Tuesday was
guild day and after the regular meeting, a member instructed us as we made a
potholder or trivet using the Cotton Theory quilting method. It has 2 good sides. Here is mine finished.
I have seen Betty Cotton demonstrate her techniques several
times on “Sewing with Nancy” and have wanted to try it. Now that I have, I don’t know that I will do
any more. I have a lot of respect for
the work that it took for Clara or anyone to make a full size bed quilt using
this method. It takes a tremendous
amount of preparation cutting the top and backing fabric pieces as well as the
batting pieces.
I’m making
progress on the floral pinwheel quilt.
I started laying out pinwheel blocks but my design wall is not large
enough. I thought about laying them on the floor but decided to use the guest bed as my design area instead. This gives you an idea.
I also tried grouping the colors but I think they should be
mixed up.
Update: Here are 36 blocks laid out on the guest bed. I will leave them for a couple of days so that I can look at them several times and see if I need to move some around.
