I'm basically using the book as a way to get started and the farther along I get with the quilt, the less I'm using the book. I figure it's a good beginning but also allows me to use other techniques and go about it in a more improvisational way. <br /><br />Glen, I hope you have a copy. Once you're fully recovered, you should pull it out and enjoy a good read. I could always loan my copy to you. Or even better, we could get together for a make-it-up-as-we-go Cindy Griselda workshop. Wouldn't that be fun!<br /><br />Thanks, Miss Dresden! I like different types of quilting, too. And I get bored quickly so this is a happy marriage!<br />Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488509327040465359.post-35654789654166571892016-11-28T13:41:11.253-06:002016-11-28T13:41:11.253-06:00I think it looks fabulous.

The fact that you have used the tiny bits in with your hot colours and those little accents in the binding make it all seem very deliberate and coherent. Someone else has mentioned this book but you're the first one I've come across so far who's actually working from it.Kajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417544341324291385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488509327040465359.post-64515233995113410352016-11-25T22:10:39.924-06:002016-11-25T22:10:39.924-06:00Thanks, Karen.

And i like all the different quilting you have done in the sections.<br />I think it has all worked well!Karen Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465309380323203551noreply@blogger.com
