tsuru mini

our guild had a swap this last month. we {secretly} chose a name card that had a room on it and perhaps a favorite color or theme. we were to make an item for that room; the room-by-room swap.
my partner wanted a wall hanging for her wine cellar. i was drawn to circles for inspiration. i had just gotten these templates for quarter circles. what a better time to try them out.

since there was no specific color inspiration mentioned, i picked some fabric i had on hand and that were out of my normal range of comfort level. i really love how it turned out! i wish i had a few more solid color choices, but now i know to stock up.

this was my first time making a small quilt for hanging. i put little triangle sleeves on all corners so she could pick the way it hung.

i went back and forth about quilting options, pretty dead set on doing some sort of radiating circle from the middle. in the end, i went with straight 1/2" lines. i do love me some line quilting.
