Why We Like It

Designed by Lindsey of Pen and Paper Patterns, the Be Mine Quilt is simple and charming. It's a block-based design, with X's and hearts (as in kisses and hugs!) It's perfect for someone needing some extra love. Simple conventional piecing make this a great beginner pattern.

Analogous

Here's some more analogous versions, but instead of using six 1-yard cuts, use 25 fat quarters. Choose 8 fat quarters from 3 of our Monochrome 9 fat quarter bundles plus 1 FQ of white (these left out the darkest FQ of each of the 3 bundles). You'll have a block or two leftover for another project.

Scrappy

Curious to see what a scrappy version would look like? We were, too. Here's what you can get if you use 25 fat quarters: 2 values of each of the 12 colors in the CMY color wheel, plus 1 FQ of black. It's easy with 2 of our Rainbow 12 fat quarter bundles.
