I had been making a number of lap and bed quilts and decided it was time to go smaller for a while. Somehow I thought that a smaller piece would mean that it would take less time to actually get the piece completed. Read on.
I initially saw this pattern displayed as a
seminar sample at a quilt shop. Intrigued by how the curved pieces
were created, I registered for the class.
Fabric selection was a challenge.
The sample was done in a wine tone but I preferred an
autumnal palette. The 2-day class also
called for a considerable amount of homework, especially the curves.
The top was finished inthe class in 2003 but the sandwiching,
quilting and binding were finally completed in October 2006. Three years to do a wall hanging. I guess I got tired of all those curves and
decided that I needed a break. So much for getting it done in less time.
I was going to donate it, most likely to a
senior center or hospice, but have decided to hang it at home for a while.
