Pedal to the Metal

I have always loved batik fabrics.  I had originally used these fabrics when making the cover quilt for the Highway 10 Designs "Not Your Mother's Rail Fence" pattern.  See it here.  I had some good sized pieces remaining.   I had just the right amounts of these these fabrics to put together this Pedal to the Metal quilt - another Highway 10 Designs pattern.

This pattern utilizes strip piecing and there are no points to match so it really comes together quickly and is a relaxing sew.  I chose the Cinnamon Swirl pantograph which shows up wonderfully on the purple Cuddletex backing.

I didn't have enough of a single fabric to make the binding so I used two different fabrics in about 20" segments to finish this one off.

I donated this quilt to the Quilts for Wildfire Relief effort that is planning to gift a quilt to each of the 235 households that lost a home in the fire in Denare Beach Saskatchewan in 2025.

Pedal to the Metal - King Size!

This quilt was made by daughter Kyla as a gift for her Mother-in-law and Father-in-law.  Kyla knew she wanted to use one of our Highway 10 Designs patterns and after going fabric shopping decided to go the Pedal to the Metal.

This quilt is a generous King Size coming in at 110" x 110"   The fabrics are some Northcott favorites - a Stonehenge mixer and a Canvas to match.

Kyla selected the Tickle pantograph which adds some softness and movement.

Amd more Stonehenge one the back.

Pedal to the Metal uses the magic of strip piecing to make a very large quilt an enjoyable and manageable experience even with a toddler at home and returning to work full time!
