Modern Plus Quilt Pattern for Beginners – Plus Charmed

Today I’m sharing a charm and layer cake friendly quilt! This Plus Charmed quilt was sewn up using layer cake squares from the Ruby Star Society Picture book fabric line.

Plus Charmed is a fun and modern Plus quilt that is fairly simple to sew up. I’ve made quite a few of these quilts but this is the first one with a pretty print background. I used the more recently released Picture Book fabric by Ruby Star Society for this quilt.

This modern plus quilt pattern is designed with pre-cuts in mind, making it charm pack friendly, layer cake friendly, and fat quarter friendly. Whether you love working with pre-cuts or prefer to shop your stash, Plus Charmed makes it easy to create a fresh and modern quilt.

The Plus Charmed quilt pattern is available in the Quilty Love pattern shop.

Precut-Friendly and Scrap-Friendly

This versatile design works beautifully with charm squares, layer cake squares, or fat quarters. You can keep it coordinated with a single fabric collection, or go scrappy for a playful and colorful look like this one. The strip piecing method and oversized blocks help the quilt come together quickly making it a satisfying project even if you don’t have a lot of time to sew.

Four Quilt Sizes Included

The Plus Charmed pattern includes instructions for four different quilt sizes so you can make just the quilt you need:

  • Baby quilt
  • Square throw quilt
  • Large throw quilt (shown here)
  • Queen/King quilt

Beginner-Friendly Construction

This pattern is written for the ambitious beginner. With chain piecing, strip piecing, and big block construction, assembly is quick and approachable. As with all Quilty Love patterns, you’ll find easy-to-read instructions, detailed cutting guides, and plenty of diagrams to support visual learners every step of the way.
