Oh Bronnie, what a fantastic quilt.
You would know how much I would admire it!
I had a quick look at the rest of the page, to remind myself of some of
my favourites. The variety of your work is amazing. I couldn't say
which style is most appealing to me - wish you lived next door g

The challenge on the Temecula Quilts Blog was to make one block a day

for the month of July. I started late so I'm a few blocks behind, but

I'll get there.



In August they are going to post a pattern to make something out of

those little blocks.



I can't imagine what it will be to use 31 blocks - that seems a strange

number.



What are you working on?

G'day Marcella and everyone.
I must apologise for not posting much on RCTQ of late, but those that know me, know I only finish a couple of quilts per year.
I have just this week finished the attached link quilt, but mentioned on RCTQ some time ago that I was struggling with a Drunkard's Path pattern from attending a workshop last year. A lot of blocks were impossible to size up and have the quarter circles match. I put it away for a few months, then worked out a design with sashing that almost made a feature of mismatched quarters. I then had to order more fabric for my idea.
My freemotion quilting on my Janome Horizon is slowly improving. Mid-project I changed to titanium needles and a Superior Thread Stand, the difference was astonishing.
The workshop tutor for learning the technique of insetting quarter circles was Kerry Glen of Tulis Textiles, New Zealand.

The next photo to this, shows the quilt on the wall. Looks quite dramatic!

Best regards to you all,

Thanks Pat! Lovely to 'chat'. It did take a long time to resolve the design issues of this quilt. My dear neighbour who is a quilter at guild reminded me yesterday that I was sick the second day of the workshop - I had forgotten that. It was probably that day we were schooled on sizing the blocks up correctly!
Fond regards
Bronnie

I forgot to mention the fabric maker for my quilt for those interested. I used only their range with the graduated color across the bolt.
It is DAIWABO Selection for E.E. Schenck Co.
