::Hit the Spot Finished!::

February 10, 2011 By Katie

Straight from the dryer in its crinklie goodness is Hit the Spot.

Three must be the lucky number, because that’s how many times I starting quilting it and then spent some time with the seam ripper.

I finally settled on this little square as a starting point and went round and round without worrying about straight lines so much.

The whole quilt is made with leftovers.  Some strip piecing and past binding discards,

and blocks made as samples for a past bee.

The background all pulled from my neutral scrap bin.  I probably should have gone with darker thread.  I had no clue how much the quilting would sink into the flannel bits.  Hit the Spot has linen, Kona, flannel and regular print quilting cottons.  I learned a bit about quilting with such a variety of different textured fabrics…no consistent stitch length.  I’m not winning any shows for sure.

It’s now up as a sample for my Improvisational Quilting Class come March.

——————————

I started my Destash finally.  There are the Boys Squares (see this post) available again and you don’t have to bid!  I have a few sets so let me know if I need to relist.  Things have been moving out already without me even mentioning it here.  I’ll continue through the week.

    I love the look of this quilt! I bet using up your scraps was a great feeling 🙂

      Yes, it does feel good. I likely could make a quilt that would likely hug the world with just my scraps.

    Katie! I’m totally enamored of this quilt. It is so simple and so pleasing to the eye. I think you’ve helped me figure out a quilt conundrum I’ve been facing. THANK YOU!

    I love improv quilts. Can’t do them myself! Wish Seattle were closer to Connecticut (your class). Thanks for all the pictures, details.

    This quilt speaks to me in every way, Katie. The scrappiness, your use of solids, the colors. I love it!

    Katie? I would like to buy Tradition with a Twist. I will be in your class next Wednesday if you just want to bring it rather than mail it. Let me know.
