Looking through The Modern Quilt Guild Blog today I discovered that the Madrona Road Challenge deadline is the end of January - even though our guild website says end of March. I thought I had better get back into the sewing room.
I started this a few weeks ago - challenging myself to curved flying geese as I also wanted to try and use bias strips, pieced on a curve, rather than cut each curve individually. One of the reasons for this was limited fabric. Both worked I think...
Close up of fussy cut geese
Almost all of the piece - quilted - not yet bound
The concept behind the design for this piece is "know where you have come from, travel and find yourself". I think I will title this "Fly Out".
Not sure if I need to do any more quilting on this? I think it is busy enough! Your thoughts please?
Linking up with Lee from Freshly Pieced - thank you Lee for hosting.
Very nice job on the curved piecing and overall visual effect! I particularly like how the flying geese burst free from the confines of flying in formation and head out into open space.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I like the little geese on the side too.
ReplyDeleteI think the quilting is lovely. The pattern you chose for the quilting accents everything so nicely!
Sorry to hear you have been sick, I hope you are feeling better!
