Highland Fling Celtic Quilt Pattern

Like this? Share it!

A Modern Twist on Tradition

The Highland Fling quilt brings a fresh, contemporary energy to your home with its distinctive plaid look. This Celtic quilt pattern design uses clever piecing to create the illusion of a woven tartan, but the real showstopper is the beautiful Celtic appliqué featured right in the center.

This central motif adds a touch of heritage and elegance to the modern plaid background.

Best of all, the appliqué is versatile—you can choose to finish it by hand for a traditional feel or by machine for a faster result.

Pattern Highlights:

  • Skill Level: Intermediate
  • Techniques: Traditional piecing to achieve the plaid effect, plus Celtic appliqué (hand or machine instructions included).
  • Project Type: Queen Sized – 88″ x 96″

Timeless Celtic Quilt Pattern

The layout creates a beautiful “dance” of colour across the quilt top. It is a standout project for anyone who loves the timeless look of tartans and the intricate beauty of Celtic knots.

The Highland Fling is more than just a quilt; it is a celebration of texture, history, and pattern that you will love to display or gift to someone special.
