The Ripple Quilt by Lou Orth Designs is a bold, modern quilt pattern featuring beautiful geometric shapes arranged in flowing diagonal lines that create a striking sense of movement.
Combining Half-Square Triangles (HST), colourful fabric combinations and precise patchwork piecing, Ripple transforms simple quilt blocks into an eye-catching contemporary design.
Its repeating triangular motifs create a beautiful ripple effect across the quilt, making it perfect for experimenting with different colour palettes and showcasing your favourite fabrics.
Choose a soft ombré effect, a vibrant rainbow combination or a modern monochromatic palette to create a quilt that reflects your personal style.
With four finished sizes — Baby, Small Lap, Large Lap and Bed — Ripple is ideal for creating a colourful nursery quilt, a decorative handmade throw or a beautiful statement bed quilt.
The pattern uses seven feature fabrics and a coordinating background. Depending on your chosen size, it can be made using Fat Eighths, Fat Quarters or regular yardage.
With clear written instructions, illustrated construction diagrams and helpful pressing tips, Ripple is a rewarding project for confident beginners and experienced quilters alike.

Suggested Fabrics
This pattern is designed for stable woven quilting fabrics. The designer's yardage requirements assume a minimum usable fabric width of 40" (approximately 102 cm).
For a colourful modern quilt:
- Quilting cottons in coordinating colours and prints
- Cotton poplin
- Solid-coloured woven cottons
- Fat Eighths or Fat Quarters in complementary shades
- Small-scale geometric or abstract prints
For an ombré quilt:
- Seven coordinating shades from light to dark
- Graduated tones of the same colour
- Soft pastel or bold jewel-tone fabric combinations
For the background:
- Solid-coloured quilting cotton
- White or ivory cotton for a clean, modern look
- Neutral cotton for a soft, balanced appearance
- Dark contrasting cotton for a dramatic geometric effect
Tip: Arrange your seven feature fabrics in a gradual colour sequence to enhance the ripple effect. For a different look, use contrasting prints or shades of a single colour.
Piecing Tip: Alternate the direction of your pressed seams between columns to help the seam intersections nest neatly during assembly.

Shipping fees are automatically calculated based on the weight of your order, with several delivery options and prices available.
If a carrier does not service your address, we may need to use an alternative option, which could incur additional charges, particularly for P.O. box addresses.

Please note that stains, holes, or blemishes within 3 inches (10 cm) of the edge are considered acceptable.

Please be aware that fabric may shrink after the first wash, so we recommend purchasing slightly more than the exact length required for your project.
