If you wonder where the name for this quilt came from; my sister turned forty and loves chevron. Two weeks before her birthday I came up with the idea to add a quilt to her other birthday present. My first idea was to design a simple black and white colour scheme. As this turned out to become to basic I added some grey. This lightened the design but it still needed something extra so I added a row of light blue. Together with the different designs of the fabrics it creates a friendly fresh modern quilt.
There are several ways you can make chevron quilts. Because I had only two weeks to complete the whole quilt, and making half square triangles is a bit more time consuming, I made this quilt with rectangles. In my opinion the fabric designs I choose also works better with the rectangle technique, as does the minimalistic colour choice.
So all in all I’m very pleased with the result and my sister is very happy with the quilt. And so are her pets (two cats and a dog). Although they are not allowed to, they keep on sneaking on the sofa to lay on the quilt. Wow, how’s that for a compliment huh!

I am making the chevron quilt and just cannot find a good fabric that equates to the charcoal with white stars. Can you possibly point me in the right direction? Thanks so much:)
Hi Ann,
That’s a tricky question, as I live in The Netherlands I probably use different suppliers than you would.
I had the charcoal star fabric for a while so I’m not sure where I got it from (I use different sources for my fabric purchase). It might have come from this website: https://www.onlinestoffen.nl/stoffen/bedrukte-katoen/sterren/ but as I mentioned before this is a Dutch website so I’m not sure if it’s of any use for you.
Have you looked on Etsy? Maybe this is a good alternative: https://www.etsy.com/listing/191984454/star-print-fabric-grey?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=grey%20stars%20fabric&ref=sr_gallery-1-39
Good luck and lots of fun sewing!
Kind wishes,
Stacey
Hi Stacey,
My granddaughter has chosen your chevron quilt. I have gathered mist of the fabrics I’ll use, but would love to know the size quilt you made and the size of rectangles. I’m hoping to make hers about 75×90. And would like the same number of color rows as your quilt. If you have since written a pattern for this quilt, I’d love to buy it!
Thanks
Mel
