Tilted Spools

This quilt is called Tilted Spills designed by Cyndi Walker from her book Pretty Patchwork Quilts: Traditional Patterns with Applique Accents. It is such a fun pattern - looks like stars at first glance, but then you realize it is a fun take on the classic spool block.

I used up a bunch of my low volume scraps for the background and a bunch of my favorite bright scraps for the spools. The original pattern did not have a border, but I felt it was a wee bit too small and wanted it bigger, so I added the turquoise pearl bracelets.



I quilted Orange Peels all over the quilt...I think it turned out beautifully! And yes I used my Handi Quilter Pro-Stitcher for this one =)

I also went ahead and used the pearl bracelets on the back (and I will use it for the binding - when I get around to that =)
