Pivot Quilt - Petunia Version

Posted by Nicole Daksiewicz on February 10, 2023

Hi friends,

Today I am sharing a new quilt finish and a favorite pattern I haven't sewn up in a while - the Petunia version of my Pivot quilt.

Pivot Quilt - Petunia Version by Modern Handcraft

Petunia is a new line by Kimberly Kight for Ruby Star Society and it's full of fun florals, ladybugs and turnips! The color palette can be used all together or split in half for a pink and orange palette and a softer blue and purple palette. I decided to use them all to create a fun rainbow flow of shapes on my Pivot throw quilt!

Fabrics Used:

A throw size Pivot pattern calls for 14 fat quarters - I decided to use pieces from each fabric in the line so there will be leftover fabrics if you choose to use a fat quarter bundle.

Pivot shapes: Petunia Fat Quarter Bundle

Background fabric: Petunia Buttercream Springs Yardage

Backing and Binding fabric: Petunia Macaron Paper Garden Yardage

Quilting info:

For my quilting I used my Janome 6700p sewing machine and the curvy stitch option - I believe that is stitch number 8. Make your width 9 and increase your stitch length to 2.5 or 3 - I also recommend using your walking foot and guide bar for this stitch - I kept my guide bar at 3/4" spacing from the top of the last lines curve.

Pictures of the Finished Quilt:

I had so much fun playing with the layout on this particular quilt and how I wanted to have my color order go. Since there were fewer shades of the rust color I thought it would make a great starting point in the top corner of the quilt.

The yellow / orange shade is probably my favorite of the bunch.

I would also like to introduce our newest family member, meet Pepper! He just turned 5 months old and is a pomeranian. When we first brought him home he only weighed 2 pounds and had to wear a guinea pig coat to stay warm on our walks. He is now almost 5 pounds and has brought us so much joy. He has some nice clean paws on the quilt for a quick photo - I think he enjoyed the extra attention at his first photo shoot.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today friends! If you are interested in making your own Pivot quilt here is a link to the ready to download PDF pattern and the printed pattern.

Happy Sewing!

Nicole

I love this quilt! The fabric is a perfect choice. I may just have to make one. Love it so much!

Very pretty quilt, and it is always fun to see a beloved pattern done in a gradient and a different style of fabric. I also love how the modern pattern and prints go so well with the white quilted pillows. But, that little dog Pepper is quite the show stealer, lol!
