Nine Carat Quilt Pattern

The Nine Carat Quilt Pattern is a beautiful example of how simple units can create stunning results.
Using just ten fat quarters and a favourite background fabric, this quilt comes together more easily than you might expect — yet delivers impressive visual impact.
The process begins by piecing large nine-patch blocks.
The magic happens when those blocks are sub-cut and sewn back together in a new configuration, creating movement, depth, and a design that feels both modern and timeless.
It’s a wonderfully satisfying technique that looks complex without being complicated.
Instructions are written for an oversized throw, finished at 58in x 72in, but the design is wonderfully flexible.
You can easily add or delete blocks to create the quilt size of your dreams, making this pattern adaptable to many needs and spaces.
Along the way, you may even discover a new favourite technique to add to your quilting toolbox.
For accurate cutting and smooth construction, the pattern recommends using the Creative Grids CGR24 or CGR24LEFT.
