Prickle Quilt
It’s genius! Although this graphic and modern quilt looks complicated, it is constructed with only one block and comes together quickly and easily. This is the kind of quilt you can make in a weekend and still have time to go for a hike and binge-watch Mad Men reruns.
What makes it work? Careful color placement. The blocks are set on point and the quilt top is constructed on the diagonal, so it is the ideal project to practice this setting technique. Never one to undervalue the final design element of quilt making, the wide green binding adds an unexpected colorful accent.
