It seemed fitting to finish this week by sharing my most recent finish…which was also my first curved quilt EVER…

I started this quilt 2014 after being challenged to do some curved blocks for a quilting bee (thanks Michelle for the challenge!). For this top I used the EZ Circle ruler and the blocks are decidedly bigger than Monday’s adventure.  If you want to learn more about the making of this quilt you can check out my original post here…

For this top I used a huge stack of solid scraps that I had in my stash…including Konas, Couture Cottons, Bella cottons and some American Made cottons.  I do not make a lot of solid only quilts but solids seemed like the perfect way learn to curve piece (no pattern distractions!)….

I am thrilled with how it all turned out.  I had Kazumi do some fabulous all over quilting on this baby…and I love the circles upon circles.  I was worried at first that the quilting may compete with the piecing but I think they work well together…

And there is no way I could have done anything this cool with the quilting by myself.  The quilt is backed with some fabulous IKEA fabric which seemed to compliment the crazy of the front of the quilt…

A little scrappy binding and I have another quilt off my WIP list.  I am really rocking them this quarter… of course with some help from a very talented long arm quilter… it feels a little like cheating but I so love what Kazumi brings to my quilts.
