Purple and Gray 25 Squared Quilt


This quilt was finished weeks ago and I can't believe I am barely getting around to taking pictures of it and getting it posted.  I went though a circle kick and decided to quilt giant circles across this quilt.  This quilt is made using my 25 Squared quilt pattern.  I am a huge fan of chopping things up into tiny pieces and then putting them back together.  For those that have followed for a long time this is the same pattern that I made my all lap quilt out of orange and gray.  I wanted to do one for my bed in orange and gray, but Tanya vetoed it.  Lucky for me, she does not hate purple and gray and now I have a pretty quilt out of that.


I love to piece my back, but for this quilt I used a fabric that had its own design it had gray dots (hence my decision to do circles) and they are dropping from both sides towards the middle.  My circles that I quilted all over started at their center with a cup I found in the kitchen and then just echoed outwards using my quilting arm on my machine.  After I got about 1/3 of the way done, I was tired of going round and round and remember why I don't do it a lot.


If you are interested in a free copy of this quilt pattern simply visit my pattern page on Craftsy and leave a nice comment their about the pattern and then come back here and leave me a message letting me know you did so.  Make sure to leave your email.  I have ran into a huge amount of people lately that are no reply bloggers making it hard to reply and give them their free patterns.

  6. OK, I love this one: the colors, the stylish pattern, the cornerstones and sashing, the way it all comes together so well. Bravo !~! A job well done. The dotty back is really cute too. I like the quilting as well.

    There's everything to love about this one, Richard.
