Patchwork Promenade Quilt
21/05/2025
Watch Sandi present and demonstrate her new design. The Patchwork Promenade was inspired by sunny seaside strolls and the joyful charm of beach hut holidays. With its playful geometric layout and crisp, colourful blocks, this quilt captures the rhythm of walking the promenade, all soft pastels, peppermint greens, and raspberry-swirled ice cream shades. The bold shapes and striking diagonals add a fresh, modern twist, while the repeating blocks give it a comforting sense of structure. It’s a quilt that invites you to play with colour, use up your stash, and create something full of light, movement, and cheerful nostalgia.
