🐮 Highland Cow Quilt Pattern PDF – Modern Farmhouse Animal Wall Hanging, Rustic Quilting FPP Project

This Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) pattern depicts the calm strength and wild beauty of the Highland Cow.
The design plays with long layered shapes and tonal shifts to recreate the movement and texture of the cow’s heavy coat. Each geometric plane has been composed to reflect light naturally, giving the quilt a sense of volume and quiet realism while keeping a clean, modern look.

With 300 pieces, 26 sections, and 7 colors, it offers a balanced mix of clarity and character. The assembly flows logically, making it suitable for quilters at an easy to intermediate level - approachable for those with basic FPP experience, and satisfying for more advanced makers who enjoy structured, textural projects.
