The thing about sewing is that a little here and a little there and sooner or later you have a quilt!
This one isn't done, but I sure did get a nice start and had so much fun again. Can't say enough good stuff about Gwen's class.
This photo was taken by Jessica (of jmbmommy) who was in the class too. It was such fun to meet another liberated quilting blogger! Below is the piece that Jessica was working on.
I absolutely love working with solids now. I think it's due to the liberated style. I first became interested in quilts because of Amish quilts, but have only made one little wallhanging in an Amish style. I do love how the absence of pattern in the fabric can lead to such clear pattern in the piecing. I'm really happy with my piece. I've included some others from the class. They were all so unique and wonderful. Enjoy!
Looks awesome!
and looks like your just having so much fun!
can't wait to see more

Eeeek!! Any superlative adjectives I can think of just seem too weak for your quilt top, Kristin. I am absolutely hyperventilating here.

You should be so proud of yourself. I literally gasped when I saw what you created. It's wonderful!

Fun, fun, fun. I'm amazed at how different all the quilts are. Don't forget that the hand quilting shows up so much better on solids - another great reason to use them.

Thanks for taking time out to take pictures during your classes. I know it would be hard for me to stop and use the camera if I were in your place! It all looks so fabulous!
