Not much quilting time for me this week, just work, fun travel and a couple days under the weather.
Still slowly working on
Esther's block using back basting. A couple more evenings of TV and I should have this one done.
And I got sidetracked designing a beginners sampler quilt. A couple of the lady riders from the motorcycle club were talking this weekend about taking a quilting class. I told them that was a silly idea since I'd teach them. I put together several blocks that look hard but are actually easy. The missing 3 blocks will either be paper piecing, applique and curved piecing or 3 more 9-patch variations depending upon their confidence levels at that point.
Now I'm off to Work on Wed...
Love your little bird. :) And how nice of you (and fun) to set up lessons for the bike ladies!
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colours you're using. It's so inspiring to see the blocks made by different people.

That is a great idea making a sample quilt for beginners. Good luck with this project, would love to see each quilt ones they're finish.
ReplyDeleteThe block looks wonderful, I love your bright bird. Can't wait to see your finished quilt!!
ReplyDeleteThe sample quilt is a good idea too..
look out...I think piecing is growing on you, Marjorie!! Your project will be a blast for your students.
