12 Handsome Herringbone Quilt Patterns

June 27, 2018 by FaveQuilts

Herringbone quilt patterns are unequivocally one of the most iconic quilt patterns around, and it’s no wonder why. With a sleek, arrow-like point and eye-catching pattern variations, this geometric design can be a decorative godsend for any living space. The straight lines and diagonals resemble the bones of the herring, which might explain the wide prevalence of the pattern.

Few other quilt patterns boast as impressive of a history as the herringbone pattern. This classic design can be found among ancient Egyptian textiles and jewelry, the road paving systems of the Roman Empire, and Celtic horsehair cloth. Even the Shroud of Turin, dated back to the Middle Ages, is said to have a herringbone pattern!

Since then, over thousands of years, the popularity of herringbone designs hasn’t wavered. If anything, it’s only become stronger! Herringbone isn’t just for quilting, either. In textiles, herringbone is a variant of twill fabric in which the twilling is often reversed, thereby creating a herringbone pattern. In modern menswear, herringbone print is a chic design to have on high-end suits. Everywhere you look, it seems, herringbone can be found.

If you want to bring the simple elegance of herringbone to your home decor, look no further than this list of 12 Handsome Herringbone Quilt Patterns! All of these are easy to sew and great for using pre-cuts. Give any space a modern update with these chevron-like quilt designs.
