Canyon Creek Free Quilt Pattern by Natalie Crabtree
Canyon Creek uses carefully ordered strips to create a wave effect across the quilt. Natalie Crabtree's design features the Terrain collection, pairing narrow and wide fabric strips before slicing them into repeated units. Those units form two block arrangements that alternate across the layout. The finished quilt measures 81 by 78 inches, with the wave pattern extending through the center and out to the binding without a separate pieced border interrupting the movement.
