Featured Fabric Collection

The pattern is specifically designed to showcase the Social Club fabric collection by Eric & Julie Comstock for Moda Fabrics (pattern number PS37090). The featured fabric line includes a Layer Cake precut pack (SKU 37090LC), which consists of 42 ten-inch squares and forms the foundation of the primary block construction. The dark background, border, and binding fabric is drawn from SKU 37094 21.

What Is Being Made

This pattern produces a single large quilt top constructed from a repeating glasses block design. The quilt layout arranges 24 light glasses blocks and 24 dark glasses blocks into rows, creating a balanced, graphic composition. Once the blocks are assembled and joined, a border is added on all four sides to frame the design and bring the quilt to its finished dimensions of 59½" x 76".

Cutting Instructions Overview

Precise cutting is central to this pattern's success. Key cuts include:

• From the Layer Cake squares: cut 48 rectangles measuring 4" x 9¾", which form the lens shapes of the glasses blocks
• From each of the four assorted background fabrics (buttercup, mint, chartreuse, and cherry): cut two 5⅜" x width-of-fabric strips, then sub-cut into twelve 5⅜" squares, each cut once on the diagonal to yield 24 half-square triangles per color
• Border strips are cut to 2½" x 72½" for the quilt sides and 2½" x 60" for the top and bottom

Techniques Used

This intermediate quilt pattern employs several classic quilting construction techniques:

• Half-square triangle construction – Squares are cut once on the diagonal to create precise triangular units that form the curved visual elements of the glasses block
• Precut Layer Cake integration – Working with 10" precut squares and sub-cutting them into specific rectangles streamlines the cutting process and ensures fabric coordination throughout the quilt
• Block assembly and row construction – Individual glasses blocks are arranged and sewn into rows, which are
