Identify your quilt

Diamond Quilt

Our most common style is the diamond quilt, so named for the diamond-shaped stitching.

Onion Quilt

A little more rare! Our onion quilts have a distinct curvy pattern to the stitching - kind of like the root vegetable.

Baffle Quilt

Keeping us on the straight and narrow is the baffle quilt. Neat, horizontal lines all the way.
