About Patch and Dot

Patch and Dot is a quilting and crafting blog. Posts are mostly quilting tutorials and round ups of the best patterns and quilting classes that I've tried on my quilting journey. You'll also find quilt-along news, swaps, and pattern reviews, with a focus on simple, modern quilt projects (bonus points if there are hearts and rainbows involved). Visit the Patch and Dot shop for modern baby quilt and mini quilt patterns.

This is my favourite way to quilt small projects at home: quadrants of nested triangles. It looks modern and the lines are short enough to be a little forgiving for those of us who are somewhat straight line challenged. #popblocksquilt #quiltsofinstagram #babyquilt #modernquilt #freequiltpattern

Pop Blocks measures 40” x 40” so that gives you an idea of the scale of these rocks (which I would say were about twice as tall as you can see in the picture). #popblocksquilt #novascotia #quiltsofinstagram #quiltsofinsta #modernquilt #freequiltpattern

I used some treasured fabrics in this one. From left to right:
- a geometric floral by Elizabeth Olwen
- some orange Meadow by Leah Duncan
- Michael Miller neon yellow
- Elizabeth Olwen again
- The Lovely Hunt Fairy Rings in peach by Lizzy House
- sweet old fashioned ditsy print, not sure of the name
- Kitchen Window wovens by Elizabeth Hartman for Robert Kaufman
- more neon 💕

Sugarcubes large throw top is done! This one is 72” x 72”. The pattern also includes a proper queen size as well, but this size covers our bed pretty nicely. #sugarcubesquilt #rubystarsociety #quiltsofinstagram

My two favourite quilt books: Handmade Getaway (which you can get at @_theworkroom) by Jacqueline Sava and Karyn Valino, and Walk by Jacquie Gering. The former is probably the most beautifully put together quilt book you’re ever going to find, and the latter has helped me get so much more of my beloved little Bernina. #igquiltfest2023 #quiltbooks #quilting

So Sugarcubes as-it-is-written calls for two different values of the same colour in a single block ... but the truth is it looks good with two different colours as well. (Even here though I like to keep the darker tones to the corners, and a lighter tone for the pieces that run diagonally across the middle. #sugarcubesquilt #rubystarsociety #modernquiltblocks

Sugarcubes is perfect for mixing and matching! Here’s where it starts to get fun. You can see that I mixed in some prints from other collections, in addition to Smol. I started cutting with certain pairings in mind, but at this stage it’s another opportunity to change things up once you start to see how the pieces are working together at this scale.

Sugarcubes relies on fabrics from the same colour

Sugarcubes relies on fabrics from the same colour family, in differing values, to achieve its effect. These variations in volume, used in the same parts of each block across the quilt, create some motion and an almost glowy, sparkly look (imho). #sugarcubesquilt #modernquiltpattern #rubystarsociety

What I like to do for my Sugarcubes pulls is start

What I like to do for my Sugarcubes pulls is start with a single fat quarter bundle (Smol by Kimberly Kight of Ruby Star Society for this one), then pull out any prints that aren’t part of my colour scheme (in this case, some reds). Next I'll mix in some prints from previous collections. 💕 #rubystarsociety #sugarcubesquilt #modernquiltpattern
