earned lesson in slowing down. The first version—a white and berry two-color quilt—taught me a lot about how rushing ahead can sometimes cost you later. Seams didn’t nest. Assembly was a struggle. The design wall was smug. So I made it again, revisiting the construction, refining the units, and playing with color. You can read the full story over in the Cardigan 100 Quilt Project journal post here.

The pattern includes instructions for throw, twin, queen, and king sizes, and is ideal for confident beginners who enjoy precision piecing, clean lines, and a little behind-the-scenes logic.
