Common Bride Quilt Pattern

One of Edyta Sitar’s most celebrated designs — Common Bride from Laundry Basket Quilts is a magnificent medallion quilt combining intricate piecing with exquisite botanical appliqué. A genuine heirloom project for experienced quilters who want to make something truly extraordinary.

Common Bride is a masterwork of traditional quilt design — a grand medallion composition with a central star, surrounded by concentric rings of pieced blocks, flying geese, and tumbling nine-patches, all framed by a breathtaking botanical appliqué border of flowing leaves and stems. The result is a quilt of extraordinary elegance that suits traditional, antique, and collector interiors beautifully, and makes a stunning centrepiece for any room.

This is an intermediate to advanced pattern that combines both piecing and appliqué techniques, and rewards quilters who enjoy working with precision and patience. The soft, tonal palette — sage greens, dusty pinks, warm creams, and muted earthy tones — is quintessentially Edyta Sitar, and works beautifully with LBQ fabric collections. Video tutorials are available on the Laundry Basket Quilts YouTube Channel to support you through the construction. Pattern format: Printed. SKU: LBQ-0281-P.
