I Love This Finish!

This pattern came from a shop I visited on vacation last year. Then there was the issue of templates, which I ended up ordering from the same shop where I’d bought the pattern. Of course I can make templates, but it’s so much easier to cut around an acrylic template than to draw around a home-made template and then cut with scissors.

I got the small templates because that’s all that was available. Here’s a detailed picture in which you can see the lovely swirl quilting as well as that pointed lozenge that finishes at 2-1/4 inches long!

The quilt was exhausting to make, but I love it now that it’s done! There was the option to make the background pieced as well, but I passed 😀

    • Thanks. And believe it or not, I think I’ll make it again in a larger size since my nice husband found a set of the larger templates and gave them to me for christmas!

      • Gorgeous design. All the bits on the inside make the whole quilt “happen.” You have a thoughtful husband to give you the templates in a larger size. I’m impressed that he noticed that you needed (wanted) them! Very attentive husband! You are fortunate.

  1. I love that you used some prints and solids. It turned out beautiful! I have the pattern and I hope I’m up for the challenge soon!

  2. What a fun and amazing and lots-a-pieces quilt! I’m impressed with your skills and love that quilting. Having done a small one like this, good for you for going larger next time. It’s beautiful!
