Swap Meet Quilt Pattern — PDF

$14.00

The Best Ideas Come From Constraints.

The Swap Meet quilt pattern starts with a simple 4-patch block, adds sashing for structure, then swaps the trimmed edges between blocks to create combinations you never would have planned. The result looks deliberate and complex — and nobody needs to know how approachable it actually was to make.

Pattern Overview

Swap Meet was created with charm packs in mind, but works just as beautifully with fat quarters, yardage, or a deep dive into your scrap bin. Fabric choices can be as random or as planned as you like — split warm and cool colors into alternating corners like the sample, or mix everything freely and let the swap do the work.
