Steph’s designs in Quilting the National Parks book are a dream for color lovers — whether you’re drawn to monochromatic palettes, complementary contrasts, split complementary combos, or even tetradic schemes, these landscape-inspired quilts are built for color play. 🌈🧵
Today we’re sharing the third pattern from the book on QuiltInk: the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Quilt — a bold and geometric bed-size quilt (90” x 90”) made entirely with Half-Rectangle Triangles. It’s a modern interpretation of mountain layers, perfect for testing gradient effects or striking contrasts.
