it's actually for the class I'm attending at the moment, I decided I needed to do a class, being entirely self taught, so as I live opposite a JoAnns, their course made the most sense, the project this time is "Quilt Interupted" from Phenomenal Fat Quarter Quilts by M'Liss Rae Hawley. I actually think this quilt is too hard for a beginner class and too non traditional, it looks like you've done quarter square triangle blocks and set them diagonally with sashing, but it's actually a block composed of 2 triangles with a strip down the middle, stitching bias to grain. It's not massively difficult either, but doesn't really teach some desireable skills such as strip piecing, or quick/accurate triangle methods, I'm pretty bright and can follow instructions from a book pretty easily, so the class has given me a lot of confidence, and I have made another quilt along side the class quilt in the last couple of weeks, and feel I can move on to almost anything. I think a better class quilt would have been a sampler with some of the common blocks in it, so you could start with the basics then learn some shortcuts and so on.
Being slightly insane, I've decided to quilt this with gold thread! (It's logical, the fabrics are oriental red/green/blue, with gold detail).
I haven't taken a picture of it as I have no where to put a picture, any suggestions for good online photo albums, my parents are nagging me to put up some photos of the children!
