Free quilt pattern featuring Boho Collection by AGF STUDIO.
FINISHED SIZE | 61" x 61"
This design for this quilt was inspired by Mandalas in traditional art and by the classic dresden quilts. Our Boho Fusions fabrics, full of vibrant, saturated colors and floral patterns were a natural match for the quilt design.
The word Mandala is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning circle, and is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Buddhism and Hinduism representing the universe. Mandalas also show up in the architecture of Christian Cathedrals and Muslim Mosques and many have pointed to echoes of the mandala in the radial geometry of the flowers all around us, and even the planet we live on. Recently, mandala art has been noted for it's therapeutic value. It is interesting to note that both Tibetan Buddhism and the Navajo Native Americans practice meditative, ritual making of intricate sand mandalas which take them several days. The Tibetan sand mandalas are ultimately swept away after completion to represent the impermanence of life. There is no need to destroy your newly made quilt though! We at AGF hope that it becomes a treasured part of your home that is used again and again!
