This free pattern by Ariga Wilson for Robert Kaufman showcases the gorgeous KONA Cotton Solids collection in a stunning array of blues, teals, and greens that flow like water across the quilt surface.
Measuring 73" x 91" when finished, this large quilt is perfect for a full-size bed or generous throw. The pattern features a clever strip-piecing technique using simple rectangles arranged in gradient blocks that create the illusion of flowing water or underwater currents. Despite its complex appearance, the construction is surprisingly straightforward, making it an excellent choice for confident beginners ready to tackle a larger project.
The design uses 18 different KONA solid fabrics ranging from deep ocean blues and teals to soft seafoam greens and aqua tones. Each block is created by sewing three coordinating rectangles together, then arranging these blocks in a carefully planned layout that creates the stunning gradient effect. The pattern includes detailed cutting instructions for all 18 fabrics, step-by-step assembly guidance, and requires approximately 8 yards of fabric total.
With its modern aesthetic and calming color palette, this quilt brings the tranquil beauty of ocean waters into any space. The simple rectangle construction makes it perfect for showcasing beautiful solid fabrics while creating a sophisticated, contemporary look.
