The Simple Bricks quilt pattern from A Bright Corner is a practical choice if you’re looking for a project that comes together fast without much fuss. Because it uses basic rectangles, there aren’t any tricky seams to align or complex points to match up. It’s a fat quarter-friendly design that uses just 11 fabric pieces and a bit of background yardage to create a generous 63″ x 72″ finished quilt.
To get started, you’ll cut each fat quarter into ten strips to create the “brick” layout. The versatility of the pattern is one of its best features. The original uses a mix of rich berry, navy, and mustard for a great unisex or masculine look. However, you can easily swap those out for any color palette. It’s a straightforward, satisfying sew that works well for a quick weekend project or a last-minute gift that still feels thoughtful and well-made.
