I took a guild class with Peggy Martin, Quick Paper Piecing Feathered Star and I've been working to finish one quilt for a guild challenge.

I haven't quite finished the binding, but I'll have it ready for the next guild meeting. I used the floral fabric to pull my coordinates, then fussy
cut it for the center. Rather than quilt a design in the setting triangles,
I quilted around all the black. It needs more, but I'm not sure how
far to go. I'm taking a class next week on Thread Painting, so I think
I'll take it with me and discuss it with the instructor. Other than
the foundation quilting there's not much quilting in this quilt. |

I introduced this quilt in my last post - but now it's quilted.
The guild challenge was to use only solids - fabric and thread. I couldn't decide on what to do and then while cleaning/organizing the studio, I found an old class project. I was about to throw it away knowing I'd never finish it when I realized - it was all solid fabrics! Sooo ..... I cut it into half-square triangles, put with black, and went to the design wall. I originally planned to quilt feathers in all the black, but decided on lines instead. I used a stencil I had in my drawer - equilateral triangles with fill lines. I still need to do the black around the center. I held off to think about what I wanted to do. I'm going to add more lines. I'm excited - this challenge is not due until November and I'm finished!! |
Thanks for checking in.
The flowers pop out of the setting triangles by quilting just in the black. I really love that quilt. All ready for spring. And you created a very modern quilt! Glad you recycled an old project. This has been a great year for you in getting things done. So impressed.
