Hi friends,
Today I am sharing another quilt made with the Modern Handcraft Palette Picks Bundle for Robert Kaufman fabrics, the Pivot quilt.

The Pivot quilt is one of my first patterns, and the first of my patterns using a curve shape - many of you have told me that it was your intro into sewing with curves! This is such a versatile quilt - it looks amazing in solids, patterns, scrappy - you find a bundle of fabric, it will likely work with the Pivot quilt.

I knew that I wanted to try out the palette picks bundle and this pattern and make it kind of a scrappy look against a black Essex linen, and I love how it turned out! Read along as I tell you which fabrics I used and how you can make a palette picks Pivot quilt of your own!
Fabric Information:

The Pivot quilt comes in 6 sizes:
- Baby 40" x 50"
- Throw 60" x 70"
- Twin 70" x 90"
- Full 80" x 90"
- Queen 90" x 90"
- King 100" x 100"
Sine we are working with a throw size for this Pivot quilt, we only need 14 of the 20 fat quarters in the Modern Handcraft Palette Picks bundle and 2 1/2 yards of background material. Click on links to shop.
Background: Essex YD Black
Backing: Kona Steel
Binding: Essex YD Classic large stripe black
Pivot colors used: (only 14 are required for this pattern, I added an extra to add some more color variety)
- Essex YD Classic small stripe black
- Essex YD Classic large stripe black
- Kona Pepper
- Kona Geranium
- Kona Gumdrop
- Kona Ballerina
- Essex Hot Pink
- Kona Dragonfruit
- Kona Peach
- Kona Nectarine
- Kona Roasted Pecan

- Essex Tomato

Any time I can use Essex YD black in a quilt I jump at the chance, this and Kona white are my basics.
Quilting Information:

I kept it pretty basic for this quilt - and did straight line quilting, 3/4" spacing using a charcoal thread to blend in nicely with the Essex background and the Kona Steel backing.


Finished Quilt:
