Pins in the Carpet

If you love a little chaos in your quilting, this one’s for you.

Pins in the Carpet is a throw-size quilt pattern that blends structured Half-Square Triangles with a touch of randomness, creating a flowing, color-shifting design that feels both intentional and delightfully unpredictable. No two quilts come out exactly the same—and that’s kind of the magic.

This 10-page PDF pattern walks you through the full process, from building your ombre palette to assembling the quilt top in a way that lets the colors move naturally across the design. It’s a satisfying make that keeps things interesting from start to finish.

Details:

• Digital PDF pattern (10 pages)

• Throw-size finished quilt

• Uses Half-Square Triangles

• Skill level: Confident beginner and up

Fair warning: if you need everything perfectly planned and symmetrical… this might test you a little. But if you enjoy letting go and seeing where the fabric takes you, you’re going to have a lot of fun with this one.
