Swiss Kiss Quilt Pattern

IMG_3508

I have been in love with Swiss Cross quilts for years!  My husband’s ancestry is almost all from Switzerland and we can trace some of his Swiss family lines back to the 1300’s-1400’s!  So exciting!  I have never been to Switzerland but felt I owed it to our family name to make this quilt!  When designing this quilt I knew I wanted a heart to play an important role in the quilt because after all families exist because of love!  I am so thrilled at how it turned out!  DSC_0804

The finished quilt measures 72″ x 81″ which is a lovely size for a throw or to put at the end of the bed.  I actually think I will hang this quilt once it’s quilted!  The quilt is entirely made up of scraps – which I also love – kind of symbolic families – so many people and personalities through the years – all pieced together into one quilt or family!

You can purchase the pattern in my Etsy shop for instant download by clicking HERE.

This would be fun to make with a friend – you can put your scraps together for even more variety!

I was worried about some of my “low volume” choices because they had color in them.  When the quilt is all put together they just kind of fade into the background!  It’s like magic!

    I love your Swiss Kiss quilt! it really caught my attention. I thought I’d like to make one for my son an his family in remembrance of their semester in Switzerland. However, I’ve just realized that you’ve reversed the colors in your quilt from those in the Swiss flag! Could you explain this. Have you had any feedback from actual Swiss quilters. Thank you very much!
