Tropical Punch

Tropical Punch, Useful Remnants 2022
It's a sunny Monday here in Tennessee, but a freeze is due tonight. This week's quilt is meant to chase the chills away.


Eye-catching tropical prints and bright solids combine beautifully in orange peel blocks. Most of the fabrics were gifted to me (Thanks, Mary!) and the rest came from my remnant boxes.


Tropical Punch is 48” square. I enjoyed sewing the curvy pieces and arranging the layout on my design wall. I quilted with white thread in a straight stitch, following the curves to accentuate the design.




Y'all have a good week!


Dies used:
Blue Wren 6616 Orange Peel 6”
