If you love a quilt that feels like a piece of modern art on your bed, this free pattern is going to win your heart. Dear Gunta is a striking, contemporary design that brings together a joyful mix of solid colours into bold, graphic shapes. It finishes at a generous 84" x 88", a wonderful size to drape over a double or queen bed and instantly brighten the whole room.
Here is what makes this one such a treat to stitch:
- It is a true celebration of solids. With around fourteen carefully chosen colours, this design lets pure, unprinted fabric do all the talking, and the result is calm, confident and so satisfying.
- The colour play is the magic. Soft neutrals sit alongside fresh aquas, warm berries and earthy greens, so you get a palette that feels both modern and wonderfully soothing.
- It makes a real statement. At this generous size, the bold shapes have room to breathe, giving you a quilt that looks gallery worthy yet still feels cosy and inviting.
To make your own, you will want a thoughtful selection of solid colours in varying amounts, from small accents to a few larger background pieces. It is a lovely chance to gather a palette you adore and watch it come together into something special.
