Sunrise

Say hello to Sunrise, a circle quilt design that brings serious morning-light energy. Bold circles radiate outward in clean, curved arcs, like the sun breaking over the horizon.

This pattern is easygoing by nature. It works on modern quilts, bold fabrics, and soft neutrals without missing a beat. The edge-to-edge flow stays smooth from the first row to the last.

There's only minimal backtracking involved, so your longarm keeps a steady, relaxed rhythm throughout the stitch-out. Nothing fussy, just gorgeous geometric movement.

Sunrise is a great pick for modern quilts, bold throws, or any project that could use a striking focal point. The radiating design adds drama while still letting your fabric shine.

This circle quilt design ships as an instant digital download. Inside the ZIP file, you'll find 15+ formats ready for most longarm and embroidery systems.

Bring a little radiant energy to your next quilt. Download Sunrise and start stitching today.
