Coastal Currents Free Quilt Pattern by Stacey Day
Coastal Currents joins flying-geese rows, square-in-a-square units and larger print squares into twenty-four blocks arranged on point. Stacey Day designed this advanced-beginner quilt using Floral Reef and True Colors fabrics by Tula Pink. Four fabric groups organize the blocks, while carefully cut striped setting triangles continue the color changes around the edges. The quilt finishes at 68 inches square with twelve-inch blocks, and the material plan includes fat eighths alongside yardage for the larger pieces.
