I wanted to make a curvy quilt using all Kaffe fabrics.
I started the center with contrasting fabrics so you could really get a feel for the curved piecing.
I used the Fons & Porter circle templates for this quilt, just like I did with this one.
The center was inspired by one of Kaffe's quilts. I forget which book, but I know I saw this design there. I pieced two contrasting triangles together to make a block. I did this with two different size blocks. Then I cut the 1/4 circles out of each corner and switched them all up so they were in contrast again.
It was a very easy way to piece this section, although it looks very complicated.
I decided to put it on point and used strips of green and blue to make the corners.It still needed something else, so I appliqued some magenta circles randomly to break it up a bit.
I love the way it turned out. As usual, I just need to decide on how to quilt it!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.
I know I am so greatful for my family and friends . . .
