A downloadable PDF quilt pattern by Exshaw Quilts for confident beginners who love traditional quilt blocks with a bold, modern layout.
This step-by-step quilting pattern walks you through making a throw or king-size quilt, with clear diagrams, cutting charts, and straightforward construction.
ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Linkin Quilt is a modern quilt pattern designed for quilters who enjoy classic block construction and a calm, repeatable sewing process. The graphic Swiss cross blocks create strong visual impact while remaining simple and satisfying to sew.
The instructions are written with confident beginners in mind—clear, practical, and easy to follow—so you can focus on sewing instead of second-guessing your steps. This pattern is ideal for a statement throw, a bold bed quilt, or slowing down with a large, intentional make.
