If you are here from Blogger's Quilt Festival, welcome!
Delta Breeze might be one of my favorite quilts I've made this year.
I received a stack of Soho Solids from Timeless Treasures in a beautiful range of colors, and then added some of their neutrals as well (more details here).
The original inspiration came from pew upholstery in a church Mark and I visited in spring. It might not look too inspiring at first glance, but it reminded me of classic bear paw blocks, two different sizes and turned every which way.
You can even make your own version. There is a tutorial on the Timeless Treasures blog.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are enjoying the show.

SO lovely- I love those colours together! And doesn't the quilting add an extra dimension to it! I'm surprised you didn't call it Periwinkle!

ReplyDeleteSi really like your quilt! I am amazed that you got the inspiration from that upholstery! I really don't see it and your quilt is a tremendous improvement!

Beautiful design! I love this quilt! What a fun inspiration shot too.
ReplyDeleteOh it's lovely. I would never have thought of combining those colours, but you've really made them work. I love how the quilting stands out too. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is so fun! The bear paw block is a fun block anyway, but to see how you used the color and size to spice it up...It really adds to the party.
