In my last entry I mentioned I had at last, time to try some Spiral quilt designs from a book I got at Christmas. This I have been doing for the last couple of weeks in between other domestic doings.
I really am having to push my boundaries with this! Of course I plunge into it with gay abandon thinking this will be a dawdle-------not so ! Some of my efforts above. I am not going to let this beat me as I hope to use the method in a quilt I have in mind.
I will try again using EQ to aid the design, and am going to try out various foundation papers to see just which ones I like. I will also curb my enthusiam for a complicated design at this stage and go for something simpler! So it is "practice, practice, practice". You really have to keep concentration at the optimum not to add the wrong colour to a spiral---don't ask how I know, but suffice to say there has been a lot of cursing and ripping out in this house :-)
The garden has taken a check with this sudden really cold snap, and so we will leave it to come -to before tackling it again.
I am also about to finish the March quiltlette for the BQL challenge which I will do this weekend.
