Capture the flowing beauty and rich colors of the Southwest with Slot Canyon, an original art quilt pattern inspired by my sketches and photographs of Antelope Canyon in Arizona. The graceful curves and dramatic light of the canyon are translated into bold, contemporary fabric shapes that celebrate both the landscape and the quilting process.
This pattern introduces my Turned Edge Machine Piecing technique, a unique approach that combines the clean look of appliqué with the precision and durability of machine piecing. The result is a quilt with flowing organic lines and beautifully sculpted shapes that invite creative fabric and quilting choices.
Whether you're making your first art quilt or adding a new technique to your quilting toolbox, this pattern guides you through each step with detailed instructions and full-size printable pdf pattern. The design can also be created using traditional fused appliqué if you prefer.
The finished quilt measures 25" × 18", making it the perfect size for a wall hanging or to showcase your free-motion quilting.
