Last fall, I told you about a quilt kit I’d ordered. (That post is here.) The pattern is called Escher and the kit came with Kaffe Fassett fabrics to piece the top. I pieced it in December and here’s what it looks like:
It’s much MUCH more vivid in real life.
This pattern was pretty easy to sew and the instructions were clear. I enjoyed putting it together. There was extra of every colour, so when I made a mistake in the final piecing (I cut a block that I shouldn’t have) I had enough to remake that block. The black was used for the little triangles at the center of each block: I cut up what I had left to make the widest black border possible. It’s not very wide but I like how it frames the bright colours. The top is about 62″ by 64″. I tried a couple of borders but thought they made it too busy, so it will be a bit of a small finished piece.
Mr. Math loves the finished top, but it’s a bit too wild for me. I think I might do this again, with solids or with a more restricted palette. This will be the first top that I take to be quilted on a long-arm machine, and I’m curious to see how that works out.
What do you think?

Where can I find just the pattern and not the kit?
I think they only sell it as a kit, Lee. That’s how I bought mine.
I’m also looking for the pattern and would be willing to buy a used one.
The only way to get the pattern, as far as I know, is to buy the kit. Good luck! It is a fun quilt design.
Hi, hope you will excuse me butting in from Aussie, I’ve just come across you, possibly because I’ve been obsessing over ‘The Escher’. I also wanted just the pattern and finally found it a few days ago on Etsy.
Looking forward to doing it, Good Luck. Chris P.
Good luck with your Escher!
It was a fun project to piece. I meant to do another one with my own fabric choices but haven’t gotten to it yet. This one isn’t even quilted – I prefer to handquilt, so my tops are always ahead of my finished quilts.
Send me a link when you’ve got your top pieced. I’d love to see the colours you’ve chosen!
The pattern is all over the internet. You just have to Google it. You can also look it up as Inner City since they look like and you might have an easier time finding it. There is also a You Tube on how to do it as well.

Any video tutorials? It’s a little tricky.
There might be. I just followed the directions. Be sure your cuts are accurate so it lines up well.
