This is a completely pieced flower block and full of curves. The curves seem to be a theme for me this year! The background is 2-tone. I used a white solid and a very subtle gray print. If you look close you can see the pinwheels that form in the background. Love that!
I struggled in choosing a binding for the quilt and "settled" on a navy diagonal stripe from April Showers. I ended up loving it!
The background quilting is a loopy paisley fill and I marked a design with a circle template that created a big, round flower motif on the flower. I shared a Flipgram tutorial on Instagram, which you can view here. (Wait a few seconds for it to play)
The quilt sure is a mix of fabrics! Each wedge was cut from a different fabric and the outside petals are all a bold graphic print.
It was a fun quilt to make and I think I've finally made peace with curves!

ReplyDeleteI adore this! I've been debating making this pattern and I think you've just convinced me I have to. The subtle background is a nice touch!
ReplyDeleteyou are a braver soul than I, I just cannot get into sewing curves as I like my sewing to go much faster. You should be proud of your pattern/fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteThat is a super cute quilt, love the colors especially the subtle color difference in the background fabrics :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a recent reader, what machine do you use for quilting? Your quilts, and quilting, are just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I always love your mix of fabrics. I wish I was brave enough to try curved piecing.
ReplyDeleteStunning work, Cindy! I'm so impressed with the curves and the colours are so fun and playful. I hadn't initially (in previous blog posts) consciously noticed the white and grey background but now that I 'see' it, it's a fabulous addition to the overall look and something I'd like to include myself in a future project. Congrats on the new finish.
ReplyDeleteI can't put my finger on it exactly but there's something about this one that just makes me go "Ah!!!" Great job.
