Geometricks


Check out the quilt I recently competed.


I challenged myself to design and create a quilt using the four small geometric patterns from CSDs' yellow and lavender color palette. The quilt features triangular shapes, both in the piecing and the quilting.


For the quilting, I relied heavily on different variations of Angela Walter’s Starburst Design technique, which I learned by taking her Dot-to-Dot Quilting, Craftsy class. The quilting design styles she teaches in her class were perfect for this piece.  For the first time, I found free motion quilting to be totally stress free and fun because I kept Angela's mantra, "close enough is good enough" in the back of my mind while working!
