This was a project that I did with my Thursday sewing group, starting in March of 2020. We each had different panels to work with but I knew the quilt shop had a Paris panel so I decided that would be what I’d use for my project. As it turned out I needed three panels and was very lucky that they had enough of them. In hindsight I could have made the project smaller but I didn’t know then what I know now. I used straight lines for the quilting but I didn’t get as much of a 3-D effect as I was hoping for.

Because I used three panels I had a few scraps left so I used them to piece the backing. This is as close as I’ll ever come to a reversible quilt and you might be fooled if not for the two Eiffel Towers.

This now hangs on the wall in the spare bedroom. The door is usually shut to that room but on the few times it is open I’ll feel like I’m back in Paris.

Here is the view of the Eiffel Tower from the apartment we stayed in while we were in Paris. A bit more industrial-looking than my interpretation.
