Introducing the Plus Plus Quilt Pattern




Originally released as an exclusive pattern for the Willowlark Quilt Shop booth at QuiltCon, I am so excited to finally make PLUS PLUS available to everyone!

This playful design is a fresh, modern twist on the classic plus sign quilt block with bold shapes, clean lines, and lots of opportunities to play with color and fabric combinations.

Why you’ll love Plus Plus:
  • Beginner friendly construction with minimal seams to match
  • Contains two sizes: Baby and Throw
  • Baby size is fat quarter friendly; throw size uses fat quarters or 7 prints of yardage

Willowlark's booth at QuiltCon. Quilts shown in the picture (l to r) are Scenic Waypoint, Raindrops, and Plus Plus.

Pattern Sale

Plus Plus is available now — and it’s on introductory sale for a limited time!


For a limited time, enjoy the introductory pattern price of $11.29, now through Friday, May 22nd (midnight ET). Plus, you can stack savings with these exclusive coupon codes:

About the Fabrics and Quilting

The throw sized cover quilt was made using the Best Day Ever Collection by Melody Miller for Ruby Star Society.

Delia (owner of Willowlark Quilt Company) did the amazing quilting on this quilt. The modern flower design is the perfect accent to the prints and fabric pieces.




Kits Available & Ruby Star Society Renderings

There are two quilt kits available for the Plus Plus (both kits include the pattern so no need to purchase the pattern separately).
  • Willowlark has kits to make the cover quilt using Best Day Ever by Ruby Star Society (RSS).
  • Connecting Threads has a version in their Bright Blooms collection.
I also have a number of renderings showing Plus Plus using other RSS collections. The quilt looks great when you have a good variety of colors and mixture of lights and darks.
