Introducing: Whirligig. This bright happy quilt is ready for some springtime stitching!
Disclaimer: The products used to make this quilt were given to me by Island Batik and industry partners.
Whirligig is featured in the new Spring 2022 issue of Quilter's World. This just hit local quilt shops yesterday. Go out and get your copy before they are all snatched up!
I have two patterns in this magazine. I'll be sharing the second quilt, Shop Hop in my next post.
I used Karen Overton's Sea Glass fabric collection for the Whirligig quilt. This is one of my favorite Island Batik collections EVER! The colors sing to my heart and the designs are just as wonderful.
Seriously! Look at this beautiful blue fish design. Heavenly and Whimsical!
The Whirligig quilt is a great quilt for scraps. Each block features two different colors and they can be mixed and matched for maximum sewing fun. As I sewed these blocks, the color combos made each one a little surprise, and I love them all.
I gave this quilt three borders. The white one in the middle gives it a little bit of a floating effect.
I quilted in a loopy meander over the entire quilt with white Aurifil thread.
I used Hobbs 80/20 Bleached Cotton Batting. It quilts wonderfully and gives a nice soft feel to the quilt.
This block has a purple and blue fabric combo. Notice the curvy wave purple border fabric on the left.
I used Schmetz needles for all the piecing and quilting. They are the best!
I love this gorgeously bright Island Batik fabric on the back, as well.
This quilt looks right at home on my front porch swing. I'm sure I'll be using it as soon as the weather warms up a bit. We are expecting snow this weekend.
Pretty folds!
