QUILT PATTERN GUIDE

The Tessa Quilt

The Tessa Quilt is a modern, dynamic design that looks more complicated than it really is. With no Y-seams and efficient strip piecing, it comes together surprisingly quickly and works beautifully with solids, a coordinated collection, or a scrappy mix from your stash.

Lovely to make - wish I’d used a bolder colour for the squares which are spotty here - next time. My first free motion quilting. Scrappy fabrics.
