The Collection Quilt (Round 2!)

January 3, 2017

Last year, I was thrilled to teach Carolyn Friedlander‘s Collection Quilt through a local quilt shop, Sew to Speak.  The first version I made as a class sample is similar to the overall aesthetic that was used in the original design, so when I constructed a second version to use for demonstration purposes, I thought it would be fun to do something entirely different.  This is my pink-loving-little-girl version!collection-quilt-2

My color palette this time around was mostly pinks and oranges with some red and violet and shots of green.

Some fussy cutting added a bit of whimsy to the overall aesthetic.collection-quilt-2-detail-3

The backing is the same fun unicorn fabric that appears in the front in a different color way.

This quilt is the perfect way to learn needle turn appliqué, and I am excited to be teaching it again this year!  Each month we will do a block that build on the skills covered in previous meetings.  If you are interested in joining the class, please contact Sew to Speak in Worthington, Ohio.  This technique opens up a whole new range of quilting designs!
