It is that time of year when Monash University hosts their annual Computer Games Boot Camp over in their Clayton Campus, which means A LOT of going and not much quilting, as I play Chauffeur for DS#2. (900 kms since last Thursday morning with another 4 days to go, and no souvenirs to show for it - I am mighty tired.)
I was able to turn my QAYG Challenge piece for the Janome group into a quilt for an Aussie Hero and do something worthwhile with what would just end up as another quilt for the pile.
The challenge for me was to try a method that I had never done before and QAYG this Quilt without any sashing/joining fabrics.
It worked out OK, I don't think I will bother with doing it this way again, unless I had a lot of left over batting to use up, as I think it was just as long to quilt as the conventional way.
The block, for those of you who may be interested
was a 12" block called 'Squares upon Squares' and you can find it at www.quilterscache.com/S/SquaresUponSquaresBlock
Driving kids around is so time consuming and exhausting but soon they will be driving themselves, and you will miss that a bit LOL. Love your quilt, have never done AQAYG. The pattern is interesting., thanks for the ,link.
ReplyDeleteNothing like "Mum's Taxi Service" to get around! ;) I have to thank you for the link - I'm looking at some of the other squares as I've tentatively decided I'd like to make a quilt. I haven't got much of an idea, since the last time I quilted was aged 9 in a very conservative Christian primary school, but I enjoyed then so I figure why not now?
ReplyDeleteI might have to ask you for some tips though...Figured you and your fantastic DD won't mind too much :D
