Bouncing Wedges

I have to thank Quilt Trends Magazine for doing such a great job styling my "Bouncing Wedges" quilt. The pattern for this quilt is in their summer issue which should be out soon.  The quilt is made with Dan Stiles Mod Squad fabric and some of the solids from the Birch Mod Basics.  Gotta love those solids!  They make those prints shine.
I made the quilt for Cynthia, of Birch Fabrics...actually I made two of them.  Both quilts are still with her in her shop.  I can't wait for them to come home again! Here are both color versions on display at Quilt Market in Kansas City.  I've been experimenting with lots of wedge based designs lately and I'm pretty happy with this one.
The quilting on both of these quilts is pretty intense and I think it adds so much to the design of the quilt.  Those lines are 1/4" apart.  Yikes!  Took me forever, but it was worth it.
I also love that Dan added this great bias stripe in his collecton.  You get the bias binding look without having to cut bias binding.  Gotta love that!
If you'd like my extra copy of Quilt Trends with the pattern for Bouncing Wedges, leave a comment today and I'll draw a winner Wednesday.
Comments are now closed...winner to be announced soon.

    I love how you've combined stripes, prints, and solids so effectively -- I always have trouble with mixing fabric prints. These quilts are great examples!
