I showed you a bit of this quilt a couple of weeks ago while I was still playing with the layout. This quilt came about with a little trial and error (mostly error)…but the seam ripper and I had some quality time and we worked it out. In the end it was really fun (and easy!) to make.
I quilted it on my machine with a swirly free motion pattern…my favorite quilting pattern lately and I’m slowly getting better at it.
Finished and washed just in time for 4th of July and summer weather.
I have a tutorial for this one I’ll finish up and post in the next couple of days…one that hopefully won’t require your seam ripper! ;)

I love it! Such an interesting design, one that fools the eye and creates a TON of movement! This would be a great quilt to help diminish my ever-huge, never-diminishing scraps!

That is a great quilt! My seam ripper and I know more about each other than is neccessary... I feel your pain ;-)
Rebecca Grace
That quilt is fantastic! Immediately I'm in love with the colors and the splashes of red that keep my eye moving around the quilt, and then I notice the interesting block designs. And yes, your "swirly" quilting IS getting good from practice! Love it! :-)

Such a happy quilt, I'm looking forward to your tutorial. I've stared at your post a few times and just when i think I've figured out what you did I realize I am wrong. :) Great quilt for Pacific Northwest summers.

I love this! With slightly bigger blocks, it would be a perfect way to use a couple layer cakes...

Love the pattern! I'm glad to hear that professional pattern makers come up with layouts the same way I do, trial and error and moving and swapping pieces, kind of like a jigsaw puzzle. Your quilting is fine, but I do like how when you wash and dry a quilt you can't notice the quilting anyway.
