Shimmering Lagoon
The Shimmering Lagoon quilt showcases a beautiful gradient of teal and turquoise, inspired by the calming tones of a tropical lagoon. Featuring flying geese and square-in-a-square blocks, the design creates a fluid ombré effect with rippling movement. Batik-style fabrics add texture and depth, blending traditional techniques with a fresh, modern color palette.
Finished Size: 50" x 60"
3.5 yards of coordinated backing fabric will be needed.
NOTE: If you choose to provide your own fabric you will need the Shimmering Lagoon Quilt Pattern

Jurrasic Party
Jurassic Party is a modern quilt pattern that highlights Tula Pink’s Grey Scale fabric collection.

Finished with crisp white sashing and a playful polka-dot border, this quilt is perfect for showcasing striking prints and contemporary design.
