The Parquet Party Quilt comes together in a snap with its two 16" block layouts. It’s a mesmerizing design that combines the classic charm of quarter cabin block construction with a modern twist! The big blocks are quick to make and arranged to create a fun optical illusion of layered squares. To my eye, the multi-colored version looks a little more psychedelic, while the two-tone really highlights the underlying optical illusion…but perhaps that’s just my eyes playing tricks on me!

Inspired by the classic conversation hearts candy, the Text Heart Quilt Block Pattern, is perfect to make your own box of candies in throw quilt form as an extra-special-low-sugar gift with a whole lot of heart! 

Pick up a copy of the pattern and head on over to my blog to learn how to turn this quilt block into a Throw Size quilt.

This quilt is a case study sample from my book, Quilt Your Own Adventure, and is a pre-designed pattern to give you an inspirational jump start. In this design-it-yourself quilt book, the quilter is in the driver's seat, empowering you to decide what size, layout, and combinations of blocks you want to use to create your own one-of-a-kind quilt.
