Patch-No-Work! in Kaffe Fassett



By now you know that I'm a BIG fan of BIG pieces that use BIG prints so you won't be surprised that I've designed "Patch-No-Work" to showcase those prints.




I make this quilt whenever I have to give a substantial gift -- like a niece wedding -- because it makes a big splash. And it appeals to people from that XY generation. You know, those younger folks who don't want a quilt that looks like it belonged to grandma. They want to appear hip and fresh -- they paint their houses funky colors like red kitchens and navy blue family rooms.










Like most Allison Quilt Designs patterns, you never cut a piece. It's all strips, subcut and assembled into a giant queen size quilt that frames a bed perfectly.





The original is in the red/gold colorways, but I made a blue/gold last summer and I'll publish a picture of anyone who makes this quilt in purple and gold! How regal that would be!


Anyone for a green/magenta colorway?

I love the blue one and I see a challenge in doing a purple and gold!
Fantastic pattern!
