Old Favorite

The classic two-color quilt appeals to all types of quilters.

Choosing Fabric: You can pick several different whites and off-whites. For the contrasting color, the classic two-color quilt uses red or blue. But you can use your favorite color. Choose one contrasting fabric or use a handful in the same colorway.

The number of 2 1/2" Strips: You need 5 strips of light and 3 of dark for the Baby, 15 of light and 7 of dark for the Throw, 30 of light and 15 of dark for the Full, 40 of light, and 19 of dark for the Queen. You can use fat quarters without additional piecing. One fat quarter or quarter yard cut will yield the equivalent of 3 strips.

Finished Size: Baby- 34 1/2" x 34 1/2". Throw- 60" x 60". Full- 85 1/2" x 85 1/2". Queen 85 1/2" x 111".
