A free quilt pattern is always cause for celebration, and this time, we’re playing for keeps with the Backgammon Quilt! With 12 fat quarters, a background fabric, and plenty of pins, you can make your move on your next quilting project today.
The Backgammon Quilt Pattern
DOWNLOAD THE FREE BACKGAMMON QUILT PATTERN
The Backgammon Quilt is perfect for intermediate quilters, and it finishes at 62.5″ x 64.5″. We recommend picking up the Creative Grids Starburst 30-Degree Triangle Ruler, but we’ve also included a FREE template for you in the pattern. If you are already subscribed to one of our Fat Quarter Clubs, this quilt is the perfect stash buster. Grab one of your 12-piece Fat Quarter Bundles and a background fabric, and you’re ready to go!
If you pick up the Backgammon Quilt Kit and matching backing set, your Backgammon Quilt can even be just like ours.
Don’t let the plethora of points give you pre-game jitters! We have a FREE video tutorial that walks you through the whole process.
We sewed ours with Superbloom by Robin Pickens for Moda Fabrics to add a modern pop of color to this dazzling diamond pattern inspired by our favorite nostalgic game—we think it’s a real winning combo!
