The Steam Punk quilt by Jen Kingswell is a lovely quilt. See pic below.
However, I’m running out of steam and I’m keen to wrap this one up so I’ve been playing around with the layout. What do you think?
The reason I’ve gone for on point, as per the original, is that it looks more like a wheel that way. When you see the blocks square on they look more like pizza slices (this was pointed out to me by several people on FaceBook). Here is a selection of my blocks so you can see what I mean.
Maybe they’ll look less pizza-like when they have the central circle appliqués on? It’s so hard to decide!

I think the reason they reminded me of pizza is that I’ve been craving pizza, but have tried not to give in. It can get expensive, and it’s not good for me….. 8-/
You’re not the only one who mentioned it Linda. And once it was mentioned then I could see it too. 🙂
I like your version 🙂
Thanks Pennie. 🙂
I like the on point setting in the original pattern much better than a straight setting and the sashing gives the blocks more definition. But your variation is potentially very interesting. It has a more modern look and leaves space for your lovely hand-quilting.
Thanks Dot. I’m not committed to this pattern yet. I have also been playing around with some variations that are not on point. However, I want to wait until I’ve got a few of them with the centre circles on first so I can get a good idea of how will look.
