I have always been a fan of M.C. Escher's work. It's fascinating to me to try and figure out his optical illusions and to see how he starts with one object and ends up with something completely different. His Geometries are even more intriguing to me. When I saw this pattern AND saw it made from Kaffe fabrics, it was a win/win for me. Cutting all of the pieces took some time. The fabrics had to be organized into light/medium/dark sets and then cut into strips. The strips were subcut into parallelogram shaped pieces. And the sewing began. And the ripping came shortly there after. After much sewing and not as much ripping (thank goodness!), the blocks are finished! Two different blocks were needed to complete the design... a left facing triangle and a right facing triangle. Once all of the triangles are made, the pattern gives very good directions on placing them in the right order so you end up with this! I could never design something like this, but I can follow directions! Blocks will be cut in half to fill in the top and bottom areas. These blocks aren't sewn into rows yet. It's going to be a slow process, too, to make sure they stay in the right order. This is one of the coolest patterns I've used. The link to the pattern has one made in black, white and red, too. I might have to make another one at some point, but need to finish this one first. Happy Quilting!

Happy Needle and Thread Thursday, y'all. Well, my quilts, manuscript, and other materials for my book have been shipped out to Martingale, and it feels like a huge weight has been lifted right off my shoulders. Though I'm sure I'll have plenty of contact with my editor and some revisions to do before the book is released next spring, I'll be getting much more sewing time now that the big push is over. Woohoo! After all of that work, I needed some fast, fresh inspiration. Anna Maria Horner to the rescue! I've been hoarding AMH prints for the past several months for an eventual king size quilt for my bed. By hoarding, I mean that I have amassed 120 different fat quarters (umm, that's 30 yards of fabric- yikes!), and though I am not quite ready to tackle a giant quilt right now, I couldn't help but cut into several of them. This quilt is my Folk Dance pattern, designed to look like bright, twirling skirts, and it took just over a fat eighth of 25 different prints (including a couple of Amy Butler fabrics for good measure). I sold my original Folk Dance quilt before I began teaching quilt classes and presenting trunk shows, so a remake was in order, and these prints were the perfect choice for a celebration quilt. It also occurred to me that I never got the chance to share this fun mini with you here. My guild organizes a couple of swaps each year, each with different themes, and they are always SO fun! The theme for this particular swap was Savvy Solids. This mini has 24 different solids and each strip only measures 3/4" wide, making the entire mini 18 inches square. Most are Kona colors, but there are a few Moda Bella solids, and even a couple of Cloud 9 Cirrus solids as well. I quilted it very densely and matched the thread as closely as possible to each solid. It's hard to tell in the picture, but the thread actually makes its own soft rainbow in the background. I love this little mini so much that I almost kept it for myself (and I definitely plan to make a second one someday), but it makes me happy to know that the recipient truly loves it. Don't feel sad for me though, because the swap mini I received flat-out rocks! I was lucky enough to receive this mini made by prolific modern art quilter Paula Kovarik, who is also a member of our guild. So, let's get down to the eye-candy from last week's party! This improv sampler from Diann at Little Penguin Quilts is awesome! Just look at this fantastic mini created by Lori at Crossquilt. Lori is one of my guild friends, and I always love getting to see her projects in person. Check out the Grape Fizz quilt from Michelle at From Bolt to Beauty. It's gorgeous, and the addition of the single print amongst the solids is a great design choice. And I just can't help but share this improv quilt with stunning quilting by Mary at Fleur de Lis Quilts. Be sure to check out her post for close-ups of the quilting. Wow, friends! I am floored by your amazing work week after week. This week, it was particularly difficult to choose features. I hope you're having lots of fun in your sewing space this week, too. Let's link up! 1. You can link finished projects or WIP's , but just keep it about quilting and sewing! 2. Link to your specific post (not to your home page!) to make it easier for others. 3. Please remember to spread the word and post my button or a text link. 4. Spread the comment love far and wide! 5. Following me is not a requirement to link, but is so very appreciated! *If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop" when selecting your thumbnail photo. For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work! :)
