The Lowdown on the Free Swiss Cross Quilt Pattern
The Free Swiss Cross Quilt Pattern came about when I decided that I wanted to make some matching black and white quilts for my daughter’s twin beds. I wanted to be able to use the black and white prints I had on hand and I wanted to make them twin size, so the blocks needed to be large enough to piece together quickly. No itty bitty fabric pieces for this girl.
So I set about writing a free pattern for you that can easily be pieced with each block being a different prin or the whole quilt consisting of one color for the swiss cross blocks and one for the background.
The pattern is also pre-cut friendly and uses 5″ charm squares for most of the quilt, and can even be used instead of cutting a larger rectangle. You would use three white 5″ charm squares instead of one rectangle piece.
This quilt pattern is easy enough for a beginner quilter or someone who has never quilted before but can be mixed up and stylized enough for a serious quilter. Another great beginner quilt is the Easy Charm Square Quilt Pattern.
The baby size quilt can be sewn in an evening and the larger quilt sizes in a weekend. Read 13+ Free Baby Quilt Patterns or 50+ Cutest Baby Sewing Projects to find more inspiration.
I used a simple cross-hatch to quilt it, spacing it by making a diagonal line through each square, making the lines approximately 3.5 inches apart.
The baby size quilt finishes at 40″ x 49″, the throw size quilt at 54″ x 58″, and the twin size quilt at 67″ x 94″. You might also like the twin size scrap friendly version of the swiss cross quilt pattern.
