Custom Quilts

Pattern: Tropical Paradise

One day, while on hold on the phone, my focus shifted to my mesh basket of scraps and something struck me: lots of fabrics in compatible shades of yellows, grays and blacks that seemed destined to come together in a new quilt. An easy-to-assemble quilt pattern came to mind that uses 5 1/2” squares assembled on the diagonal. Fabric positioning for this quilt was determined based on the amount of available scrap. For a special touch, this quilt is finished with rounded corners, and a neat circular patterned backing. The idea for the rounded corners came from the lovely quilt calendar sent to me by a sweet West Coast friend.
