Step back into quilt history with the Antique Tile Quilt, a striking design that first appeared in a 1938 newspaper column by Nancy Cabot, one of the most popular quilt pattern writers of the early 20th century. Inspired by the geometric beauty of decorative tiles, this block creates a bold repeating design that looks intricate but is surprisingly straightforward to piece. In this class, students will learn how to construct Antique Tile blocks using a 10" layer cake and background fabric, making the project both convenient and visually stunning. Students will piece several blocks during class while learning techniques for accurate cutting, consistent seam allowances, and thoughtful fabric placement. The design works beautifully with curated fabric collections, allowing prints and color to shine within the bold geometric layout. Blending vintage charm with modern ease, this quilt is a joy to make from start to finish. Finished size: 50" x 80".
