Love Patchwork & Quilting Peach Pinwheels Quilt

One of my favour­ite quilt­ing magazines is Love Patch­work & Quilt­ing.  I’ve loved it since it first came out and eagerly await its arrival at my loc­al news­agent each month.  There are always so many awe­some pro­jects and I just love how bright and happy each issue is.  With all that in mind, I’m hop­ing you’ll be able to tell how happy and excited I am to be able to share the quilt I made for the latest issue with you all!

Hanging about on page 64 of Issue 35 is the Peach Pin­wheels quilt I made way back at the start of this year using these gor­geous navy and peach prints from Dear Stella.    If you fol­low me on Ins­tagram, you’ve prob­ably picked up on the fact that I have a bit of a thing for navy, peach and cor­al.   It’s one of my favour­ite col­our stor­ies and I think it looks great in quilts and clothes and…everything!

The over­sized blocks in Peach Pin­wheels are a twist on the tra­di­tion­al ‘Hope of Hart­ford’ block.   It’s a stun­ning block but, sewn in its ori­gin­al form, it has some tricky bits so I updated the piecing to make it a whole heap easi­er and, a whole lot bigger!

Diane from Diane’s Quilt­ing Quest quilted this for me using this per­fect cable design.  It’s over­sized just like the blocks which works per­fectly don’t you think?!?

Issue 35 went on sale in the UK last week so should start appear­ing around the rest of the world very soon.   If you’re like me and can­’t wait, you can down­load a digit­al ver­sion through the Apple News­stand or Google Play.  You can also sub­scribe to Love Patch­work so that future issues come dir­ectly to your door by click­ing here.

Thanks for stop­ping by!
