Discover the Charm of the Speedwell Quilt by Nicola Dodd
Hello, fellow quilters! Today, you're in for a treat if you're searching for a fun and simple project that's also a show-stopper. I'm so excited to introduce you to this very beautiful pattern that was created by the VERY talented Moda favorite, Nicola Dodd from CakeStand Quilts for the wonderful Moda Bake Shop.

So what is so special about the Speedwell Quilt? First, it is 100% Layer Cake safe! For all of those who have an old bundle of 10" pre-cut squares in need of a project, this is it. Nicola's design is genius for how it was cleverly built but simply. The design is entirely created with only two beautifully repeated blocks: one is a pieced center block and the other is a corresponding border block.

The pattern is designed to work up much faster than its complexity indicates with its "snowball" corners creating eye-catching, graphic star punches against a crisp neutral background. Perfect for self-confident sewers and experienced sewists alike, this is a make that's both satisfying and fun.

Final Thought
I think the Speedwell Quilt is a terrific reminder that it doesn't have to be complicated to make a masterpiece quilt. So, put down your cutting board, pick up your favorite Layer Cake and let simple geometry do the heavy lifting! Happy quilting!
