A little progress at last!



I'm not sure what step I'm up to, but I've had fun today playing with my round robin. This is my first attempt at liberated letters and I'm quite happy with them. Thanks Nancie for all the hints I found in your previous posts about this.


I'm thinking of filling the gap under the letters with strings and then maybe making a border all round with the green batik. Then I'll face the curves!

I've made a start


Being new to liberated quilting, it's taken me a while to pluck up the courage to start this project! But when I found this block last week, I thought it had potential and put it up on my design wall. Today I decided that it was time to bite the bullet and play.

The block is from an applique class I did at a Quilt Expo in The Hague just after I first started patchwork. It is one of three or four blocks I brought home but I didn't have the confidence to take it any further. I still have to stitch the small dugong, but that will have to wait until I can buy some matching thread. I forgot to take a photo of the original block before I started playing with it, but it was just the dugongs with blue and yellow border pieces, which I've cut down a bit. The rest of the fabrics came from my drawer of leftover scraps.

There are very few triangles really, but I'm satisfied with it so far because it feels triangular.
