Welcome to week 2 of the Voyage Quilt Sew Along, quilt pals! Last week, we talked about choosing fabric for the Voyage quilt and I gave you tips for both the multi-color and two-color versions of Voyage. This week, I’ve got tips for both versions as well, but we are talking all about cutting!

Welcome! Welcome to the start of another fantastic sew along! The Voyage quilt pattern is great for beginners because it only uses two different pieced blocks rotated and repeated to form a dynamic design. Trust me when I say this quilt looks much more complicated than it actually is.
The Voyage quilt pattern is here! This quirky, beginner-friendly pattern is now available as a digital download. The pattern includes fabric requirements and instructions for both a multi-colored version (which is fat-quarter friendly in the throw and baby sizes) and a two-color version.
