Ok, what am I working on this lovely Thursday?? First off, I am taking yet another class from Jean Shute, a machine quilter whose work I respect. It is a class about color, but knowing Jean, she will make it more of an art quilt class. Here is my first homework:
On the quilting front, I am working on Virginia’s quilt, a cute little heart quilt made using a Buggy Barn pattern:
As you can see, I’m freehand stitching a heart sashing, quilting the heart shape a similar way, and then using a swirly fill for the background of each block. In the last border, I’m doing a freeform design incorporating hearts.
This quilt is done completely freehand- that is to say I am using no marking, no stencils, nada. My goal is to finish this today.
Enjoy your day, too! Hugs, Carla

Look at your fancy color wheel! I lvoe the stitching on the heart quilt. That one looks like it is jsut a lot of fun to do. Very happy quilt!
Is freehand like flying without a chute? Looks lovely.
I knew I shoulda taken the class! LOL
Sweet hearts::)
I love the Buggy barn hearts. I’ve done one that was really bright! hot! colors.
And the class isn’t just about color…it’s called Color and Design. LOL
Love the color wheel and the hearts are so cute…the quilting really works well with it.

I love the heart quilt and saved it to my favorites. Your color wheel looks great.
I wish my homework was this colorful when I was in school.
