The Beginners Quilt: Country Crossroads
a simple and approachable design for all skill levels!
Sashed rows make this a really quick & easy make!
This beginner-friendly quilt pattern is a total dream, whether you’re just getting into quilting or you’re an old pro in need of a quick project.
Country Crossroads is traditionally pieced and like all of our quilt patterns it includes step-by-step instructions, easy-to-follow graphics, and even pressing directions (because we all know pressing can make or break a quilt!). Seriously, this pattern is super approachable.
The best parts? Strip piecing! It’s a total time-saver and makes this quilt come together in no time. Plus a borderless design that gives the quilt a modern, clean look while still keeping a cozy, traditional vibe.
You can use yardage or raid your scrap bin – it’s super flexible like that.
So, whether you’re just starting out or need a fast finish to feel productive (we’ve all been there), Country Crossroads has got you covered. Grab your fabric, thread up your machine, and get ready for some fun quilting!
