Juggle

Between Christmas and New Year I pieced a Juggle quilt using Scrumptious by Bonnie and Camille.


I started with two Scrumptious Honeycombs then cut the extra hexagons I needed from yardage. The Honeycombs come with a plastic template which is easy to trace around. I started off using one as a ruler but after slicing a bit of one side I decided it was safer and more accurate to trace first then cut!



The white background fabric is Moda Bella Solids 9900-98.


The Juggle quilt is part of Camille's Craftsy class Playful Piecing Techniques and I really enjoyed watching the class as I worked on the quilt. Camille had some really useful tips which helped make sure everything lined up properly. There was a little 'reverse' sewing but that was due to my 'perfectionist' tendencies.


I made my quilt bigger than Camille's original pattern adding an extra row for a more symmetrical look.


I loved every minute of making this quilt and hope to make another sometime soon.


Now I just have to organise some backing fabric and send it off to be quilted.

 
Having finished this top it was only right that I should start another!. Come back soon for some Swoon.
