.. has been mainly samples for the new Quilters Guild Modern Specialist Group Tutor Boxes. an Idea Helen Howes and I have been working on for some time. Small quilt samples, nicely finished, with a copiable worksheet that groups can hire for the cost of the postage rather than hiring in a teacher and paying a small fortune in travelling costs.
Here is an Eccentric Crosses Sample nicely made with a flange binding and matchstick quilting:

I so much admired these quilts at the FoQ. The eccentric crosses I don't think was there or I missed it. Love the colour choices on all of them but the combination of the eccentric crosses particularly unusual but effective.
ReplyDeleteWell the Eccentric crosses sample, and the x & + blocks are new ones, so I didn't have them at FOQ. There was such a loto f interest I thought we are maybe going to need more...
