The pattern comes from a Moda Bakeshop Tutorial. It's a really simple quilt that uses only a charm pack and 1 yard of solid white (plus backing and binding.)
This quilt had a few "firsts" for me. It was my first time making prairie points. They were pretty time consuming. They also came out very wrinkled after washing. But I love the look they added to this quilt. Not sure if I'll do them again though.
It was also my first time quilting the flower petal design (not sure if that's the official name for it.) It's definitely far from perfect, but I was fun to try something new. I really like this quilting design on top of the half square triangle blocks (which are in this case, making up pinwheels.) It gives them a subtle roundness and lots of movement.

Oh, wow! I remember seeing this quilt pattern awhile ago an liking it. Your version came out beautifully! I love the little prairie points. They add that perfect touch. I'm sad to hear that they aren't fun to make, but maybe I'll try them anyway someday. Also, on your quilting, did you use your walking foot to do the flowery quilting or did you free motion it?
ReplyDeleteLulubloom- Thanks so much for your wonderful compliments. I used my darning foot to do the flower petal quilting. At first I just eyeballed it, but after a few attempts decided to draw it with a fabric marker and then trace over that to quilt it.
