The sign of a great class and a great teacher is when you actually learn something. I did. Thanks Tonya and thanks classmates! Your support has made all the difference.
I'm pretty happy to go find the perfect wall to display it.

Bloom is Blooming!
My project for the class is complete. Bloom. I struggled with the quilting and have ripped it out twice, but that's ok. First I tried free motion flowers (really took away from the composition of the piece), then I tried echo quilting. Very honestly I got lost in the echoes and couldn't fill the white space in a way that added to the piece. I did this with a setting on my mom's machine. It required a bit of ripping too, but once I got the hang of it, it went pretty well. I love the texture that it provides without distracting from the nifty free piecing.

I love the texture too....it looks so cool. I think I have that stitch. Great project! Even better now that it is done.
OMG Jacquie! I love the quilting!
very fun, and yes, lots of texture. I'd love to see what this looks like hanging up - have so enjoyed previous pics of your place.
Incredible! Very inventive - it truly is a work of art. Great job!
