Love Code Quilt Pattern Available!

I am so excited to announce the the Love Code quilt pattern is available in my Etsy store!

Love Code!

Love Code uses background squares and half-square triangles to spell out "I love you" in binary code! (In the spirit of full disclosure, the quilt actually reads ILoveYou with no spaces between the letters!)


This quilt combines a sweet message and a secret code to make a modern quilt, what could be better than that! It is easy enough for a beginner but interesting enough for an advanced quilter. It can be made pretty fast, in case you need a last minute baby gift! (This pattern can totally be made by a beginner quilter, but I've said it's beginner friendly because I don't explain some of the finishing steps of making a quilt - this pattern does assume you have basic quilt knowledge.)


This pattern was originally published as the baby size in Make Modern Magazine (where it is still available here.)

I've expanded the pattern to include 5 sizes! It comes in mini, baby, small throw, large throw, and queen size. Here are the sizes and fabric requirements:


Although I had such a strong vision for this quilt in pink, I knew it would look great in pretty much any fabric combination. I made a version in blue too!

I made a small throw size without borders

My friend Elizabeth (instagram @sew.orcutt) tested the pattern for me and made this beautiful mini using a floral background - isn't it amazing! I love her fabric choices.

This pattern was based on a quilt I made that was shown at QuiltCon in 2019. It was made for the two color quilt challenge, and in that quilt I used binary code to write my favorite quote: let the beauty of what you love be what you do. I love the idea of binary code messages in quilts and so I made the Love Code quilt with the most important message of all, love. It's been a hard year, and I think we need all the love we can get right now!
