::Point A to Point B Quilt Top::

September 11, 2012 By Katie

I’m calling it Point A to Point B quilt top, not only because of the obvious, but changing directions is my usual mode of operation (or mode of procrastination).

I won’t even bother to show you were I started, but will say it stunk and I had to move forward or backward depending on how you look at it.  Some triangles were saved and others scrapped.  The verb “scrapped’ may be my new favorite.

My next point is I have a new class sample for my Improvisational Elongated Triangle Block Class.

This is good news, except I was really needing to get to work on this Magic Number quilt displayed with sleepy Jefe and TV transfixed small child as a sample for my Magic Number workshop that is offered first (a new coin quilt class sample wouldn’t hurt either).  As I’ve said, I sew much faster in my head than in real life.  There is still time I hope.  For now envision it all pieced and surrounded by that lipstick solid fabric.

Now hold that vision, because I need to get this pieced for Krista into some Osnaburg fabric background by Friday.  This quilt was the original reason for the making of the first quilt and procrastinating the second quilt and so on.  Thank goodness for procrastination or all that collaborating about fabric, quilting other quilts, drinking beer and laughing with Krista might never have happened.

Oh, and look what she sent me yesterday.  Drool.

    I love looking at your work, it’s stunning, but I also loved these photos of your family chilling out and oblivious while you’ve got this big creative hum going on around them. Loved it. I’m not a quilter but I’ve got other creative stuff going on and it’s just like that in my house. I think it makes for a cozy mix. Beautiful work. I love the modern feel of your work.

    I sew much faster in my head too. But I never procrastinate . . . never ever ever ever. Well maybe a little. Ok, a lot. Glad to know I have company : )
    Love your looong triangles.

    Point A to B looks wonderful, I love the quilting too. What colour have you used as your background? It looks great against the white outlining the triangles.

      The background is a utility fabric called Osnaburg. It is a cheap great alternative to linen and quilts lovely. Joanns has a cheap version, much better quality if you can find it at your local quilt shop or have them order it. It usually runs $5.99. Tell them Checker carries it.
