The design draws its playful name and spirit from the colorful, candy-toned fabrics used throughout, creating a vibrant patchwork of color that feels both modern and whimsical.

About the Design

The Slice of the Pie Quilt is a patchwork block quilt built from a lively assortment of printed and solid fabric squares. The layout combines multiple coordinating prints and solids arranged in a structured grid, allowing the varied colors and patterns to play off one another in a visually engaging way. Because the construction relies on straightforward square blocks, this pattern is well-suited to quilters who are just beginning their quilting journey, as well as those looking for a satisfying, quick-to-assemble project.

Techniques Used

• Patchwork piecing – The core technique involves cutting fabric into precise squares and sewing them together in a planned arrangement to form the quilt top.
• Straight-line piecing – Blocks are joined using simple straight seams, making this an accessible project for beginners learning to maintain consistent seam allowances.
• Quilt sandwiching and quilting – Once the top is assembled, it is layered with batting and backing fabric, then quilted. The sample shown was quilted by Pam Biswas.
• Binding – The quilt is finished with a traditional binding to enclose the raw edges and give the project a polished, professional look.

Fabrics Featured

The pattern showcases two signature Michael Miller Fabrics collections: Bake Shop and Main Street, both designed by Patty Sloniger. These collections feature a warm, nostalgic palette of candy-inspired and everyday hues. The specific fabric colorways used in the quilt include:

• PS7428 in Confection and Cinnamon
• PS7423 in Pastille, Twinkle, Jam, and Butterscotch
• PS7425 in Blueberry and Berry

These solids add clean pops of saturated color that complement and ground the printed fabrics beautifully.

The pattern uses two primary block sizes cut from the various fabrics:

• 8.5 inch × 8.5 inch squares – used for the majority of the printed and solid blocks throughout the quilt top
• 9.5 inch × 9.5 inch squares
