Sundown

Description

This beginner-friendly “Sundown” quilt pattern by Ariga Mahmoudlou for Robert Kaufman showcases a breathtaking sunset-inspired design measuring 55″ x 64″. The pattern features beautiful star blocks scattered across a captivating ombr background that transitions from golden yellows through vibrant oranges to deep rich reds, creating a stunning visual effect that captures the magic of a sunset sky.

The beauty of this free quilting pattern lies in its straightforward construction using Kona cotton solids. Quilters create simple star blocks using half-square triangles and basic squares, then place them strategically across colorful strips. The design employs 16 different fabric colors arranged in rows to create a smooth gradient effect that appears much more complex than its actual construction. Each row contains rectangles of specific lengths with a star block positioned to create a scattered star pattern.

Perfect for both new quilters and experienced crafters seeking a satisfying project, this pattern provides clear, step-by-step instructions with helpful diagrams. The Sundown quilt makes an eye-catching statement piece, a thoughtful handmade gift, or an ideal project for expanding your quilting skills while working with a stunning color palette. With just basic cutting, piecing, and pressing techniques, you’ll create a showstopping quilt that will draw compliments wherever it’s displayed!
