Call & Compass

Inspired by the nostalgia of summer camp and the spirit of adventure, Call & Compass is a fresh, contemporary quilt pattern that points you in the right direction—whether you're a confident beginner or an experienced quilter looking for a satisfying, stylish make.

This block-based pattern combines bold directional movement with the ease of half-square triangles (HSTs), using simple 2-at-a-time and 8-at-a-time methods. You’ll love how flexible it is: use yardage for a cohesive look, start with 10" precuts to save time, or dig into your stash of 5" squares for a scrappy finish.

Each block combines one large HST with three sets of four smaller HSTs, offering just enough structure for creative play. Leftover fabric from the throw-size version makes a beautifully coordinated scrappy binding.

Finished size: Throw (64" x 80")

Techniques: 2-at-a-time and 8-at-a-time HSTs, block-based assembly

Fabric Options: Yardage, 10" squares, or 5" squares

Skill Level: Confident Beginner

Call and Compass is a skill-building, meditative project with striking results whether you're using yardage or scraps. Share your make with #callandcompassquilt and tag @sonderquiltstudio. I can’t wait to see where your compass leads you!
