Design

This self-made quilt featuring two stylized dolphins combines modern design with a handcrafted patchwork aesthetic. The clean color blocks create a calm background, while the appliquéd dolphins with star details add a strong visual accent.
The quilt is versatile for everyday use: as a wall hanging in the living room or children’s room, as a play mat, or as a decorative statement piece in modern interiors. Its graphic design makes it both playful and stylish, allowing it to fit into minimalist as well as more vibrant home concepts.
Careful processing of the batting and stable quilting ensure that the quilt keeps its shape and can be used both as a wall hanging and on the floor.

In addition to this design, the following animal designs are also available: poodle, cat, and horse.
