I first saw this quilt hanging in a shop I visited while travelling. It was made in the original dark colors as designed by Tim Holtz, but it was striking. I downloaded the pattern (available free, here) and procrastinated for a few months.
Finally I gathered my Tim Holtz fabrics and made my version in lighter colors.
The only difficult part was getting the fabrics cut in the correct orientation. The name of the pattern is “Curious By Nature”. Once I got the pieces cut, it went fast because there are only 32 pieces!. I love the quilt and loved making it. Did I mention I love this quilt?
And here’s a picture of where all 8 points come together at the center. I take little credit for this, because the pattern included shaped points that made this possible!
I love those Tim Holtz fabrics–they’re so wierd! And did I mention I love this quilt?

Wow! The points you sewed together are perfect! And I really like your colors. It’s great that this was a free pattern, and includes “rounds.” I’m always a pushover for those in a quilt. So tell me, do you love it?
Ha! What’s not to love!
What a great design — and bravo on the perfect points!
I was as surprised as anyone…
I love those fabrics and those points are seriously impressive
Thanks! I never knew how much difference it makes trimming the points before joining them–I do now!
you are quite right to love this quilt
Thank you!
Wow I saw this quilt in a later post you did (I am working backward on catching up on your posts) and I loved it. Now I am rewarded with a link the pattern! I went ahead and downloaded it, thanks! I have a fat quarter set of TH fabric somewhere and I’d love to make this someday!
Ha! Now I’m the one catching up after being gone for most of the past 3 weeks. I love this quilt and think you will, too! I look forward to seeing your version.
