The Glaciers of the Inside Passage Quilt by Lisa Moore of Quilts With a Twist is a breathtaking tribute to Alaska’s majestic coastal landscapes. Inspired by the serene beauty of the Inside Passage, this quilt captures the essence of icy blue waters, towering glaciers, and rugged mountain peaks. Measuring approximately 50" x 70", the design employs a unique curved piecing technique that mimics the natural undulations of glacial formations, creating a dynamic and flowing visual effect.

Central to the quilt's allure is its use of fabrics from McKenna Ryan’s designs for Hoffman California Fabrics. These fabrics, known for their rich textures and vibrant hues, perfectly complement the quilt's theme, enhancing its depth and realism. The pattern thoughtfully incorporates a variety of fabrics, including light blue with dots, purple pine, Queen Anne’s lace, dark blue with dots, blue aurora, mountain flowers, and blue/green aurora, culminating in a harmonious blend that reflects the diverse palette of the Alaskan wilderness. 

Lisa Moore's design is not only visually stunning but also accessible to quilters seeking to explore curved piecing. The pattern provides clear instructions and cutting diagrams, guiding quilters through the process of assembling the quilt's intricate layout. The overlapping columns and carefully planned fabric placements result in a cohesive and captivating composition that showcases the designer's attention to detail and artistic vision.
