The Havenwood Quilt Pattern is a fantastic beginner-friendly project that delivers modern style with simple, satisfying construction. Designed to make the most of your fabric, this quilt uses just about every inch, making it both efficient and enjoyable to sew. All you need are forty 21⁄2-inch strips — either from a jelly roll or cut from your own stash — plus a background fabric, and you’re ready to begin. The blocks are straightforward to assemble, and by simply turning every other block, the quilt takes on a fresh, modern off-set look that gives Havenwood its distinctive style. Finished at 56in x 64in, this quilt is a generous throw size that’s perfect for everyday use, gifting, or as a first “big quilt” project. It’s approachable, forgiving, and very rewarding — ideal for building confidence while still creating a polished, contemporary quilt.
