Patterns, patchworks and projects
I’ve only seen Joan Lintault’s art quilts in books, and even then I’m awestruck. So, if you happen to be in Vermont or can visit this fall don’t miss Joan Lintault’s exhibit at the Shelburne Museum. Besides the artist’s work, this exhibit includes quilts Joan has collected over the years, quilts that influenced her work. Runs through October 30, 2011.
If you’ve ever fallen in love with the look of perfectly pieced circles in a quilt but, like me, struggle to cut and sew them with precision, then the Wild Blooms Quilt Pattern is going to feel like a game-changer. This stunning pattern, available as a digital download from Connecting Threads, offers a clever and approachable way to incorporate circular motifs into your quilting projects without the stress.
Circles can be intimidating—let’s be honest. They’re beautiful, bold, and add a dynamic element to any quilt, but cutting and piecing them neatly? That’s a whole different story. Enter the Wild Blooms Quilt Pattern, which uses a combination of clever design and straightforward techniques to give you that rounded aesthetic without the fuss. This pattern is perfect for quilters who want the wow factor of circles but prefer a less technical approach.
What I particularly love about this pattern is how it balances simplicity and sophistication. The playful use of color and layout creates a quilt that feels modern and fresh, while the design elements allow for plenty of creative expression. Whether you’re a beginner looking to tackle your first ambitious project or an experienced quilter wanting to try something new, this pattern has something for everyone.

The Wild Blooms Quilt Pattern is proof that you don’t need advanced cutting or piecing skills to achieve a show-stopping quilt. It’s a perfect blend of creativity and accessibility, making it ideal for anyone who loves the idea of circular designs but dreads the precision work they typically require.
As someone who has always admired circle quilts from afar, this pattern gave me the confidence to try one myself—and the results were more than worth it. With its easy-to-follow instructions and modern design, the Wild Blooms pattern offers endless possibilities for customization and truly brings out the joy of quilting.
So, if you’ve been on the fence about adding circles to your quilting repertoire, let this be the pattern that changes your mind. Download it today, pick out your favorite fabrics, and get ready to create a quilt that’s as fun to make as it is to admire. You won’t regret it!

People should be aware that many roads in Vermont are washed out and some towns are still isolated, except for emergency vehicles. If you’re planning to see this exhibit in the near future you should call ahead to check to see if the route you intend to take is safe and passable.
