Next up in our journey of classic and vintage quilting, we’re excited to share the Contrary Husband Quilt. While we don’t know why this block is called Contrary Husband, we do know it’s the perfect block to demonstrate partial seams, also called Y-seams. Join us as we delve into the details of this pattern and the free quilt block video tutorial!

The Contrary Husband Quilt Pattern is our take on this classic design. This quilt pattern comes in four sizes: Tablerunner, Lap, Twin, and Queen. It’s a great choice for confident beginners, and there’s a Contrary Husband Quilt Kit and Backing Set to make the lap size, just like ours!
For the Contrary Husband Quilt we chose to sew in the Shoreline collection by Camille Roskelley for Moda Fabrics. This fabric selection combines fantastic geometric designs and florals with stunning shades of blues and greens. It came out as fabulous as we hoped it would!
