I was talking about this quilt in progress on another thread, and I do realize it is difficult to understand without a picture, so here it is.

The pattern is pickle dish, which has been around forever. I am making mine in an updated style out of batiks.

Interestingly, I have a quilt made by my grandmother circa 1945 that contains pickle dishes, so I've attached a picture of hers also. Hers is appliqued alternating Dresden Plates and Pickle Dishes, but mine will be totally pieced, including the abundance of curved pieces - not for the faint of heart.

Great looking pattern and fabrics. But....wow, so many curves!!! :shock: Do you have the Curve Master (??) foot? Phew...I would be in total panic if I had to do that many curves.

Thanks Dagny...pictures do help with understanding.

Kudos to you for mastering the curves via piecing!
It is a stunning work in progress and I also love it in the batiks.
What a treasure to have one your grandmother made

Dagny

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement.

I'm going to stop at my LQS tomorrow to see what Bernina foot might be best for the curves. I plan just to go slowly through it, keep a seam ripper handy, and stop if I get frustrated. I have plenty of the background fabric so if any of the bias edges stretch too badly, I'll just replace it.

I love it in the batiks. Great thinking out of the box. I may have to give it a go.
