New... The Dashing Duo Quilt Pattern

Each year I challenge myself to design a quilt pattern with pre-cut fabrics in mind. For the 2024/2025 addition, I’m thrilled to announce the Dashing Duo Quilt Pattern. While the design may look intricate, it is actually quite simple.

This visually appealing quilt pattern is not only pre-cut friendly, it is also perfect for quilters of all skill levels, whether you're a beginners or an experienced quilter.

Let’s dive into all the details about this new quilt pattern!

What Makes the Dashing Duo Quilt Pattern Stand Out?

One of the standout features of the Dashing Duo Quilt Pattern is its compatibility with pre-cut fabrics. Whether you like working with layer cakes, fat-quarters, or charm packs plus traditional yardage, the Dashing Duo Quilt Pattern provides flexibility in your fabric choices.

In addition to being pre-cut friendly, the Dashing Duo Quilt Pattern offers five size options ranging from Lap to King. Along with two different methods; Mix and Match, and Swapping.

Although, which method you make depends on your fabric selection and the difference between versions. For the mix and match method choose the layer cake or fat-quarter versions, and for the swapping method choose the charm pack plus yardage version.

How does the Mix and Match Method Work?

The mix and match method allow you to customize your quilt to suit your personal style and preferences. The possibilities are truly endless, giving you the freedom to unleash your creativity. Whether you are methodical with your placement or free will it by selecting randomly from a basket. Any options apply, the process should be enjoyable not stressful.

How does the Swapping Method Work?

The swapping method takes two yardage pieces, ideally contrasting colors that complement the fabric collection being used from the charm packs or 5” squares. Those two contrasting colors will then be swapped with one another while sewing to create a dynamically dashing appearance.

Why is it Pre-Cuts Friendly?

If you’re like me, you might love working with pre-cut fabrics. I often find myself collecting charm packs or layer cakes of collections I really like, but don’t have an idea or pattern in mind for. So, I purchase some pre-cuts before that collection isn’t available any longer.

Plus, pre-cuts save you time cutting and are so versatile! Which is just some of the reasons why I challenge myself to design a new pre-cut friendly quilt pattern each year.

Making the Dashing Duo Quilt Pattern a fabulous modern and stylish choice to use your stashed away layer cakes, fat-quarter, or charm packs. Allowing you to customize to suit your personal style and preferences. So gather your supplies, choose your fabrics, and get ready to create a beautiful quilt that you'll cherish for years to come!
