Spinout Reveal!

Well, today's my reveal day, and I get to show you all what my final Spinout quilt top looks like:


I loved doing this one in batiks, they're so nice to sew on, they don't fray much, and you don't have to be careful of wrong-side or right-side up. It seems when I sew with white-on-white fabric, I always get one square or triangle wrong-side up; by the time I notice it's wrong, it's buried deep in the piecing where it'd take a lot of unsewing to get to it.

The inside of this quilt, Spinout, was designed by Barbara Cline, and if you follow the link, you can get a copy of the magazine with the quilt pattern in it. It's the July/August 2011 issue.

Diane Harris, of Quiltmaker magazine, is blogging about the Scrap Squad's interpretation of the Spinout pattern, and she did a very nice blogpost about my quilt, go look! Lots more details there, and you can also use links to see other Scrap Squad versions of the same pattern:

I also made a tutorial on my website to show people how I made the seminole border—or you could call it a bargello-type border too.

Here's a closeup of the border I did:

Now I need to get to work on the next Scrap Squad assignment. This has been so much fun—to get the patterns before anyone else does,and try it in different fabrics. :)

Your blog is so nice! I like how your little pictures change- however I was looking at your "depression . . ." quilt, clicked on something else and then it was gone. &:-D I liked that design- where can I see it again? Wish I could go whip it up in my sewing room! Super-duper work on Spinout! Really lovely!
