Peppermint Quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
My version of a peppermint quilt that daughter wanted. It is paper pieced from Piece by Number. Called Swirligig, Version B. Daughter wanted red and I found the peppermint fabric for the sashing. The borders were going to be all peppermint but I measured wrong and decided not to waste and put the white square for the corner post. I will ask my la to put something in red on it and I think it will be ok looking. I am happy with it.

Lots of motion going on in there, looks like a fun quilt. I agree that a little touch of red in the corners will be perfect.

Yes, there is a lot of motion going on. Daughter wanted red in the squares - I would have preferred white and trimmed out with the peppermint. Sometimes we just have to think outside the box. What we think will be iffy is sometimes what another creative person wants - so we just go with the flow.

great, the touch of red in the corners will be perfect.
the white corner blocks mimic the white squares in the sashing very well.

My DD is just recently looking at things in my quilting room.... she has loved my quilts through the years and has many of them... but she made 4 placemats recently with the DP4 block.... and after she machine quilted them in the ditch... she said.... Mom ... I can't believe you give your quilts away after all this work! Her colour choices aren't mine, but I am so proud of her and love it when we all come up with just our little "own" touches.

I love your quilt and I had to look close because it could pass for a twister quilt. Very Nice quilt and love the name.

Its a very happy quilt with all the pops of color. You are so talented.

QuiltnNan 10-26-2015 03:21 AM

nicely done, good solution on the corners

sewnsewer2 10-26-2015 03:33 AM

Nice job! It's really cute!!

Cute quilt for sure. One idea it to asked the quilter to mimic the peppermint candy motif-only larger- in the corners. I know your daughter will enjoy it.

annette1952 10-26-2015 04:41 AM

Such a beautiful top. Very nice job. Thanks for sharing.

Your "flow" is very active and charming.

mjhaess 10-26-2015 06:10 AM

That is cute.....

StrayCat 10-26-2015 06:15 AM

OOOooo, so nice. I'm about to start learning all about paper piecing, and this one looks fairly easy. I hope you show us what your LA does in the corners! I would be tempted to applique something there.

Too Cool. Looks like all you need are the cellophane wrappers

ccthomas 10-26-2015 06:07 PM

Nice quilt.

ukdame 10-26-2015 07:08 PM

Very nice design and your color coordinating right on :)

gramquilter2 10-27-2015 01:39 PM

really like that pattern and the colors you used

Greenheron 10-27-2015 09:29 PM

What a happy combination--modern with a traditional feel.

Swirligig, indeed! It looks like windmills blowing all over the place.
