Four by Eight – Easy Beginner Quilt Pattern

Simple rectangles, great fabrics and easy piecing make Four by Eight a wonderfully versatile quilt for beginners.

The design uses uncomplicated rectangular units arranged to create a lively, slightly staggered layout. It's an ideal pattern for showcasing a collection of coordinating prints, with contrasting fabrics adding rhythm and movement throughout the quilt.

Four by Eight is beginner friendly, with straightforward cutting and piecing, but there's plenty of scope for more experienced quilters to have fun with fabric and colour placement too.

Shown in three very different colourways, Four by Eight demonstrates just how much personality can come from your fabric choices. Make it fresh and contemporary, rich and traditional, playful and colourful – or create an entirely different look from fabrics in your own stash.
