Today's featured quilt was inspired by the quarter circle or drunkard's path shapes. Seen another way, these resemble three-quarters Dresden wheels. We love the complimentary colors and improvisational piecing! Also scroll down for two FREE patterns for Dresden wheel quilts.
Round Trip by Mary Landon (Florida) @addictedtofabric
Mary Landon says she began piecing these blocks improvisationally, but then switched to newspaper foundations. She says, [I'm] "still trying to use up scraps, this time green, pink and blue." The background was improvisationally pieced as well.The techniques used include machine piecing, improvisational piecing, and machine quilting on a longarm.
Photos of Round Trip by Mary Landon were taken by Quilt Inspiration at the 2025 QuiltCon show. For similar (but conventionally-pieced) designs, check out the FREE patterns below!
