Archie Quilt - Printed Paper Pattern

The Archie Quilt Pattern by Penelope Handmade is a bold, modern take on two classic quilt blocks, combining the timeless Bear Paw with a striking chain block for a design that feels both graphic and playful.

This pattern is all about versatility. You can mix and match fabrics for a scrappy, high-contrast look, or keep your Bear Paw blocks consistent for a more structured, cohesive design. There are also instructions included for a two-color version, giving you even more ways to make this quilt your own.

Archie is fat quarter friendly, making it a great choice for working through your stash or showcasing a favorite bundle. The layout creates beautiful movement across the quilt top, while the block construction keeps things approachable and satisfying to sew.
