Aurora Nights: In the Arctic Wall Hanging Pattern

Capture the mystery and beauty of the far north with the Aurora Nights: In the Arctic Wall Hanging Pattern by Wildfire Designs Alaska.
This striking design transforms fabric into a glowing Arctic night scene, with waves of aurora borealis lighting up the sky above a quiet, icy landscape.
Rich in movement and contrast, this pattern blends appliqué and piecing to create a quilt that feels more like a painted canvas than a traditional block quilt.
It can be made as a standalone wall hanging or combined with the other patterns in the Aurora Nights series to form a dramatic multi-panel display — perfect for feature walls and gallery-style quilt arrangements.
Designed as a decorative wall quilt, this pattern is ideal for quilters who enjoy scenic projects and want to create true textile art.
Display it in a living room, hallway, office or studio and bring the wonder of the northern lights indoors.
