And then there were Two
My second quilt was also a gift. In fact, I have kept only one quilt I have finished and that one was a mistake. More about that in a later post. This was my first string quilt and while making it I learned the value of playing around with layout before sewing a flimsy. It wasn't as easy as I expected! I tried for an overall balanced look, and tried my hand at sashing.
I also learned that I usually have an idea in mind before I start. Is this a good or a bad thing? I'm not sure right now because I am currently trying to do more exploring with less "have to do it this way" and I'm working my way into "playing" with single blocks to go where it takes me.
