Garnish Quilt Pattern
Garnish Quilt Pattern
A playful study in curved piecing, value, and variation.
Garnish is a modern quilt pattern that explores curved piecing, color interaction, and composition through a simple orange peel block. Available with both ruler-free and precision sewing versions, this pattern gives you multiple ways to approach curves while creating dynamic layouts from a single repeated shape.
Working with the same shape again and again allows you to focus on color, value, and proportion. The pattern includes a variety of block and layout variations, encouraging you to experiment and discover your own approach to the design!
With Garnish, you’ll explore:
- Ruler-free curved piecing
- Precision curved piecing using templates
- Color and value interaction
- Using proportion and block layout to shift composition
- Exploring variations through pieced, striped, and improvisational melons
