Buffy: Improv Quilt

Started in Gwen Marston workshop last spring, and finished at a quilt retreat with friends in late summer.  Solids plus scraps.  Finished with facing technique featured in JOURNEY TO INSPIRED ART QUILTING by Jean Wells.  Followed advice from Cindy Needham to quilt "every stinking seam", which really works to keep quilt flat.  Used Madeira Monopoly for ditch work, and it really disappears.

  1. Hey Buffy, I like this quilt a lot!!! The contrast of the plaids and solids is really effective, makes it really interesting. And I love the clam shell quilting it adds great texture to the solids!
