Golden Eye Quilt Pattern
Half Square Triangles and two primary color palettes do all the work for the Golden Eye Quilt Pattern.
The pattern uses the 8-at-a-time Half Square Triangle (HST) method to avoid bias and wonky triangles.
MATERIALS:
Choose from solids, blenders, and small print fabrics. You need two primary colors or color groups for this quilt, referred to as Color A and B. Each color or color group may be a single color of light to dark or different prints. They may also be a group of colors like all warm or all cool colors. The important consideration when choosing fabrics is that all Color A Fabrics contrast all Color B Fabrics. This is critical for helping the movement and shape of the quilt stand out. I consider this a “controlled improv” pattern because the exact color placements aren’t planned.
**There will be leftover fabric regardless of whether you use FQs or yardage due to needing 10 1/4” squares.
Color A: 14 Fat Quarters or ½ yard of 7 different fabrics or 27, 10 1/4” scraps.
Color B: 13 Fat Quarters or ½ yard of 7 different fabrics or 27, 10 1/4” scraps.
Backing: 3 yards
Binding: ½ yard
Batting: 56” x 64”, add 4” to each side for longarm.
