There is something wonderfully warm and welcoming about Genny and Ruth, a quilt full of big, blooming star blocks that feel a little like sunbursts opening up across the top. Nine generous blocks sit in a tidy three by three arrangement, each one radiating points out from a soft, light centre, and against a gentle background they really do glow. It even comes in three colourways, so you can choose the mood that suits you best.
Each block is a large, many pointed star, pieced so that a ring of colour surrounds a pale centre while the points reach outward like petals. The calm background floats the blocks and lets every shape read clearly, and the repeated layout gives the whole quilt a lovely sense of rhythm, one bloom leading gently to the next.
Here is why this one is worth making:
- Big, joyful blocks. Those large blooming stars make a real statement, cheerful and generous, the kind of design that lifts a whole room.
- A generous square size. At 72" x 72", it is roomy enough to sit beautifully on a bed as a topper or to wrap around you on the sofa, with a lovely balanced shape.
- Three moods to choose from. With Petal, Nature and Nightfall colourways on offer, you can lean into warm and blushing, fresh and natural, or deep and moody, whichever speaks to you.
