This is my "Slow Dance" quilt, and is featured in this May 2015 American Quilter magazine.
This quilt was inspired by the traditional Tennessee Waltz pattern, with a few modifications.
You might recognize the design from another quilty friend of mine, Lee of Freshly Pieced, because she has an almost identical pattern. She and I made the quilts completely separately of one another -- just both liked the way the clever piecing creates the illusion of curves! (And Lee uses paper piecing for part of hers, while I use templates and rotary cutting). My quilt was slated to be published in an upcoming magazine, and she used hers for the DS solids competition -- no bad feelings or scandal here... we assure you! :)
For quilting, I did swirls in the white negative space, and an orange peel type design in the colored diamonds. This is absolutely one of my favorite quilts!
This is the palette inspiration for my color choices (from design seeds.com), along with the backing fabric (my favorite!)
This quilt has happily lived on our couch for months! We love it!
I have a few extra copies of the magazine (I'm also posting on IG), but you can email me here if you'd like one! $6 + $2.50 shipping
