This quilt uses charm squares and cream fabric to create seven-patch blocks that are assembled on point to form the quilt top. The blocks are made by pairing one 5-inch charm square with two 2.5-inch squares of the same print and adding cream sashing rectangles. Forty-one blocks are made total and arranged in rows with sashing and corner triangles to form the quilt top. Once assembled, the quilt is basted, quilted, and bound.

CHANDELIER quilt project | VANESSA GOERTZEN


quilted by | ABBY LATIMER

While I sew, I often watch – or listen – to a movie. One of my favorite feel-good movies, Pollyanna,
is one I used to watch at my grandma’s house in Colorado. I love the scene when Pollyanna visits
a recluse and notices rainbows on his walls. He explains to her that the crystals on his lamp act
as prisms, refracting the ordinary sunlight into little rainbows that dance throughout the room.
The look of this quilt magically changes, too, just by turning the blocks on point. This orientation
lets the light dance through the shapes in a completely different manner, giving it a modern twist.
