Ballerina

About this pattern

This stunning design captures a ballerina mid-leap, her rainbow-striped gown billowing in great sweeping arcs of red, orange, yellow, teal, purple, and deep navy, as though the fabric itself is alive with movement. She reaches one arm skyward against a glowing cream and golden-yellow halo sun, all set within a richly layered background of curved teal and blue patchwork shapes that echo the rhythm of her dance.

Every swirling panel of her dress is a separate fabric piece, making this an absolute joy to build up in the raw-edge fusible applique style, with colour decisions that are both guided and gloriously free. The graphic boldness of the design means it reads beautifully from across a room, whether hung as a statement wall quilt or displayed as a showpiece in a dancer's space.

🌿 Thank you for supporting a small independent quilt-pattern studio. Happy stitching - there's always something bright and beautiful on the way at WildbloomQuilts. 🌸

Every pattern in this shop is my own work, from the first line to the last page. I draw each design by hand as an original vector illustration in Adobe Illustrator, then develop it into a ready-to-sew applique pattern - every cutting line, every fabric colour, every template page and instruction. Each one takes time and a lot of care, and I hope that comes through when you stitch it.
