A Quilting Summer 2012

Over the summer, I spent a lot of time getting my quilt blocks all cut up and ready to go.  I even started sewing the blocks together!  Basically I lucked out and had an entire room to myself with enough space for a design wall, sewing machine, and a little ironing station... pretty sweet digs.

Previously in the blog, I've posted pictures of my quilt in progress with a target theme going on.  Well, this might have been what the pattern called for in the book, in actuality with my hand dyed fabrics this pattern just did not pan out aesthetically.  In the end, I packed it all up and sent it home for a couple of weeks just to my thoughts settle.  Thankfully my quilter's get-a-way is mid September so I could reorganize all of the blocks on my design wall with all of the support and opinions of about 30 quilters ranging between 40-90years old give or take.  So I was the youngest by far, which is hilarious because this is my third time going to the get-a-way!

Anyway, out at this 3 day Quilters' Get-A-Way in the middle of nowhere (aka no internet or cell reception), we quilted day and night.  A couple of the younger crowd and I worked from 8am to 3am every day; it was intense.  Thus, my newly organized quilt was born!!  Dadadadaaaaa!
