Subduction

Description

This pattern is inspired by geology, where shifting layers of the earth create dramatic uplifts over time. The diagonal lines echo those layers for a bold, eye-catching quilt.

With careful piecing and alignment, this intermediate pattern is a satisfying sew that really shows off the fabric.

Finished Size: 61” x 85”

Skill Level: Intermediate

Introduction: Subduction is when one tectonic plate slides under another. The blocks of this look like one block is sliding under another.
