6 Must-Try Quilt Projects Using AGF Pure Solids (No Prints Required!) April 14 2025

Whether you're new to the AGF Pure Solids Fabric Bundle of the Month Club or you’ve been collecting solids for years, you might be wondering: What can I make using only solids?

Good news—solids are a designer’s dream. Their pure hues, clean lines, and dramatic contrasts make them ideal for modern quilts, traditional revivals, and minimalist masterpieces. Here are six stunning quilt project ideas made to shine with AGF Pure Solids—no prints required.

1. Modern Geometric Quilt

Why we love it: Solids emphasize clean shapes and color contrasts in a way prints can’t.

Try a simple half-square triangle layout or Flying Geese design to let your colors pop.

The Plenum Quilt pattern by AGF Studio is a fresh, modern take on the classic flying geese pattern—perfect for showing off your solid stash. Best of all, it’s Fat Quarter friendly! 

2. Log Cabin Remix

Why we love it: A classic block with modern flair. Arrange your solids by value or temperature for a striking effect.

  • Barn Raising
  • Courthouse Steps
  • Streak of Lightning

Choose a dark-to-light progression with AGF neutrals and brights for dramatic impact.

3. Wholecloth Minimalism

Why we love it: One solid color. A beautiful quilting design. That’s it.

Use AGF Pure Solids like Sandstone, Ocean Fog, or London Red and let your quilting (machine or hand-stitched) tell the story.

Bonus: Great for showcasing Free Motion Quilting (FMQ) or Sashiko quilting.

4. Color Gradient Quilt

Why we love it: Pure Solids come in 203 perfectly curated hues. Gradients are practically begging to happen.

  • Ombre Strip Quilt
  • Colorwheel Blocks
  • Rainbow Rail Fence

Not sure where to begin? Use your AGF Pure Solids Color Card to map out your palette!

5. Amish-Inspired Geometry

Why we love it: Timeless meets vibrant. Amish quilt styles traditionally use only solids—and the results are powerful.

  • Bars
  • Diamond in a Square
  • Center Medallion

Stick to jewel tones or a dark background for extra drama.

6. Modern Minimalist Wall Hanging

Why we love it: A few blocks. A few colors. Big impact.

Think negative space, strong lines, and crisp quilting.

  • Modern Drunkard’s Path
  • Improvisational strip piecing

The Astrodelic quilt pattern by Karen Turchan is a bold, modern design that pairs beautifully with AGF Pure Solids. This free pattern finishes as a striking 42" x 42" wall hanging—perfect for adding a pop of color to your space.
