Round About Quilt Pattern

The Round About Quilt Pattern by Saginaw Street Quilts is a fresh, contemporary design that celebrates movement, colour, and flow through beautifully curved piecing.
Bold circular pathways swirl and loop across the quilt top, transforming simple fabric contrasts into a visually dynamic and modern quilt.
Unlike tight or intimidating curves, the arcs in Round About are long, gentle, and forgiving, making this an excellent introduction to curved piecing.
Blocks come together smoothly and rhythmically, allowing quilters to focus on colour play and layout rather than precision stress.
This pattern is designed for use with the Creative Grids Circle Savvy Ruler, which makes cutting consistent curves fast, accurate, and approachable - even for quilters new to sewing curves.
Perfect for solids, batiks, blenders, bold prints, or curated fabric bundles, Round About adapts effortlessly to a wide range of styles, from minimalist modern to vibrant scrappy quilts.
