I was thrilled when my friend Jamie Fingal ask me to create something using her new fabric line, Autumn is for the Birds, from Hoffman Fabrics. I decided to use my favorite method of creating: free form piecing. When I create a quilt with this method I rarely plan anything out, other than perhaps a general size and a few elements. The problem with this method is that I often have to rearrange as I go. And sometimes I need to unpick - a LOT. I took a few photos as I went to help me get an idea of where things were going and then based upon those photos I added or changed. I put the photos together in a short power point so that you could see a little bit of my process. I apologize for the dark photos as my design wall is in a dark hallway but I think it still gives you a good idea of how things went. The final quilt is approximately 30"x 37". I love the focus fabrics! There are a lot of textures in all of the fabrics. Honestly, I could have quilted

I voted in spite of the fact that it is moronic for me to do so. Only a complete and total imbecile will do something knowing full well that there is no purpose or value in it. I AM.
Dia says it best, "If voting made a difference, do you think they would let us do it?"
