Potter's Wheel Interrupted
Just finished up this 42" x 52" quilt that I made using 12 blocks from the Potter's Wheel pattern by Briar Hill Designs. I wimped out at 12 blocks, 8 on the front and 4 on the back, mostly because I didn't have enough fabric to do what I wanted to make a large quilt and I just didn't want to buy more fabric so I opted for something smaller. I set the blocks so that I had lots of negative space to try my hand at free motion baptist fans. I didn't pre mark the fans and things got a bit wonky and I decided to just go for it and quilt the way that makes me happy. I used three different colours of thread..mint, pink and grey. The prints are Tula Pink and the solid background is Kona Gotham Grey.
Hope you had a day filled with quilting! 😊

What a beautiful finish!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Linda! It came out to be absolutely gorgeous! The back is as pretty as the front! And your wonky Baptist fans look perfect to me. You have the Midas touch!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job, Linda! I swear, I NEVER thought I would hear you say, " I just didn't want to buy more fabric"!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Linda - a great finish. xx
ReplyDeleteLooks great. It's a reversible quilt! The quilting is great.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I love liberated fan quilting. So much fabulous texture. Does that pattern use a template for the curved pieces, or were you able to use a standard ruler? The wheel shape is neat, I can see why it caught your eye.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! I really like what you did with these blocks. It's such a nice modern-looking quilt. The back is wonderful too! Is it a size that will make a nice lap quilt? Your free motion quilting really suits this piece, and I love that you did it all freehand. I quite admire anyone who takes the time to domestic machine quilt their quilts. Don't you? :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it...
