Christchurch is a striking Bargello-style quilt pattern inspired by the geometric tile designs found in Christchurch, New Zealand. The flowing movement created by the pieced strips gives the quilt a sense of rhythm and energy while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.
Originally featured in Make Modern magazine, this quilt transforms simple strip piecing into a bold visual design that looks far more complex than it actually is. The structured layout allows the colors to shift and flow across the quilt top, creating a beautiful sense of motion reminiscent of architectural tile patterns.
Measuring 46” x 50”, Christchurch is a versatile project that works beautifully as a lap quilt, wall quilt, or modern decorative piece.
Perfect for confident beginners, this pattern introduces quilters to the magic of Bargello quilting while keeping the construction approachable and enjoyable.
