Going My Way Quilt Pattern

The Going My Way Quilt Pattern by Cut Loose Press is a bold and playful design by Jean Ann Wright that creates a striking arrow-style layout using wonky log cabin blocks.
This quilt showcases the creative potential of the Creative Grids Wonky Log Cabin Trim Tool, producing blocks with dynamic angles and strong directional movement.
Each block begins as a traditional log cabin style unit, then is trimmed at a jaunty angle after each round is sewn.
Once rotated, the blocks naturally form arrows pointing to the right, creating a lively sense of motion across the quilt top.
The angled trimming method keeps construction accurate while delivering a modern, improvisational look.
This pattern works beautifully with a 40-pack of 21⁄2-inch precut strips, making it easy to mix colours and prints for a vibrant scrappy effect.
It is also an excellent stash-buster, allowing quilters to use leftover strips and small cuts to create a completely unique quilt every time.
Only 24 blocks are needed for the quilt centre, so the project comes together quickly while still offering strong visual impact.
The finished quilt is generous in size and perfect for lap quilts, throws, or gift quilts.
With its combination of simple construction and eye-catching results, Going My Way is ideal for quilters who enjoy ruler-guided techniques with a modern twist.
