Michael Miller Fabrics Giant Peaks Quilt – Downloadable PDF Pattern by Tamara Kate Designs

About This Free Quilting Pattern

The Giant Peaks Quilt is a striking bed-sized quilt pattern designed by Tamara Kate Designs (available at kayajoydesigns.com) and produced in partnership with Michael Miller Fabrics. This free downloadable PDF pattern creates a finished quilt measuring an impressive 88 inches wide by 78 inches long, making it a generous throw or bed quilt suitable for a full or queen-sized bed. The design is rated Confident Beginner — ideal for quilters who have completed a project or two and are ready to tackle a more visually dynamic layout without overly complex piecing.

The Giant Peaks Design

The Giant Peaks pattern takes its name from its bold, large-scale geometric peak or mountain-point shapes that create a dramatic visual rhythm across the quilt surface. Large-scale geometric quilts like this one rely on precise cutting and careful fabric placement to achieve their striking effect. The oversized nature of the peaks means fewer individual pieces than a traditional small-block quilt, which keeps the project approachable for confident beginners while still delivering a sophisticated, modern aesthetic. The careful arrangement of light, mid-tone, and dark fabrics from the Michael Miller collection gives the peaks dimension and movement, mimicking the layered look of mountain ridges or dramatic night-sky silhouettes.

Fabrics Used

This pattern is specifically designed around an extensive palette of Michael Miller Fabrics prints, all requiring 3/4 yard each. The full fabric lineup includes the following prints and colorways:

• DC8332 Midnight – from the Moonlit Border collection
• DC8333 Dusk – from the Moon Blooms collection
• DC8333 Glow – from the Moon Blooms collection
• DC8334 Coral – from the Labyrinth collection
• DC8334 Fog – from the Labyrinth collection
• DC8335 Cloud – from the Nocturnal Parade collection
• DC8336 Starlight – from the Meander collection
• DC8337 Moon – from the Rockery collection
• DC8338 Moon – from the Ethereal collection
• DC8338 Sun – from the Ethereal collection
• DC8339 Glimmer – from the Twilight collection
• DC8339 Starlight – from the Twilight collection
• DC8340 Bloom – from the Sparkling collection
• DC8340 Cloud – from the Sparkling collection
• DC8340 Twinkle – from the Sparkling collection
• DC8340 Glow – from the Sparkling collection

The overall palette draws from a cohesive nighttime-inspired color story — deep midnights, soft glows, corals, fogs, and shimmering starlights — that gives the finished quilt a luminous, celestial quality perfectly suited to its name.

Backing and Binding Fabrics

The pattern specifies DC8339 Starlight (from the Twilight collection) for the quilt backing, requiring 5 yards to cover the generous finished dimensions. The binding is cut from DC8340 Bloom (from the Sparkling collection), requiring an additional 3/4 yard. Choosing a coordinating print for the backing and binding creates a polished, cohesive look on both sides of the finished quilt.
