All the Good Quilt Along
How to Lay Out the All the Good Quilt Pattern
Some quilts surprise you — not because they're complicated, but because they land so clearly with people.
This All the Good Quilt made with Bundle No. 24 was my most popular finish of 2025, and it's easy to see why. Bold color flow, graphic structure, and satisfying piecing — it's a quilt that feels confident, modern, and deeply approachable all at once.
If you have the pattern in hand and you're ready to tackle the layout, this video is for you.
Watch: How to Lay Out the All the Good Quilt Pattern
In this video I walk through the layout process — talking through my decisions, my color thinking, and the moments where most quilters tend to second-guess themselves. This is the kind of video where you'll want to pause, pull out your blocks, and play along.
You'll need the All the Good Quilt Pattern to follow along. The video is a companion to the pattern, not a replacement for it.
A Few Layout Tips Before You Press Play
Here are some things worth keeping in mind as you watch — and as you work through your own layout:
Start with your nucleus. Don't try to fill the whole quilt at once. The pattern walks you through starting from a single focal point and building outward. Trust that process. It works.
Value matters more than color. The reason this quilt reads so clearly — even with lots of colors — is because the light-to-dark transitions are intentional. Before you start placing blocks, sort by value first. You'll thank yourself later.
Solids are your friend. Bundle No. 24 is made entirely from Art Gallery Fabrics Pure Solids, and it's a perfect example of how solids let the structure of the pattern shine. No prints competing for attention — just color, contrast, and clarity.
Move blocks. A lot. Layout is not a one-and-done step. When I lay out a quilt, I often shift things around more than once. That's not indecision — that's good design. Adjusting and moving blocks is part of the process.
The binding is part of the design. This version is finished with a Moda Essentials Black and White Stripe binding. It frames the color work without competing with it. Don't underestimate what the right binding can do for a bold quilt.

This curated Bundle by Mitzie Schafer from Jittery Wings Quilt Co. is only available here. It works for most of her controlled improv patterns, such as All the Good, Caper, Charade, Silas Pew, Gingham Meadow, Pursuit, and Golden Eye.

Fat Quarter Total: 24
Fabric by: Art Gallery Fabrics
Bundle Type: Pure Solids
Availability: Until supplies last
It will ship in 1-3 business days.
Note about Fat Quarters: A fat quarter is cut by dividing a yard of fabrics into quarters. Depending on the manufacturer’s width of fabric (usually 42” to 44”), a Fat Quarter measures approximately 18” x 21”.
Note about Exact Fabrics: From time to time, depending on availability from the manufacturer, we may substitute a color or two. The feel of the palette will not change, and the fabrics will be from the same manufacturer. Because Mitzie spends significant time curating these bundles, the exact colors/fabrics are not provided to ensure they are exclusive to Jittery Wings. We partner with Cow and Giraffe for international shipping if you are outside the US.
COMPLETELY FAT QUARTER FRIENDLY!
This quilt is designed to use Fat Quarters (FQ) with minimal waste. This is a “controlled improv” quilt pattern by nature but utilizes a system of “controlled freedom” for those who fear improv. The finished square is 4” sewn into the quilt. The pattern comes together very quickly because it utilizes the 8 at a time Half Square Triangle (HST) method and the 4 at a time Flying Geese (FG) method. Pattern is written for three sizes:
Baby: 48” x 48” - 12 FQs
Throw: 64” x 72” - 24 FQs
Queen: 96” x 104” - 52 FQs
FEATURES:
- Large technical illustrations for the visual learner and detailed written instructions for the reader types.
MATERIALS:
Baby: 12 Fat Quarters
Backing: 3 yards
Binding: ½ yard
Batting: 52” square for domestic, add 4” to each side for longarm.
