This quilt is inspired by the lost wonder of New Zealand’s Pink and White Terraces—once described as the eighth wonder of the world before being buried by a volcanic eruption in 1886. Just like their delicate cascading formations, this design layers color and form in a way that feels both structured and organic.

The geometric illusion of steps or terraces gives this quilt a bold, dimensional presence. Soft pinks, whites, and greys echo the palette of silica terraces meeting water and sky, while the angular layout adds a modern architectural edge.

This is an intermediate-level pattern, perfect for quilters ready to play with directional piecing, value, and layout.
