This Mennonite quilt is so carefully and thoughtfully composed.   It has been referred to as a “triumph of original applique design” and rightly so. 

 

Notice how the red and purple grapes are distributed around the wheels to harmoniously sit with the adjacent wheel.    There is just a wee bit of variation between how the sawtooth triangles are placed in the wheel, which is just enough to keep the design visually engaging.

 

That outer border … notice how the two vines meet at the top and bottom.  Fun!

 

And those little teardrop applique shapes, with some almost shaped like small paisleys … swoon!

 

This quilt has a binding cut on the straight-of-gain, for those who are keeping track of the bias vs. straight-of-grain debate. 

 

It is such a visual feast!  What is your favourite part of this quilt and why?
