Here are the fabrics I chose for my Improv Quilt.
My friend, Denise, is teaching an Improv Class that she is calling Magic Numbers. From all of the fabrics I am cutting several squares and rectangles of "magic" sizes: 3 1/2 inch squares; 3 1/2" by 6 1/2" rectangles and 6 1/2" by 12 1/2" rectangles. After cutting these components I am using a design wall to "build" blocks.
This week's first blocks look like this:
Next week we are to start quilting them. She has suggested some free motion quilting. Hmmm, I am not sure about that. I really do like the straight line quilting on my modern quilts. Stay tuned.

ReplyDeleteGreetings from Finland! :)
Hugs, Ulla
Hugs back to you, Ulla! Glad you found the Frogpond and left a comment. Thank you.
DeleteFree motion? Bah! Follow your instincts, Sandi. Straight lines areI easy, contemporary, and they suit your design. (I gave up on fm a long time ago - too stressful for me:-)) Glad you've found my book an inspiration and you are lucky to have a great MQG nearby!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rayna, for your comment. I find fm awfully stressful. I am much better at straight lines. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
