Patchwork Sampler

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

DWM: Modernism Circles

There hasn’t been much sewing at my house lately but over the weekend I managed to get a couple of new quilts cut out.  I had a layer cake from Barbara Brackman’s Moderism collection.

All the prints in this collection are pretty dark so I needed to find a project that didn’t require a lot of contrast.  I really like Elisa Wilson’s templates for Crazy Curves and knew that the 8” Rainbow Block Template fits perfectly on a 10” square.  This is a fast quilt to cut and piece and even the quilting goes quickly because an overall edge-to-edge design works really well.  Since I’ve made this a couple of times before I thought there was a post showing how to easily cut these blocks from a layer cake but I didn’t find it.  I’ll work up a quick demo after work today and post it tomorrow.  It is such a fun quilt to make.

I have a few of the blocks pieced and think I’m really going to like this one.  There are only two seams in each block so it will only take a couple more hours to finish them and the fun of setting the blocks together will begin!
