| Mad as a Hatter Quilt |
Hello fellow quilters! If you want to do a project that goes against the grain and is super fun to piece, then you're in the right place. I'm so excited to introduce you to an amazing modern quilt design by MESSYGOAT's own Elaine Wick Poplin, Mad as a Hatter Quilt.
What began as a popular online tutorial became a full-fledged, essential pattern which beautifully works with geometry. High contrast and dramatic visual impact are the key features of this design. The real beauty here is in its ingenious design – although the blocks are definitely not symmetrical, the pattern allows you to utilize foundation paper piecing methods. This assures your seams will line up perfectly when the blocks are joined, which means that quilters of all skill levels can achieve that beautifully quirky checkerboard look!
If you're looking to unleash some vibrant hues or add a dash of drama with solids, this pattern is a fantastic choice for contrasting fabrics. It has cutting instructions for several sizes, so you can easily make a wall hanging and a bed quilt at a larger size.
While some of the exterior arrangements may seem daunting, Elaine's easy, sequential instructions make this contemporary masterpiece surprisingly accessible. Get your brightest contrast prints and sew up some beautiful clothes!
