Prism Quilt Pattern

A dazzling all-over geometric quilt pattern from Laundry Basket Quilts — Prism creates a mesmerising kaleidoscope of interlocking pinwheel blocks and hexagon centres that seems to shift and sparkle as you look at it. A scrappy showstopper that makes the most of a varied fabric collection.

The Prism design is one of those patterns where the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts — each block is a crisp pinwheel/kaleidoscope unit with a hexagon centre, but when set together across the quilt top they create an extraordinary interlocking geometric effect that draws the eye in every direction. It suits modern, contemporary, and cottage interiors beautifully, and makes a generous and impressive bed quilt or throw.

This is an intermediate-level pieced pattern, ideal for quilters who are comfortable with accurate triangle piecing and enjoy a project with real visual complexity. It’s a wonderful scrappy quilt — the more varied your fabric selection, the more the kaleidoscope effect comes alive. The palette shown — dusty pinks, teal blues, deep navy florals, and warm creams — is a classic LBQ combination that works beautifully with any coordinated collection. Pattern format: Printed. SKU: LBQ-1784-P.

Prism is one of those patterns that looks incredibly complex but is built from a single repeating block — once you’ve made a few, the rhythm takes over and it grows quickly. The key is variety in your fabrics: the more prints you use, the more the kaleidoscope effect comes alive. Get in touch if you’d like help choosing a collection to work with this pattern.
