Moonstone Quilt Pattern

A breathtaking scrappy circle quilt pattern from Laundry Basket Quilts — Moonstone creates a luminous ombre wash of colour across the quilt top, with each circle pieced from four scrappy quarter-circles in coordinating fabrics on a warm cream background. A truly show-stopping design that showcases your fabric collection beautifully.

The Moonstone design is one of those quilts that draws people in from across the room — the circular blocks create a soft, flowing movement across the quilt top, and the ombre colour graduation from warm pinks and reds through golds and greens to cool teals and deep blues gives the finished quilt an almost painterly quality. It suits modern, contemporary, and eclectic interiors beautifully, and makes a stunning bed quilt or statement wall hanging.

This is an intermediate-level pattern, ideal for quilters who are comfortable with curved piecing and enjoy a project with real visual drama. It’s the ultimate scrappy quilt — the more varied your fabric selection, the more spectacular the result. A large and varied stash of florals, tone-on-tones, and small prints across a full colour spectrum gives the most striking ombre effect. Pattern format: Printed. SKU: LBQ-0971-P.

Also available: Moonstone – Poppy Seeds (a warm red and pink colourway variation) and Moonstone Templates (SKU: LBQ-0926-TP) for precise curved cutting.
