I love a good foundation paper piecing project and am a major fan of Audrey @cottonandburbon. She has several patterns available and this one - the Mobius Radial pattern - is my favorite.
The pattern instructions are very clear - complex but clear. I spread the construction out over several days and used lots of pins during the assembly process. (Read more about my experiences when piecing.)
For the quilting, I had originally planned straight line quilting running top to bottom, regardless of the piecing. But once two lines were sewn, I decided that I wanted quilting that would encourage the white bits to pop which meant just quilting the blue.

Fabrics used are both Painters Palette solids and the blue is Colonial Blue. I had Aurifil 1310 Medium Blue Gray matched nicely. The quilt finished 30" x 30".
Very striking!! You have a lot more patience than I do!!
ReplyDeleteI like that you left the white pieced elements unquilted. This one makes me think of a curving piano keyboard for some reason!
ReplyDeleteWonderful finish! I was curious what you were going to do and this is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing, Well done. Take care & hugs..
ReplyDeleteFantastic! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful finish! Congrats xo
ReplyDeleteIt's fabulous, Patty! The quilting is perfect. There must have been about a bazillion threads to bury!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great quilt, Patty! I love that you used a more subtle solid color (Colonial Blue) than I would have chosen. It's such a refreshing, crisp color palette. Your quilting decisions are perfect - good for highlighting the white bits, as you said. Will you hang it in your house?
