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:

that is a cute pattern!
This is adorable! The quilting is perfect and that picture just made me smile. 😊
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.
Haha!!! Love the “O” Parking!!! Cute baby quilt!!! Love the quilting!
This is a very cute pattern. The quilting is perfect. Nice job, Lime green was a great choice.
Yay! It turned out so good! The quilting is such a great choice and really adds an extra boost to the design! Can’t wait to see your next one! 😉
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
What a sweet quilt. I love the quilting. Great choice for a design.
You did a great job of picking fabrics and executing this quilt! And Connie picked the perfect quilting design. Awesome work girls!
What a cute quilt….love the pattern! The quilting looks great she picked the perfect design! Have a great weekend!
What a fun version of Juggling Act! The quilting really sets off the design nicely.
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.
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?
Love your version What a happy feeling quilt.
You did an awesome job with this quilt Wendy. Your palette adds so much fun to the juggling act
This is so fun and the colors are fantastic! I can’t remember, is this your personal pattern?
Oh Wendy! I love the juggling act quilt and the quilting on it. That really complimented the quilt! Love all your posts and projects you work on. Great photo on the “0” parking. 😯👍
What a fun pattern!!! And you did a fantastic job with the quilting & fabric choices! 🙂
So modern and striking! I could see me making this pattern someday. Take care, Mary.
O Parking, ha ha! Very clever! Super cute quilt and I’ll bet Jayne’s instructions were easy to follow 🙂
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!
What a great quilt! I love the quilting but the “o parking” is perfect for this quilt. Great job all around, Wendy!
Hi,
Beautiful, love all the colors you used for this quilt.
Have a great day!
How cute and I love the quilting and the photo shoot!
Looks like you had plenty of fun with this one, from go to O. Love the colours and happy feel of this cut quilt, thanks for linking up with the Chameleon’s Colour & Inspiration party!
