A Modern Quilt Pattern Designed for Colour Exploration and Creative Play
What happens when bold geometric shapes meet endless colour possibilities?
The Flight Plan Quilt Pattern is a modern quilt design that encourages experimentation, creativity, and confidence through fabric selection and colour placement.
Built around simple triangle-based blocks, Flight Plan creates a striking sense of movement across the quilt top. Depending on your fabric choices, the design can feel energetic and playful, calm and sophisticated, or anything in between.
Whether you're diving into your scrap bins, pulling from a favourite fat quarter bundle, or building a palette inspired by something you love, Flight Plan offers the perfect opportunity to create a quilt that's uniquely your own.
