Meet "Spiraled".
Left-over half-square triangles from two previous Terrain projects,
Swoon and
Sparkle, have been languishing in my scrap bin. This time last week, I totally was planning on using them to create a quilt with lots of negative space and a non-traditional little zig-zag. But then I started playing with them on my design wall, and before I knew it, I had a spiral of sorts. And then another. And then . . . several!
I loved the thought of going 'outside' the boundaries a bit, so I let a few of the spirals cut right through the skinny
Pearl border. (The Pearl is by
Northcott Colorworks, and also used
here, where I loved the subtle contrast, thus the repeat on this little quilt.)
I quilted randomly placed trios of stitching, loving how the diagonals cross each other all over the quilt.
Measuring 30"x32", the quilt is finished with matching pearl binding except where the spirals touch the edge. As much fun as it is to use a lovely new stack of fabric, it's been pretty satisfying creating this quilt with left-overs.
Linking up with the festival of half square triangles, Fabric Tuesday, Made By ME Wednesday, TNT Thursday, finish it up friday, sew & tell, and Slash the Stash.
This project was on my original post for 2nd quarter, so I am linking up with Quilter in The Gap's 2nd Quarter Finish-A-Long linky party!
I love love love this quiltie!

ReplyDeleteSO much to love - the name (so fun how it's another "S"), the design - going into the binding (!) and using your scraps. It's gorgeous - no doubt Spiraled will be featured somewhere soon. :)
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea! i have tons of leftovers from my swoons as well.. hmm :)
ReplyDeleteOh my word- just gorgeous!!! I love not- and that binding never ceases to amaze me :)!!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! And very modern! Great idea to let the spirals go off the edges.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you using to hang it? Is it a curtain rod installed on the wall?
Oh, just love your spiral quilt and the quilting!
ReplyDeleteGreat arrangement!
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY cool Debbie! I love how it turned out. It was hard to tell on your last post how big or small this is, now it's much clearer. I love that you did your famous pieced binding again!

ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous quilt, Debbie! I love the random design, the quilting lines and the pearl border. And of course, your amazing binding!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, this is gorgeous! Wow!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is what our quilt bee leader would call an 'Out of the box' quilt. I love the way the colors meander around here and there.
ReplyDeleteWonderful spirals--could keep a quilt watcher engaged for hours!--or more!
