Updates on Sewing Up My Fabric!

Since I originally posted my description of this blog, I have somewhat erred from my intention. I have actually bought much more fabric than I had but ................. in my defense, I got the solids at 50% off and the quilt shop fabric at 75% off, so that doesn't count, right? LOL

Liberated Piecing, Wild Quilting and Divide and Conquer

Liberated Piecing Mystery
 Cindy Carter hosted a liberated piecing mystery. This is my completed top.
I figured if the quilt was liberated, then I should continue on with wild quilting!

 My quilting was inspired by two Craftsy Classes
I know that the quilting would have looked better in a matching thread but I was feeling pretty wild and wanted to get bold.  I am glad that I used the black thread for quilting because it really helps me to see where I need to improve and by trying to incorporate so many designs in this quilt, I got a better feel of what I think my personal style will be.  
Wild Quilting
















I figured this was a good quilt to practice my wild quilting which was inspired by Christina Cameli's Craftsy Class.

Divide & Conquer
I also incorporated some techniques of Lori Kennedy's Craftsy Class.

Play With Me QAL

Hex Game
The game boards have been quite interesting to see and make.  
Each month, Alida gives a brief history of each game.  This particular game was reinvented by John Nash. 
 I don't think I will ever learn how to play this game!LOL
I am linking up to the website where all of the participants' game boards can be viewed.  Click here.

RSC16 -Teal is the June Color of the Month

RSC16 Column Quilt

I haven't joined my columns yet because I am not sure of the layout. 
I love the teals, but I always seem to be anxious to see the next color! 
The teals look nice on everyone's linky too.  I guess I must like teal. LOL

The link to the RSC16 QAL is on the right column of this blog. 
 Thank you Angela for your hard work.  I know how hard it must be to juggle family, work, and this QAL.
