Ariel Quilt Pattern

Ariel by Gudrun Erla is a strip-based quilt pattern designed to create bold visual movement through structured piecing.
Built around strip construction, this pattern allows for efficient cutting and strong graphic impact.
It works beautifully with coordinated strip bundles, organised stash selections, or carefully curated colour palettes.
The layout balances simplicity in construction with striking overall effect, making it suitable for both smaller projects and larger bed quilts.
