Cartwheels Quilt
Completed: May 2017
Pattern: Cartwheels Quilt by Lee Heinrich of Freshly Pieced
Quilt Size: 60 X 70”; 57 x 66.5” after shrinking
Block Size: 12” finished paper-pieced squares
Fabric: Shibori collection by Debbie Maddy of Calico Carriage Quilt Designs for Moda
Technique: Paper pieced blocks onto Stable Stuff Polly sheets that did not have to be removed after piecing. Quilted pieced blocks and sashing strips onto batting in sections using spiral and straight-line quilting. Attached sections together using a modified quilt-as-you-go technique. Attached pieced backing by stitching in the ditch. Hand stitched binding.
Notes: This quilt was my first attempt at foundation paper piecing. It's at the foot of the bed in our third floor guest room which is also used as my sewing studio because of the abundance of natural light.
