Pattern Name: Petal Soft
Designer: Stephanie Sheridan
Finished Size: 80” x 96”
This is a generous large quilt — perfect for a bed quilt or statement piece.
The design features:
• 20 floral centre blocks
• Framed square layouts
• Coordinated borders
• A soft, romantic colour flow across the quilt
Each block showcases the signature floral bouquets from April’s Garden, framed with coordinating stripes, dots, and paisleys from the range.
The finished result is elegant, fresh, and beautifully balanced.
Petal Soft is designed specifically around the April’s Garden collection, which means:
• The colours are already perfectly coordinated
• The florals are showcased beautifully
• The stripe and dot prints frame the centres elegantly
• The border fabric ties everything together seamlessly
Because the collection includes creams, pinks, blues, yellows and greens, the finished quilt feels soft and spring-like without being overpowering.
It’s very “timeless heirloom” — not trendy, not fussy. Just classic.
• Traditional patchwork layouts
• Cottage-style florals
• Large bed quilts
• Coordinated full-collection projects
The finished size of 80” x 96” makes it ideal for:
• Queen bed quilts
• Guest room feature quilts
• Heirloom gifts
• Special anniversary or milestone gifts
The pattern uses multiple prints from the April’s Garden range, including:
• Floral centre prints
• Coordinating stripes
• Paisley
• Dots
• Border fabric
If you would like to make this quilt exactly as designed, our 22-piece April’s Garden bundle makes it very simple to get started.
We also have curated 7-piece colour bundles available if you would like to adapt the design with your favourite colour story.
This is our very first April Cornell range in the studio, and having a free, professionally designed quilt pattern to go with it makes it even more special.
It gives you:
• A ready-to-go quilt plan
• Confidence in colour placement
• A timeless finished design
• A beautiful way to use the entire collection
And let’s be honest — we all love a free pattern.
