Create a Beautiful Quilt from a Lovely Color Palette

Batiks Add Artistic Flair!
An intricate design and inspired color choices produce a beautiful quilt you’ll be glad to call your own. Smaller-scale batiks produce gradations of color within the pieces, softening the design and adding texture to the quilt.
The design was inspired by vintage architectural ironwork. While it looks complex, it’s actually made up of squares and half-square triangles along with some stitch-and-flip pieces. None of it is difficult, but take your time and make sure the points all line up nicely.
A variegated quilting thread works beautifully with the design and colors. It’s a lovely finishing touch.
Designer Kate Colleran provides instructions for two quilt sizes:
- Lap (or Throw) Quilt – 60 ½” x 73″
- Queen Quilt – 92″ x 92″
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources.
