Introduction to the Cozy Chains Quilt Pattern

Update: There's possibly an error in this pattern. Please hold off on making it until I determine the issue. Thanks much, and I'm sorry for the error.

Cozy Chains is a bed size patchwork quilt made from one type of block sewn in two colorways. Blocks are alternated side-to-side and up-and-down. Interior sections of the blocks, and small dark squares, are common to both color layouts, and flow diagonally across the quilt.

The quilt's units are rotary cut and strip pieced. If rotary cutting is new to you, be sure to read How to Rotary Cut Fabric Strips and other rotary cutting how-to articles on this Web site before you begin.
