The easy quilt pattern Novice Stripe is part of a brand new line of sewing patterns from CocoWawa, where you will also find the more advanced Dewdrop quilt.
We are offering this easy quilt pattern as a standalone PDF pattern (like the rest of the CocoWawa patterns). In this case you will get a booklet with all the instructions and the pattern pieces that you can download and print to make your quilt. This would be perfect for you if you already have some basic experience with quilting. The Novice Stripe quilt pattern also comes as an exciting online course that you can follow at Udemy’s teaching platform, in case you feel that you need more help on your quilting journey.
Details easy quilt pattern
The Novice Stripe easy quilt pattern features a beautiful and simple design made out of 6 blocks sewn together and with a colourful rectangle in the middle of each one of them.
You can mix and match the colours of the background with the rectangles as you please. Maybe you like prints? Or you prefer choosing some vibrant solids to combine with a softer palette? The size of this beginner friendly quilt (34×50” or 87x126cm) is ideal if you have lots of scraps of fabric at home. It is also perfect for quilt novices as it is easier to work with and sew due to its size. The quilt will look very nice hanging on a wall, as a gift to a loved one or for a baby’s crib.
