Had a wonderful time at Festival in Birmingham with Helen Howes setting up the Modern special interest group for the Quilters Guild. We had lots of interest and support, and friendly people who came to sit on our chairs so we could take short breaks and see some of the amazing exhibits.
I now have a head full of ideas and want to play with log cabins, but am resting under the cat.
Some interesting ones here... http://cauchycomplete.wordpress.com/

Without Pins is the title of my Patchwork classes. I am a Quilter, textile teacher and general fabric collector - or does it come and find me? I like to play with colour and subvert pattern by the use of tone. I have always sewn and stitch something, somewhere, every day.

Stacking Fabrics
I am teaching a log cabin class tomorrow and have been experimenting with stacking squares and cutting lots of blocks at once using wedge shapes. It should make a pattern of rather wobbly zigzags when I put it together.
Waste to be trimmed...
Might be interesting coloured as a Target or Bulls Eye maybe.
Of course I forgot that when you stitch all the bits back together you have quite a lot of waste to trim off, so my 10" squares trimmed down to a finished 6" size!
