Blogger's Quilt Festival - Geometric Sewing Machine

Those who follow me on IG know that I'm kind of loving geometric patterns at the moment. It seemed only natural that a sewing machine silhouette was on the list to go all geometric. With the great excuse of having to come up with something for a swap (#alisonglassminiquiltswap for the curious), I got busy and came up with this!


This mini quilt is just filled with things I love. A vintage sewing machine, geometric design, rainbow (rainbow! who doesn't love rainbows?!) and Alison Glass's Sun Prints.



I finished it off with some straight line quilting, bound with some pretty Bike Path print and called it done!

The pattern for this is foundation paper pieced (no surprise there) and you can find it in my shop. And here's a little mockup of how the pattern might look in single colours too. For me, rainbow was clearly the winner. Because rainbow.


 

I'm linking this up in the Mini Quilt section for the Blogger's Quilt Festival. You can find more details about the festival here. Go check out all that pretty quilty eye candy! Have fun!

    these are wonderful. you did a fantastic job. My mom was called "our rainbow grandma" by all the grandkids. And she had a "rainbow" garden with a plaque one of my sister-in-laws made for her. Mom was all about color and putting them together. LOL guess that is where I get it from.

    I can't believe designing FPP is easy, so this is very impressive. Your choice of rainbow is perfect, but I bet an aqua machine would look lovely in my sewing room! Best of luck in the Quilt Festival. I think you have a winner!
