Crossed Paws Quilt Pattern by Modern Textiles

About this Pattern: Crossed Paws is a fat quarter–friendly, modern quilt pattern designed for quilters ready to level up their skills. This intermediate quilt pattern uses clean lines, bold blocks, and thoughtful color placement to create a striking quilt with maximum visual impact. Whether you’re making a baby quilt or a bed size quilt, Crossed Paws is a versatile pattern that looks stunning in solids or a curated palette.

The Crossed Paws quilt pattern was inspired by a love of graphic design and the illusion of structure within quilt blocks. The Flying Geese layout creates the look of sashing and movement built directly into the block, eliminating the need for separate borders while still delivering a polished, modern finish. Repeating the blocks results in a cohesive design that feels bold, intentional, and timeless.
