Plan
This is a very simple design that hap-
pens to create a lot of upward move-
ment thanks to the diagonal seams and
deliberate placement of the colors and
patterns. This effect is enhanced by us-
ing stripes cut on the lengthwise grain.
Use an accurate ¼ ̋ seam allowance
throughout to ensure all elements of the
quilt fi t together well.Designer Information
