There is something quietly majestic about a large-scale floral quilt. The blooms feel almost painted onto the fabric, and when they are set inside a classic block layout the result is a quilt that looks both heirloom and on-trend. The Empress Bouquet pattern leans into that feeling, letting beautiful prints do the talking while a steady piecing rhythm carries the design across the bed.
Designed by Peggy Toole for Robert Kaufman, this is one of those patterns that rewards the fabric you choose. The piecing is approachable, the templates are included at full size, and the finished quilt is generous enough to dress a queen-size bed.
- Showcase your favourite large-scale florals. The block structure is built to frame statement prints rather than chop them up.
- Templates included at correct size. Print at "no scaling" and you are ready to cut.
- Finished size 82.5" x 92". A true bed-sized quilt, perfect as a gift or a guest-room centerpiece.
