Tilt-a-Whirl

So colorful! This design recalls the colorful views of a carnival as one rides a twirly wild ride. This improvisational quilt by Hannah Parks was machine pieced, hand appliqued and hand quilted.

This small quilt arose out of two individual ideas. The first project was an improvisationally-pieced swirl, made during a playful afternoon of sewing. The second project was an experiment in color-blocking: Hannah compiled a list of pieced grid styles, then matched them to pairs of colors. The swirl and the grids then came together on her design wall. 

Hannah Parks now resides in Peacham, Vermont.  Check out her portfolio on her website and at Instagram!
