Summer Sampler 2021 :: Petal Prism

Every Petal Prism block I saw in the Summer Sampler this week was a stunner, so I was pretty excited to see how mine turned out. Designed by Wendy Chow of The.WeekendQuilter, it's inspired by the traditional Spool and Grandmother’s Choice quilt blocks. Together, these blocks form an enhanced Sawtooth Star.


The design incorporates half-square triangles and flying geese, and since those geese are my nemesis, I used Lee Heinrich's Perfect Flying Geese templates, and am super happy I did. I even left the papers on while I added the accent corners, and that worked like a charm.

So blocks 1 - 4 are done, and I kinda love 'em! I'm super pleased how all the fabrics in my pull are playing together, but really think that Kona Limelight is adding a little something extra to the overall effect.

  1. From what I can see, I love that print with the lines going through it. I love your color choices for this. It’s not at all hard to see why you’d be kinda lovin’ it all. :-)
