Pool Party Quilt Pattern by Krista Moser

The Pool Party Quilt Pattern, designed by Krista Moser, is a lively, modern quilt that comes together quickly using simple strip piecing and clever sub-cutting.
With bold shapes and strong movement, this design is perfect for showcasing colour combinations that really pop.
All you need are twenty 21⁄2-inch strips plus a background fabric to create this cheerful throw-size quilt.
It’s an ideal project for beachy palettes, picnic quilts, or even a festive red, white, and blue version to take along to fireworks displays and summer celebrations.
Finished at 51in x 52in, Pool Party makes a versatile lap or throw quilt.
Krista made this quilt using the Creative Grids 60 Degree Diamond Mini Ruler (CGR60DIAMINI), though the original CGR60DIA can also be used if preferred — it simply involves handling a bit more acrylic.
This pattern is well suited to confident beginners and experienced quilters alike, especially those who enjoy fast projects with striking geometric results.
