In January, I am doing a presentation to the Lafayette County Quilting Guild (those Sew 'n Sews!) on paper piecing. Because I used that technique with the Four Winds quilt, I have not ripped off the paper on the back of that quilt yet. I want to use that quilt top in my demonstration. That means, it's not sandwiched, and not quilted and no binding on yet. But I can't work on it again until after my presentation! Hmmm. What's a girl to do??? Start another quilt, that's what!
And so, let me introduce you to Indigo and Lace:
I saw this quilt at the Madison Expo in a shop selling quilting kits. I was impressed with this quilt, and so I bought a kit, and now have time to do it. Oh, did I mention this Quilt Expo was in Fall of 2012?? !! Ha! I have been one busy girl, cranking out quilts left and right!
It looks like a complicated quilt, but here's the beauty of it: It's a panel quilt! I have 5 panels to make this quilt. Each panel is cut in quarters and can be rearranged in several different ways. I am making the large quilt shown above. It'll be 104 x 104 when finished. The quilting brings this quilt to life, sewing on those curved triangles makes them pop, and each one looks like it was sewn in individually!!! I loved that look! It looked pieced, but was just quilted that way! Beautiful! Right now I am working on those sashing strips. thin pieced strip sets. Tedious. The fun part of this quilt will be the quilting. Can't wait to get that far!
