25 Aug Finishing up

It’s funny that this post should follow my previous one about soft colors 🙂  This is some of my progress for the Ann Arbor/Chicago MQG mini swap.  My partner likes bright colors and improv – I wrote about beginning the project here.

I made some more blocks during the A2MQG retreat several weeks ago.  For the quilting, I chose one of the triangles and “drew” lines from the edge of each triangle across the other triangles and quilted parallel lines in different directions in each section.

I’m almost finished with the quilting and just have to decide what color to use for the binding. (I’ll share the full quilt on Friday). We’ll have show and tell at the A2MQG meeting on Wednesday and then the quilts will be sent off to the Chicago MQG.  We’ll receive ours back from them at our September meeting.

It is such fun trying to create a quilt that someone else will like, I tend to forget that I’ll be getting one in return 🙂  I can’t wait to see it!
