Indigo Radial (No. 15)

A purple quilt with a three-quarter circle of striped teal and white wedges, and thin orange three-quarter circles.

I made this quilt as a pattern tester for Audrey Esarey of Cotton and Bourbon. The teal and white wedges are paper pieced and the rest of the pattern is cut with templates and pieced traditionally. You can get your own copy of this pattern here!

The color palette I chose was actually from a Curated Quilts mini challenge that I never had time to get to. Audrey writes great patterns, so I didn’t have to give too much feedback and I ended up with a fantastic mini quilt for my wall! If you want to try something that looks harder than it is, this is your pattern!
