At Coach House Designs, we believe quilts are more than fabric and thread — they’re a way of marking life’s chapters. Each pattern carries a story, a memory, a feeling. Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, comforting a friend, or celebrating a milestone, the quilt you choose becomes part of that moment forever.
So, how do you pick the right quilt pattern for a gift?
Think about the life moment first — and let the colours, design, and story follow.
🌱 For New Beginnings
There’s something magical about starting fresh — the joy of a baby’s first cry, the promise of a new marriage, the excitement of moving into a new home, or the peace of retirement. These moments call for patterns that feel light, hopeful, and full of promise.
Colours: Soft pastels, creams, gentle blues, and light pinks — shades that whisper “fresh starts” and new journeys.
Patterns to Try:
⦁ Welcome a new baby with the adorable bunny heads in Sweet Baby Bunny.
⦁ Sun Up to Sun Down marks the beginning of retirement and endless adventures.
⦁ Fireworks mark the love and promise of a wedding couple.
💙 For Comfort & Memory
Life isn’t only made of celebrations — it’s also filled with times of reflection, gratitude, and sometimes grief. In those quiet moments, quilts offer comfort when words fall short. They become a soft reminder of love, a gesture of care, or a way to hold on to cherished memories.
Colours: Earth tones, muted blues, warm browns, and autumn shades — colours that soothe and ground the heart.
Patterns to Try:
⦁ Seasons Change celebrates the changing seasons in life and in nature.
⦁ The butterflies in Butterfly Dance recognize transitions into the next stage of life.
⦁ The trees in Generations remind us of our family tree and community.
🎉 For Celebration
Milestones deserve to be remembered. Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, or “just because” moments celebrate life’s brightness. Quilts for these occasions carry joy and become heirlooms of happiness.
Colours: Reds, greens, golds, rainbow palettes — colours that capture energy and excitement.

The quilt you choose isn’t just a design — it’s a reflection of the story you want to tell. Whether it’s a baby’s first quilt, comfort in hard times, or a gift to mark a special day, patterns from Coach House Designs celebrate life’s most meaningful chapters.
