Last month, I made my favorite quilt ever…..until this month. I have finished my Phased Circles quilt. I love this quilt so much, as my vision with my design came together so well, better than I could have dreamed.
I used 30 different Carolyn Friedlander prints, mixed from her Botanics and Architexture lines…can you believe it, that did not use all the prints of hers I own (yes, I might have a slight fabric crush).
The solids were all Kona cottons and most of them were from the new colors – Curry, Prussian, Breakers, Torch, Valentine and lastly Wasabi.
The colors from these fabrics worked so well together. Here is a close-up of the center blocks. If you are interested in how I made these blocks, here is the tutorial.
For the back, I am using some of the gray, black and white prints of Carolyn’s lines, with just some simple piecing. I plan on doing straight line quilting to finish.
Linking up with Jo @ Riddle and Whimsy for TGIFF and Amanda Jean @ Crazy Mom Quilts for Finish it up Friday.

This is such a pretty quilt! Lots of fun colors, fabrics and shapes to look at! I can’t wait to see how you quilt it.
It looks amazing, Michelle, you did a great job translating the idea to reality.
That’s too gorgeous to hide in a bedroom, it needs to go on the wall!
I have a crush on Carolyn’s fabrics too, although I only have a handful of her architectures collection. Well done getting the quilt from conception to completion.
What a great design! Congrats on beautiful finish.
I am in love with this!
The colors are fabulous in this and I totally share your crush!! 🙂
I love this quilt top! The design is fantastic. I really like how you incorporated the stripes into the border.
This is gorgeous! I love the colors and the design! It all comes together so well! 🙂
I have professed my love before, and I will do it again. The fabric, the colors, the shapes and the design. All fabulous. This quilt makes my eyes happy.
This is just such a cool quilt. I love Carolyn’s fabrics, but I was so busy staring at the shapes, I almost didn’t notice what it was made of. (I swear that’s a compliment.)
This is simply wonderful!
Stunning and well done! Really fun colors. I am looking forward to seeing it continue to progress. 🙂
This is a really stunning quilt. At first glance I thought you had used all solids but then I saw all the texture in the blocks from the wonderful Architextures and Botanics and they just add so very much to the design.
This quilt makes me like Curry!!! 😀 Absolutely stunning, amazing, gorgeous… and more, my thesaurus just isn’t handy. Really love this one!
Brilliant! Such an expressive design! Love this all!
You have a crush on CF prints and I have a crush on this quilt. It’s wonderful. Love the varying hues, the prints and solids, the design and composition. Fabulous.
I couldn’t help saying aloud, when I opened your blog this morning, “That’s stunning!”. So, although I promised myself I would never join the “Oh-that’s-lurvely!” Brigade, here I am!
Beautiful! I love the fabrics.
This quilt is friggin fabulous. The pattern, the colours and the curved piecing!!! You are so very clever.
Hello! New reader, and just wanted to say I absolutely love this quilt! You clever cookie.
I am really looking forward to seeing the quilting you do on this, Michelle! Love seeing the process so far from a sketch all the way to this!
LOVE this…the colours are fab!!
