Puzzle Quilt
Those of you that have followed me for awhile know I’m an avid Craftsy fan. In fact, I recently joined their unlimited program, which I highly recommend to those of you addicted to their videos, like myself. It’s allowed me to venture into other areas of interest such as cooking and photography without investing a fortune in more videos. But alas I digress…
While cruising the site I ran across a pattern called Puzzle that made use of Craftsy’s Boundless Cafe Spice Collage fabric. I was smitten. So, yep, I bought the pattern, and rather than buy the kit, I bought several of the fat quarter bundles while they were still in stock. Once I downloaded the pattern, I discovered it was a little more scrappy than I wanted. I wanted the links to be of the same fabric so that the pattern jumped out rather than get lost in the maze. After some brain strain, I discovered it was actually doable. With lots of little labels during the process and a design wall to keep me from messing it up, I began the journey, working a diagonal row at a time. I cut each fat quarter one at a time, assigned each block a location with numbers for columns and letters for rows, then labeled and set aside the pieces needed in subsequent blocks..yes I spent a lot of time biting my tongue in concentration, but it was worth it.
Now it’s waiting patiently in the to-be-quilted queue…more to follow on this one.

Hi.. I’m looking for this puzzle quilt.. but now it’s not available today it from craftsy/bluprint. Please can I purchase it from you if you don’t mind?
I do not own the pattern copyright. Here’s what I discovered via Google:
The Interlocking Puzzle Quilt pattern featured on Craftsy’s The Midnight Quilt Show was designed by Monique Dillard.
The copyright for the pattern layout and text belongs to Craftsy (and its parent company, TN Marketing).
Monique Dillard is a well-known quilt designer and author (founder of Open Gate Quilts) who was hired by Craftsy to design the pattern specifically for their exclusive Boundless fabric brand launch. Because it was commissioned and sold directly as a Craftsy proprietary product, Craftsy retains the publication and commercial copyright ownership.
It is worth noting that while the specific instructions, written pattern, and layout schematic are fully copyrighted by Craftsy, the underlying structural blocks used to build the interlocking layout are traditional geometric elements. In quilting, traditional blocks are considered public domain, meaning anyone is legally free to reverse-engineer the block concepts or use them to draft their own unique puzzle.
That’s basically what I did here. I used their fabric and block instructions but altered the layout positions myself the make the links less scrappy. Frankly, it was quite a bit of work and I’m not interested in ever doing it again.
Even so, I cannot sell the pattern to anyone. I don’t have the right. You might try contacting Monique Dillard or Craftsy to see if they would grant you access to the pattern.
