My friend is teaching a class at my local quilt shop and I decided to play along. The class is based on Gail Garber's book Flying Colors: Design Quilts with Freeform Shapes and Flying Geese. The first session was two Saturdays ago and the final session will be this coming Saturday. Our homework for the two-week period was to finish the paper-pieced units. We each drew our own quilt design and my design is based on a leaf and includes not only paper-pieced geese, but paper-pieced spikes too.
I think I have some fabrics picked out for the remaining areas of the quilt. This quilt will measure around 18 to 20" in size when done. It's very exciting to see a design like this, that you've created yourself, come to life.
Oh, wow! Love the design & love the colors!
ReplyDeleteStunning! This would almost persuade me to paper piece. yikes!
ReplyDeleteLove it, Terri! Can't wait to see more!

ReplyDeleteOoooh I LOVE this. I have just been looking at some pictures of the venus fly trap plant as part of my city and guilds course and this kind of reminds me of one of those with the open jaws and spikes :)
ReplyDeleteTerri! This is spectacular! Can't wait to see your finished quilt! And thanks for the book recommendation.
