Happy Sunday! I'm excited to share a new quilt pattern with you today! I've taken one of my most popular tutorials, the Plus Quilt Tutorial (which is still available of course!), and given it a major upgrade with this pattern, Arithmetic! I've been asked many times for help making other sizes, and especially if I'd provide it in PDF form. This pattern is so much more than that!
The original tutorial uses 4.5" squares to make a throw sized quilt. In the pattern version, you'll find instructions/measurements/fabric requirements for quilts using 2.5" squares (for scrap lovers!), 4.5" squares and 8" squares. On top of that, you can choose from six quilt sizes: Baby, Throw, Twin, Double, Queen, and King! So, you've got 18 different options for your plus quilt adventures!
I've included "plus totals" for all the sizes as well to make it easy to cut from scraps, or if you have different yardage than suggested!
8" Squares (Queen)
4.5" Squares (Throw)
2.5" Squares (Baby)
I have fabrics pulled for a baby sized quilt using 2.5" squares! The all solids plus quilt I've made was given to my parents, and I want one for myself to hang on the wall. I'm using Art Gallery Pure Elements in Mauvelous, Verve Violet, Crystal Pink, Quartz Pink, Lemonade, Dark Citron, Mirage Blue and Tile Blue. Hoping to start cutting today!
You can find Arithmetic in my pattern shop, here!
As always, thanks for your support!
Just bought it, excited to make one soon! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I just made the original pattern with 4.5" squares. It is at the long-arm quilter...I can't wait it back and see how it turned out. Thank you!!!!
ReplyDeletegreat pattern!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great pattern! Love the size options. =D
ReplyDeleteTotally unrelated, but I bought your drawstring bag pattern this weekend and have been having so much fun with the different sizes! The tiny one is my favorite. Perfect for holding jewelry when I travel. Great pattern, very clear and I love the customizable math pages you included. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI just cut the original pattern on Friday. Mine will be a full sized Madrona Road bed quilt in the blue color way. I also added some Essex solids and other blenders. Can't wait to get started
ReplyDeleteSaturday (late!) I finished a quilt top using your tutorial. I made 4" squares out of a Christmas line. I had already made one using larger squares (Joy fabric) and it's amazing how different the quilt looks using smaller squares. Thanks so much for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteJen, I didnt know you wrote patterns, I started about a month ago seriously following you, I just thought you were a cute young lady that used vintage sheets and had awesome ability to Super Sew.... This is an awesome aha ha ! moment on a Monday morning.
ReplyDeleteI bought one too! Love, love, love this pattern. Thank you!
