Razzle Dazzle, September 2026
What
a riot of color! I absolutely loved making this quilt from start to
finish.
The
Pine Island block is one die that I requested from Blue Wren several
years ago, and is based on a vintage design called Pine Burr.
For
this dazzling version, I pulled out all my favorite bright scraps to
combine with natural muslin. The piecing was done on Annie (Singer
221 Featherweight). It’s a bit more planned placement than some of
my remnant projects. With ivory thread, I used the scallop stitch on
my Janome to quilt in rows 2” apart.
Razzle
Dazzle is 53” square after adding a 2” dotted border. The backing
is a thrifted sheet of unequal stripes. I believe it’s one of my
best layouts this year. It’s hanging on the quilt rack in our
foyer, at least until the Christmas quilts appear...after
Thanksgiving.
