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 😀

All I can say is WOW!
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.
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!
Go for it! Getting the templates was the hardest part. I worked on it a LITTLE at a time, since it was “challenging” 😀
I really like your choices of patterned fabrics. I think you have such a good balance of patterned and solids!
Thank you. The “balance” was in the scrap bag 😀
very visually appealing!
Thank you 😀
Wow! Well done…both technically and visually! 🙂
Thank you!
Wow- such detail. And visually worth the effort, IMHO!
Thanks!
Remarkable work with such intricate piecing. No wonder you are pleased with it!
Thank you.
That is an amazing quilt, what a pattern! Love your choice of fabric colors!
Thanks! I have no idea why I thought it would be a good idea to do this…
love it!! You certainly aren’t afraid of challenging projects!
Thank you!
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!
Thank you 😀
