Upstream Quilt Pattern By Cozy Quilt Designs
The Upstream quilt pattern provides a fresh, modern approach to piecing, specifically designed for use with Fat Quarters. This efficient design transforms your favourite bundles into a visually stunning, directional quilt that is quick to assemble.
The main pattern showcases a field of elongated, uniform hexagon or shield shapes arranged in tight vertical rows. The cutting technique cleverly shapes the fabric pieces to interlock seamlessly, creating a strong sense of vertical movementas if the shapes are indeed swimming upstream.
The sample quilt uses a rich autumnal palette of earthy browns, terracotta oranges, deep olives, and creams. When the background fabric is placed as shown, it highlights the shape of each piece and gives the quilt a textural, almost woven appearance. The arrangement is perfect for displaying a diverse collection of prints and tonal blenders, as the repetition of the shape unifies a wide variety of fabrics.
Includes instructions for Baby, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King sizes, offering a versatile project suitable for any room.
