Juggling Act Finale
Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of testing a pattern for Twiggy & Opal, and that pattern was Juggling Act. Today I want to show you my Juggling Act finale – my completely finished quilt.
Juggling Act is a fast, fun and versatile quilt pattern. The baby quilt size can easily be pieced in a couple of days, maybe less if you have uninterrupted sewing time. It lends itself well to solids or patterns. I made my baby quilt version using a low volume background (Architextures, Carolyn Friedlander) and prints from my stash. The quilt backing and binding is Grunge in Key Lime. The finished quilt measures 43-1/2 x 49-1/2 inches.
I handed my quilt off to Connie and she suggested this fun design. I love the way it echoes the circle blocks. It just seems to fit, don’t you think?
BigJ and I had fun taking Juggling Act out on a photo shoot. It was a nice day, the sun was shining, and there was a gentle-ish breeze. For this photo, we were trying to get the full phrase “no parking” in the photo, but I think the way it turned out fits quite well, don’t you?
This won’t be my last Juggling Act finale. I have two fat quarter bundles being considered for this pattern.
I’m linking up today with:

Love the O parking — It’s perfect! Nice job balancing all the colors. I think that can be the real juggling act with a quilt like this with large blocks of color. These are such happy colors! Lime green is one of my favorites.

Hi Wendy! What a fun quilt and just the perfect name for it as well. That festive lime green binding really gives the whole piece a pop and pulls those fabrics out just a wee bit more. The quilting pattern!! Perfect for this as well – I love the whole thing. Great job – I’m heading off to Jayne’s website now for more details. Take care! ~smile~ Roseanne

I saw the parking lot photo before I read your accompanying text and I assumed the O parking was on purpose! Great serendipity! This is fun and I really like the lime green binding.
Diann Bottrell
That turned out great, Wendy – so fun and bright! And I love your lime green binding! This looks like the perfect pattern for a fat quarter bundle. It also looks like it was easy and quick to make. Did you enjoy being a pattern tester? That’s something I’ve never done.

I see fruit loops, just saying. You did a great job with Jayne’s pattern which would make a fun and easy Sistas QAL, eh?

Ooh, terrific quilt, Wendy! I’m enjoying finding out what secret sewing you have been up to. And yes! on the “O” Parking!! You know how much I love quilts in the wild photo shoots.

Love your Juggling Act! It’s such a fun, happy, quilt. And of course your juggler is out in the street buscing. Did he get any money?

So fun! Love the quilting design and parking lot photo! Nice finish!

Oh yes that key lime Grunge is just the perfect touch. What a pretty quilt, and that quilting just sets it off. It’s a great testament to the pattern maker when you want to make another from the same pattern.

Gorgeous pattern, quilt and quilting. A winner all around.

The O parking photo is perfect! Congrats on a very bright and fun finish!
