Hello quilting friends and fabric lovers!
I’m beyond excited to introduce you to my latest project: the Dual Directions Quilt Pattern! If you’re ready to embark on a quilting adventure filled with creativity, ease, and endless possibilities, this is the project for you!
Make an easy quilt!
This super easy foundation paper piecing (FPP) pattern is perfect for beginners. It’s a great project to learn and practice traditional FPP using regular paper OR piecing with freezer paper — more on that below!
Another thing I absolutely love about the Dual Directions pattern is its versatility. This pattern allows you to create a modern quilt with lots of movement, and the best part? It pairs perfectly with prints, solid fabric, or a combination of both! Dive into your fabric stash and make it scrappy, or grab your favorite Fat Quarter bundle – the choice is entirely yours. Want to make a quilt that looks like mine? Get all the specs below!
Endless Fun Options
There are TONS of possibilities with Dual Directions. Not only does this pattern come with two layout options (diagonal stripes or diagonal gradient), but I also included coloring sheets for you to design your very own masterpiece!
Quilts in all sizes
I’ve got you covered with instructions for multiple quilt sizes —a runner to decorate your table, a baby quilt for a precious little one, or a cozy throw for your couch. Each block measures 8″ x 8″ finished. This pattern provides detailed instructions and diagrams, making the quilting process a breeze.
Bonus Tutorial Alert: Stress-Free Freezer Paper Piecing
I’m working on putting together a special video tutorial just for you, releasing the week of October 23rd! You’ll learn how to use freezer paper to foundation paper piece and say goodbye to the hassle of ripping out paper and hello to reusable templates that’ll save you time and effort. Be sure to subscribe to my newsletter to be alerted when the free video tutorial is available.
That said, if you prefer to use traditional FPP methods with paper, you can totally piece that way too! Need a general paper piecing tutorial? Check out my free Foundation Paper Piecing mini tutorial/mini-class here.
