Shift Quilt Pattern

A playful exploration of hexagons, color, and proportion! Shift is a modern quilt pattern that explores hexagons, color interaction, and proportion through a series of versatile block variations.

The pattern includes multiple approaches—from simple blocks to more complex hexagon variations, as well as ruler-free options—giving you plenty of room to experiment and find your own direction. Work with a planned palette or sew intuitively as you explore the relationship between color, value, and composition.
