It’s the classic orange peel block with a modern twist! Wild Oranges is an appliqué quilt suitable for those new to appliqué. It can be completely machine sewn with no need to piece curved seams! Suitable for a confident beginner.

This flexible pattern offers multiple levels of color challenge, depending upon how you use the materials supplied. As part of my Color Mentor pattern series, it explores color design concepts - in this case analogous color schemes and value in quilt-making.

Color Mentor :: Level 1 ::

COLOR Careful - Helping you Explore Color

The pattern cover quilt features the Kismet collection by Sharon Holland for Art Gallery Fabrics. Quilt kits are available at Winter Creek Cloth and Sojo Fabric. When using the quilt kit, this is a Level 1 pattern. You can learn by following my example without taking risks.

Color Mentor :: Level 2 ::

COLOR Curious - Experiences to Broaden your Horizons

The pattern includes very detailed fabric requirement and fabric placement instructions. You can choose your own colors and fabrics, but follow the highly detailed quilt maps to place those fabrics as shown. The print and value relationships that make the sample quilt so charming will thus easily carry over into your new Wild Oranges iteration.

Color Mentor :: Level 3 ::

COLOR Confident - Challenges for the Colorful Soul

Do you have experience using value in quilt-making? Work more intuitively with your unique fabrics by choosing the placement of prints yourself. You can reference the simplified quilt maps, which only indicate value, to maintain the dynamic layout of Wild Oranges.

Templates are included for cutting and pressing the orange peel shapes.

Quilt sizes included:

• Throw 60” x 69”

• Baby 40” x 40”
