3 designs- 1 pattern!
This quilt pattern is designed to be a visual illustration of that growth trajectory—will this year’s evolution be directed outward, inward, or toward consistency? The 3 quilt versions utilize the same base block with alternating rotations to create 3 contrasting designs. As a quilter, you choose the arrangement that resonates with your vision for this year. Is it Outbound—with the ambition of external accomplishments? Inbound—a goal of internal growth? or Homebound— focused intention toward maintaining past progress and developing contentment? The best part is, there’s no wrong answer!
Because of its simplicity, the Miss Direction Quilt pattern is very beginner friendly. The half-square-triangles (HSTs) are large and easy to piece, visual diagrams are included for each step of assembly, a coloring page is provided, as well as a glossary of quilting terms. The pattern offers 3 sizing options—Baby, Throw, and Queen—with equivalent fabric requirements for each version. There are 3 colorways utilized in the original designs from which to pull inspiration; if you love the colors of Homebound, but prefer the arrangement of Inbound, the fabric requirements are interchangeable.
Outbound- Kit available at Lamb and Loom Fabrics
Speaking of fabric requirements and colorways: the yardage requirements are listed below and we have 3 lovely fabric shops offering kits to coordinate with versions pictured.
Outbound: This fabric pull was a bit outside my comfort zone, but turned out to be a high risk—high reward scenario. Appropriate for the version that it was used in! It includes 3 busy prints and only 1 solid, but somehow as the fabric came together it created the most calming combination. If you need a last minute baby quilt, these florals feel soft and feminine without overwhelming the design. Linli at Lamb and Loom Fabrics has all 4 fabrics in stock, and kits available for the Throw size version of all 3 designs.
