Take Time is a charming, whimsical 60" × 60" quilt designed around the simple pleasure of slowing down and enjoying the beauty of flowers.
The quilt features a garden theme, with colorful appliquéd flowers, a whimsical standing clock, and the words:
“Take time to stop and smell the flowers.”
Scattered throughout the quilt are numerous small pinwheels blocks, giving the piece a wonderful sense of movement and adding a playful, contemporary touch to the more traditional floral imagery. The small pieced blocks also create pathways that visually connect the various flowers and elements across the quilt.
The appliqué flowers are varied and cheerful—poppies, daisies, dahlias and other garden blooms—worked in a lively palette of purples, pinks, reds, greens, yellows and blues. The clock, surrounded by flowers, reinforces the theme of taking time to pause and appreciate the world around you.
Techniques: Appliqué and traditional piecing
Size: 60" × 60"
