See: Blog Story about this quilt.
Back the the = Sewing Arts Center, this time for a quilting class with Susan. It was a= n ambitious class with lots of "homework." In five weeks we were = supposed to emerge with a fully done quilt. As you can see by the dates, I = went a little long.
During my six weeks, I managed to cut, burn, and freeze my quilters thum= b, so I blame my speed on that. Quilting is a marathon to any of my other s= ewing projects races. Second, quilting is more about cutting and ironing, c= ompared to that, there is hardly any sewing at all. Cutting and ironing are= also very dangerous to my thumb.
We used a simple pattern that offered a lot of variety for choosing and = arranging fabrics, so even though you have a whole class using the same pat= tern, they all looked remarkably different. In the class we learned the bas= ics of quilting and a lot of practical tipes on types of fabric, how to kee= p is straight, ways to fudge our mistakes, and how to keep organized.
If you have an OCD streak that just isn't getting enough attention, quil= ting is certainly for you.
