We’re celebrating 15 years of patchwork paradise with 15 of our most beloved patterns. This week’s remake is the Orange Peel.
According to legend, the Orange Peel was inspired by the French Marquis de Lafayette. At a banquet celebrating American independence, he sliced an orange into four parts and removed the peels. Those petal-shaped peels caught the eye of a certain quilter. (Thank goodness!) 250 years later, the Orange Peel quilt is still a favorite!
This week, Jenny is using precut Kaffe Fassett fabrics and easy applique to whip up an Orange Peel that would make the marquis proud!

To make even faster: When you finish cutting out the interfacing petals (I do 10 layers at a time), leave them stacked and use the rotary cutter to make the little slit in the middle of the whole pile at once. It saves you doing them one at a time with scissors.

Another way to make it easier is don't cut your 10 inch background square. Just fold it in half both directions. You can use your fold lines to place the four orange peels on the 10 inch square. Then you only have ten inch blocks to sew together instead of four-5 inch blocks.

Where would we all e w/o MSQC & such talented quilters!? The only tip I have when making an orange peel quilt is, and I’m sure someone else has already mentioned this but, I sew my orange peels onto a 10” square, instead of 5” squares, it takes out the steps of having to sew the, on 5” squares and then having to sew those together. Happy sewing❤

If you keep your pointer tool only on the fabric fold and not the interfacing fold, the interfacing will never tear. Awesome hints in this group of comments. Thanks to everyone, woohoo. I've been too 🐔 to sew this quilt because I too thought it was all curves to sew. The new simplicity you two have done it in has opened up a world of peels now. This should also be in the triple play so we can see ideas you there ladies come up with. Even a mini orange peel project.

if you want a quicker way to get this same look you could fuse 4 petals on a 10' precut white background. This would give you far fewer seams and only 5 blocks across the top and 7 down

Yes but don't forget the seam allowance, so maybe 9 1/2" background square instead to keep the pattern touching

This is such a fun pattern! Diagonal ombre, print background and solid peels. Endless possibilities! You could use a 10 in block fold on the diagonal and place the peels on the fold. Stitch in place and sew the larger 10 in blocks together.

Wonderful tutorial. So many helpful comments making this great quilt even easier! I found that by stacking a few layers of my layer cake, I could cut 5 orange peels from each 10-inch square - a little twisting and turning does the trick.

@HRHDMKYT Жыл бұрын

I love 💕 the look of an Orange Peel quilt. After I turn out my peel shape, I trim away all but about 5/8” of the interfacing before pressing the shape to the square (sometimes called the “windowing’ technique for appliqué, usually done to reduce bulk). I find this lessens the overall stiffness of my quilt top. It looks fabulous in these latest Kaffe Fassett fabrics.

Beautiful quilt. Honestly, I think if you didn’t cut the 10” square into four pieces, and you laid all the orange peels going in the same slant, I think you could get six out of one 10” square! I haven’t tried it, but I think it might work. Then you could make a bigger quilt. Also, I was thinking that if you took a little circle and put it right in the center of those four petals it would make a flower! 🌼

No such luck. The peel shape is too big to get more than four out of one 10” square 🙂

@susanmei9980 Жыл бұрын

@@HRHDMKYT Thanks for checking that out! I wasn’t able to dig out my template until now, and as you found, it’s too chunky to get six. But by drawing on the cardboard that came on a ten sq pack, I figured out a way to get five!. So in the top row, point the top of both footballs to the center. Then in the bottom row, Point the tops of both footballs out to the center sides of the square; having the bottoms of the footballs pointing to the center of the bottom. (They sort of form a circle.) Then, there’s just enough room to squeak a fifth petal pointing straight up and down (or side to side)! 😁

@kathycronin8547 Жыл бұрын

Your quilt would be larger. Plus, if you bring the points of the orange peels together as close as they are in the pattern, you would have more space between the "stars" and the "circle" formed would have a gap in the middle. You cut your 10 inch square down a bit to compensate.
