Prickly Pear Quilt Pattern

Prickly Pear by Georgette Dell'Orco is part of the Cozy Strip Club series and is designed specifically for 2-1/2in strips.
The pattern features a simple strip-based block set on point, creating strong diagonal movement across the quilt.
Subtle setting triangle details extend into the blocks, forming a secondary diamond effect that adds structure and visual interest.
A bold background paired with a softer accent fabric enhances the overall contrast while allowing strip fabrics to stand out.
