Blue Onion
 

I have been looking for a curved pattern quilt and found it with Karla Alexander's Blue Onion. I was saving up fat quarters for a year and had such fun with making this.
What sold me on her template was her youtube; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiLxqJ4m4lQ i watched it multiple times and then finally attempted myself. Well the pieces went together so easily.
Can't wait to start another
Oh - and the best part - is there is only the one seam at each corner - no more matching curved seams!!

That is gorgeous!

A very modern art quilt. Love the fabrics you collected for this design. Great job!

Very pretty, your color choices are fabulous! Well done.

Cool pattern.

I love this. Is there another video showing how it’s sewn together?
(Anyone else cringe as she was cutting? That rotary cuter looked awfully close to her fingers!)

Love your choice of fabrics and your sewing is spot on. Great job on the curved piecing!

love it! great pattern and great colors!

Thanks for the link, I love curved piecing it’s so much fun. Have to go find the template and pattern on her website.

PurplePansies....I even said to my husband..."That's a recipe for cutting your fingertips off!"
I'd also like to see how it's sewn together.

Stunning
 

What a great job you did. It is beautiful! I never would have choice the pattern, but after seeing your quilt I want to make one. Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful!

Karla has a real quick tutorial for sewing the curved pieces https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LZ88wNAWII
If you thought she would slice her finger - watch what she uses to guide the fabric!!
Thank you for all your comments - it was such a fun quilt to make.

Love your quilt and Karla's books too! I have several. You've inspired me to dig them out.

This quilt looks pretty amazing. I like the fabric colors you chose too. Great work!

Amazing quilt and I love those colors.

Beautiful quilt top.

Beautifully done......

This is gorgeous! You did a fantastic job. And I love the colors and fabrics you selected. Have fun with the next one.

Wow. That is pretty!

I like this pattern but don't see anywhere on the site the template. I only see rulers. Am I missing something? or do you have to make your own template? I emailed them but haven't received an answer yet.

Do you need a special oval ruler to cut the pieces?

Love the pattern and the colors you chose. Great job!

This is beautiful! Great job!

Wow! Fantastic job. I love it.

Fantastic choice of color and pattern. Good job!
