Experience the rich beauty of batik fabrics with the "Pebbles" quilt pattern, a stunning beginner-friendly design that showcases the gorgeous Sunrise Blossoms collection. This free pattern by Ariga Wilson for Robert Kaufman creates a mesmerizing display of jewel-toned squares that appear to float like colorful pebbles against contrasting backgrounds.
Measuring 54" x 68" when finished, this lap-size quilt is perfect for snuggling or as a beautiful wall hanging. The pattern features a classic square-in-square block construction using batik fabrics in rich purples, deep reds, golden yellows, and warm oranges. Each block combines a center square with coordinating border strips and corner triangles, creating depth and visual interest throughout the design.
The design uses 15 different batik fabrics from the Sunrise Blossoms collection, creating a sophisticated color palette that transitions from deep burgundies and purples to bright golds and oranges. The square-in-square technique, also known as "snowball corners," gives each block a distinctive rounded appearance while maintaining simple straight-line piecing that's perfect for beginners.
What makes this pattern particularly appealing is its flexibility - you can follow the suggested fabric placement for a planned color flow, or arrange the fabrics randomly for a more scrappy, spontaneous look. The pattern includes detailed cutting instructions, step-by-step block assembly with diagrams, and requires approximately 7 yards of fabric total.
