Learn how to sew the Quadripoint Quilt—a bold, graphic pattern that’s easier to piece than it looks and perfect for showing off your favorite colors or prints.

This quilt comes together with four main blocks that meet in the center, creating a striking focal point that feels modern with a hint of classic charm. It’s a fun, fat-quarter-friendly project that works great for confident beginners or anyone who wants a satisfying sew without overthinking the layout.

This quilt is perfect for layer cakes! Whether you make your own layer cakes or purchase them from your favorite quilt shop – this will work!

There are no points in the quilt, making it super quick to sew up and finish in a weekend.

I have found that the fabric with big prints is perfect for this quilt, as it shows off those fun prints perfectly.

I’ve made this quilt block before – using some fun eye spy fabrics… but it was time to sew this block up again and make something new.

While I didn’t have layer cake squares, I simply cut my own. Follow the video to see how the process is – but it will be using a smaller piece than the layer cake.

If you are like any other quilter around here, you’ll probably have a layer cake or two sitting on your shelf. Time to dust it off and get using them!

The great thing about this way of making your blocks – you aren’t cutting up your wonderful large print patterns into tiny pieces. They are staying big and cute and wonderful! That’s the reason you bought the fabric in the first place, isn’t it? The large print, the cute colors… but finding the pattern that will work for that is sometimes not so easy.

Let’s get cutting those up into 10″ squares and playing around with pairing them up.

What is a Layer Cake?

A layer cake is a piece of fabric that is cut to the size of 10″ x 10″

They can come all together in a collection of the full fabric line, or they can be cut by yourself from the stash that you have on hand.

Either works – and they are the perfect size for layering together and cutting together. They can really make sewing a quilt quick and simple.

Materials Needed:

32 — 10″ X 10″ squares (layer cake or cut your own!)

How to Sew the Quilt Block video:

Quilt Instructions:

1- Lay 2 – 10” x 10” squares together, right sides facing
2- Sew all the way around the block 1/4” seam

3- Draw a line from corner to corner for both corner

3- Pinch only one fabric and pull apart from the other, snip a small hole in the center where the four drawn lines meet

4- Cut only the fabric with the drawn line on all the drawn lines

5- Open the four corners and press *notice that there will be NO perfect points

6- Square up block to 13”
*Repeat this process for a total of 16 blocks (or as many as you’d like for your quilt)

Quilt Top Assembly

1. Sew 4 of blocks 1 together – watch the if you have multiple blocks that are similar
2. Repeat for a total of 4 rows
3. Lay the rows out in correct order
4. Sew the rows together to complete the quilt top
5. Layer with backing and batting to finish

Finishing the Quilt

1. Cut or piece together your batting and a piece of quilt backing fabric.

2. Make a quilt sandwich with the backing, batting, and top.

3. Baste together with fusible batting, pins or basting spray.

3. Quilt as desired. A few of my favorite ways to quilt are Straight line quilting or cross hatch quilting. Use a walking foot on your sewing machine. Trim away the extra batting and backing.

4. Cut strips of fabric for the binding. Cut 2 1/2” tall (sometimes I use 2 1/4″) binding strips. Sew the binding strips together and bind using your favorite technique. 

Cutting your bias binding strips. Making your binding with a gadget– sewing strips together at an angle. Tackleing those corners on your binding.
