A bold, modern quilt design built with strip-pieced solids that come together to form a striking geometric layout. Formation is a speedy make with beautiful visual impact, perfect for quilters ready to stretch their skills just a bit while still enjoying an approachable construction process.
To achieve the designed effect, we recommend selecting dark, medium, and light tones within one color family (Fabrics A, B, and C), then adding one bright contrasting color (Fabric D—typically a warm tone) and a second contrasting color (Fabric E—often cool or neutral). The pattern walks you through our vision for Formation, but also encourages experimentation—half the fun is making it your own!
