quilt patterns
Sewn fabric arrangements
Quilt patterns are the geometric or pictorial designs created by arranging fabric pieces in a quilt top.
Traditional patterns have names passed down through generations—log cabin, wedding ring, flying geese, nine patch.
The same pattern may have different names in different regions.
Quilters follow established patterns or create original designs, piecing fabric to form the overall composition.
