First UFO finish - Back yard musings
About 2 years ago I took a Sherry Lynn Wood class with my local modern quilt guild. It was a kind of create as you go starting block and see where it takes you. No plans. I took to class several old shirts, some kind of white tablecloth with birds on it and some interesting red sort of Asian inspired fabric with gold highlights. I started with the curved pieces in the near center making quarter curves. The striped fabric evolved and many of the shapes that worked their way around this piece that sort of looks like my back window. I let these shapes dictate the outer edge which ended up kind of wavy. The gray fabric is some kind of light weight pant fabric. I ended up making a 2" bias out of a pant leg and was so surprised how well it went on. Even in the corners which are not square at all. It lays really smooth all around. I think I need to block it yet because the quilting makes it more puckered than I like. I call it back yard musings because I often watch out the back wind
