Wild Oranges: Sew Quadrant 4

In this final week of the Wild Oranges sew-along we’re sewing the last quadrant and completing quilt tops. Before long you can be snuggling under your very own Wild Oranges quilt. I wish you luck and perseverance in the finishing process.

Don’t miss the fantastic Grand Prize giveaway!!!

Not sewing along? You can still enjoy the view from our hashtag #WildOrangesQuilt. I don’t think you’ll be able to choose just one favorite.

Week 5: Sew Quadrant 4

Gather up your cut ovals and press every last orange peel shape.

Sometimes I let my mind wander and turn over thoughts and ideas as I do such quiet, meditative work. Other times I put on an audiobook and let the author carry me away. Whatever your groove, I hope that your enjoy making this final quarter of the Wild Oranges quilt.

Quadrant 4 is heavy with orange peel blossoms. They really are such pretty things, aren’t they?

The reward for your efforts is sewing the quadrants together into a finished quilt top at last! And what a beauty it’s sure to be. I love, love the energy and movement of this quilt design. I think it looks gorgeous from every angle and no matter how it lays. What do you think of your Wild Oranges rendition?

I can’t wait to see your finished quilt tops begin cropping up on Instagram!
