Early this summer, I finished up the group quilt that I had done with several women from Australia and one from New Zealand.
Once I had resized a few of the blocks…..
…..it was quick work to put these brightly colored blocks together…..
…..and then add a fun border…..
But, HOW was I going to quilt it!!
Because I couldn’t answer that question, it languished in the “work-in-progress” bin for the past 3 months!!
Since I was afraid that it was going to turn into a fully-fledged UFO, I decided that it was TIME to get it quilted!!
When I can’t figure out how to quilt something, I try to start with the first thing that I see……in this case, the diagonals in the yellow, green, and orange squares…..
Then, I was pretty sure that I wanted to add some arcs in the pink pinwheels…..
I accomplished these using one of Angela Walters new rulers called “Smiley”…..
I used the longer and gentler curve to quilt the long hypotenuse line…..
….and the shorter, curvier side for the 90-degree sides…..
But, NOW I was stumped……
Come back tomorrow to see my decisions!!!
