Image
"Dapple"  43" x 43" Improvisational piecing  Blogger's Quilt Festival is happening now. I was motivated to enter one wall hanging and now I am going to go ahead and enter another favorite for this year.  This was a score from the Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters by Sherri Lynn Wood. I started this project at a sew day with several other members of my local quilt group. It just was so fun to do. "Literally floating squares"  - I had to say it ...again! My original post is  HERE Spiral Quilting using and walking foot and Aurifil thread.  The last of my IKEA fabric! Love that building but it was so bright and I was in the bushes...haha Oh well what we do for our love of quilts! I am entering this one into the MODERN Quilt category!

Blogger's Quilt Festival Time - He Said, She Said

I am so excited. I missed out on entering in the Blogger's Quilt Festival last time and want to make it in this year.  I am entering in my recent finish "He Said, She Said" because I made if for me and I love it so much!!  "He Said, She Said" Love 24"x 24"approx. This has 28 shades of grey newsprint/fabric and 1 piece of green fabric that is variegated.  This is the second time I made up this pattern by Liz Havertine from the LA Modern Quilt Guild. I just love it so much I know I will make it again but maybe bigger? I entered this little one into my local guilds "Shades of Grey" challenge.  Matchstick quilting with 6 shades of thread I had some fun taking photos at this old building that used to have a complete sign for Best Flour on it. So fun to get out and see things in the neighborhood. So thankful many people let me crawl in their bushes to get some photos!  haha You can see my original post  HERE
