Designed by Ariga Mahmoudlou for Robert Kaufman Fabrics, this stunning 60" x 75" masterpiece is a celebration of the Kona Cotton Solids 2021 Color of the Year.

The magic of the On the Horizon quilt lies in its innovative half-square triangle (HST) construction, which creates a stunning geometric pattern that seems to shimmer and move across the quilt's surface. Each block is a miniature work of art, carefully crafted using half-square triangles in shades of blue, white, and gray that create a sophisticated and modern look. The pattern plays with color placement, using solid-colored fabrics to create depth, movement, and visual intrigue. The soft blue background provides the perfect canvas for the intricate block design, making each geometric element pop with incredible vibrancy and precision.
What truly sets this quilt apart is its technical brilliance and artistic vision. The half-square triangle units are meticulously constructed, with each triangle placed with mathematical precision to create a larger, more complex pattern. Quilters will love the challenge of creating these intricate blocks, which require careful attention to detail and a playful approach to color placement. The design creates an optical illusion of movement, with blocks that seem to radiate outward like light on the horizon. Whether you're looking to showcase your quilting skills, create a statement piece for your home, or challenge yourself with a technically demanding project, the On the Horizon quilt offers an exciting journey of creativity and precision. So gather your Kona Cotton Solids, warm up your sewing machine, and get ready to create a quilt that's part geometry, part imagination!
