Bring bold energy and striking movement to your next project with the Carnival quilt pattern by Gudrun Erla. Originally featured in the now out-of-print book Big Blocks, Big Style, this updated version includes Stripology® techniques for faster, more accurate cutting and piecing.

Carnival features large, dramatic blocks that create a stunning starburst effect, framed with sashing that adds structure and visual contrast. The design is perfect for showcasing a variety of fabrics—mix fat quarters and fat eighths to create a vibrant, scrappy look or choose a more coordinated palette for a bold, modern finish.

With its combination of half-square triangles, flying geese, and simple strip piecing, this pattern offers a satisfying quilting experience while delivering impressive results.

The pattern includes instructions for three sizes:
Lap, Twin, and Queen—ideal for everything from throws to bed quilts.

William V. ★★★★★

The way the large-scale blocks create that sense of movement really makes the final quilt pop, and I love how the pattern builds on itself. It’s a refreshing project that felt rewarding without being overly complicated.

Natalie ★★★★★

The step-by-step diagrams are so clear I had the first block pieced in an afternoon, and the way the strips cascade really does capture that carnival feel. I've made three versions already for gifts.

Emily ★★★★★

I love how the bold geometric shapes in this pattern really pop once you start piecing them together, and the cutting instructions were easy to follow. The finished block has such a dynamic, carnival-like feel that makes the whole quilt look alive.
