There is something so magical about a quilt that captures the quiet beauty of the colder months, and this free pattern does exactly that. Winter is a striking, modern design with a deep, moody palette of inky darks lifted by cool blues and unexpected pops of colour, like the first frosty morning seen through a window. It finishes at a cosy 54" x 80", a lovely size to wrap up in on a chilly evening.
Here is what makes this one such a treat to stitch:
- The palette tells a story. Rich black grounds the whole design, while soft icy tones and the occasional warm spark create that wonderful wintry mood, calm, atmospheric and full of depth.
- A beautiful mix of solids and tonals. Combining clean solids with gently textured blender fabrics gives the quilt real richness, so it reads as art while still feeling cosy and inviting.
- A generous, snuggly size. At 54 by 80 inches, it is a wonderful throw for the sofa or the end of a bed, ready to keep you warm all season long.
To make your own, you will want a moody mix of fabrics, a strong dark for grounding, a handful of cool and warm accents, and your usual backing and binding. It is a lovely chance to play with mood and contrast.
