Half
Circle Mirror combines paper pieced blocks and negative space for a dramatic,
geometric quilt design.
For my version
of Half Circle Mirror, I used Kona Cotton Solids by Robert Kaufman in Pepper, Charcoal, Titanium, and White.
Johellen George of Cabin Quilt Studio did the beautiful quilting on this quilt. She is a member of one of my local guilds and does amazing work. I think that the quilting is reminiscent of the surface of a lake which plays well with the reflection theme of the piecing design.
The quilt is paper pieced, I really like designing paper pieced patterns as you can create so many different angles and quilt blocks. With all of the negative space it was not too much paper piecing to do :)
I love the Make Modern magazine, the magazine is so full of great quilts and inspiration. There are 14 projects in this issue as well as other features and articles. Check out Make Modern Issue 12!
