ORANGE PEEL QUILT



At long last the Orange Peel quilt I started for my mother-in-law is finished, scalloped border and all.

I started this quilt over a year ago but found the applique technique fiddly, so back into the UFO pile it went.  The fabric line is Bluebell (discontinued).  There are so many other gorgeous blue/white fabric lines available right now that if you want to make a blue/white quilt it would be hard to decide what to use.

 
 
My talented friend Reggie quilted this for me and did a great job.  I like the way the scalloped border echoes the rounded movement of the quilt center. 
 
Next I will embellish a small quilt I made last summer.  If I keep working I should catch up with myself by mid Summer!!
 
 
Wishing you happy quilting!

  3. Did you applique the orange peels on a background fabric or did you use a template which is cut and sewed together to make a block? If you used the template where did you find it?
