I decided to share with you some of what I have been working on this week. I have three projects going using solids.
I think solids can be challenging because there is not fabric pattern design to hide any flaws in quilting and piecing.
One of the things I am finding that I like about the "modern aesthetic" is how straight line quilting and spiral quilting play such an important role in the quilt design.
Nowadays I start thinking about how I will quilt a piece as soon as I start making the components -- and, sometimes, before I even cut out the first strips, etc.
This first piece I will show you is a quilt I am making for my grandson. I don't know if I will be able to quilt this one on my domestic machine or not. More about that in a later post.
The second one I am working on is a Gee's Bend style quilt. I am fairly certain I will quilt this one with straight line quilting and change thread color for each color section.
This last piece is my Modern BOM. I am a little behind. This is the last block. I have started sketches of the quilting. I plan to do a QAYG technique.

Maybe I will get a finish of one of these before too long.
