I am really thrilled to release the PDF pattern for the Perspective Quilt (better known as the Quilt for Zoe) today! The pattern has instructions to create the quilt in three sizes: baby (42″ x 52″), lap (63″ x 78″), and queen (84″ x 104″).
Perspective is an exploration of an off-grid, modern quilt design that uses transparency to create depth in overlapping shapes. There are planning tools within the pattern to help you track your fabric selections (or details for you to re-create the fabric selections I made).
Note that there are a lot of different fabrics and pieces in this pattern and the key to successfully making the pattern is in keeping all of the fabrics and pieces organized throughout the construction of the quilt. The piecing itself is not hard but it does require attention; I needed to pull out my seam ripper on multiple occasions because I didn’t follow my own construction plan when I made the Quilt for Zoe.

Therefore, included in the pattern are a few tips for fabric piece organization as well as a coloring page to help you plan your quilt design and perhaps even audition quilting motifs. There is ample room to play with some fun quilting in the negative space. Straight line quilting to enhance and echo the pieced shapes would work beautifully, too.

Many thanks to Cheryl from Meadow Mist Designs for her careful editorial review of the pattern and excellent suggestions to make this pattern more robust.

The Perspective digital quilt pattern is now available in my pattern shop.
I cannot believe how quickly you put this quilt together! From conception to pattern…holy cow! It turned out amazing and I’m in awe of your skills as a design. This quilt is beautiful and unique…lucky, lucky Zoe!
Beautiful quilt and pattern, congrats!!
A stunning design, and with the shadow on the grass, a superb photo shoot too.
This is such an interesting design. I think it would be fun to play with using just all one color (well not including the background) or maybe two primary colors. Congrats on this release! You were designing at the speed of light again 🙂
This is a fabulous union of design and just the right colors! I love it!
The quilt design and colours you chose look great Yvonne. So speedy with the pattern – very impressed (and jealous too). Happy anniversary!
You are speedy! I love this quilt and am fascinated by the pattern and so intrigued by how it all works. May have to go on my list for the right person!!!
Congrats on the new pattern release.
Fabulous quilt! I love all the geometric shapes.
Wow, this one came together fast! Congrats on its finish and pattern release!
Another great pattern. That was a quick turnaround.
Lucky baby. That is so striking.
Absolutely love this pattern, and have it on my “to buy” list for sure.
