A new quilt




At the Piecemakers, the group that I mentioned in the violets post, we have just started to make a new quilt. Susan is one of our resident expert quilters and I am a very willing student. She brought in a sample block, made up of lights, mediums and dark values. This is a blue one, but the quilt will contain many colours. The fabric had been cut into small rectangles and pinned onto paper printed with sewing and cutting lines in triangles. It's a very interesting process, and I will do a step by step of this quilt's construction, week by week.
