Batik Winding Ways

Quilt Stats
Pattern Name: Winding Ways, Accuquilt die Dimensions: 75" X 59" Fabric source/name: all batiks, various manufacturer's Pieced and quilting by machine, SITD My brother is using a spare bedroom as a TV room. It has a large window and he asked me to make a quilt to block the sun. I have already installed a sun block curtain in the window, which really does the job, but this quilt will hang over the window opening. I don't think I would attempt curved piecing without precision die cuts! [ATTACH=CONFIG]538528[/ATTACH] |
What a beautiful quilt and a beautiful job of piecing. I shy away from curves but that secondary pattern sure makes perfect circles and is gorgeous in the colors you chose. He will love it.

Beautiful!!!!
|
Lovely quilt!
|
I adore winding ways and I love this! I haven't added it to my bucket list because the thought of cutting those pieces out just makes me cringe. But you solved that issue with accuquilt dies!
|
beautifully done
|
Gorgeous!!!
|
Nicely done. I have never tried curve piecing. Looks like you did an excellent job making this quilt. Love the fabric you used.
|
beautiful job!!!
|
It's fabulous!
|
I've always admired Winding Ways and you version is particularly beautiful! Nice work!
|
Beautiful!!!
|
Beautiful job!
|
I have always loved that pattern and your quilt is absolutely beautiful! Really, really love the colors and how you put them together.
|
Such a beautiful quilt.
|
It's beautiful. I have that die, but haven't used it yet
|
The fabrics are wonderful and you did a great job
|
Lovely work.
|
What a great quilt, masculine.
|
What a gorgeous quilt! And it's in my favourite autumn colours! :)
|
Really lovely! Love the colors, pattern and movement.
|
awesome quilt (or window covering)... wonderful fabric collection. I stay clear of curves but yours look great.
|
Great! I have that die too, but haven't tried it yet either....I watched a you tube from Quilting from the the Heartland, and although shar does not use a die, her sewing instructions are spot on...
|
Beautiful quilt. I really like the color combination; it is rather subtle and yet makes a beautiful statement. I do think the curved piecing with batiks is more of a challenge that regular quilting cottons because the tighter weave is less forgiving when pressing down the seams after stitching.
|
Nicely done.
|
stunning...not a batik lover, but this is really pretty
|
Did you use a curved piecing foot?

My brother actually was looking thru this book one day and saw one of the inspiration quilts, then asked me to make this one. I cut the pieces and he selected the 2 fabrics for every block. Then arranged the completed blocks on my design wall. The photo is so disappointing because a lot of the fabrics that look solid actually have subtle design. link to book: http://www.amazon.com/Winding-Ways-Q...s=winding+ways |
It's beautiful. I may have to check out the Winding Ways die.
|
Very pretty quilt. Love the colors.
|
Thanks, I just ordered the book! I've had this quilt on my "gotta make this" list for awhile. Yours is beautiful; love your fabric choices.
|
So well done! Your choice of colors blend beautifully!
|
It's a lovely quilt - lucky brother!
|
Wow --- that's really pretty!

Beautiful quilt.

You did a fine job of this, perfect fabric choices for a man cave.

Love the movement this design creates. Great color choices.
