The Positive in the Negative

Posted on April 18, 2013 by ginabean • 5 Comments

 I finished longarm quilting Lee’s hand appliquéd Rainbow Rocks quilt this week. She handed this quilt over to me around the first of the year and graciously agreed to let me wait until I got back from my classes with Angela Walters at QuiltCon to quilt it. I finally worked up the nerve to suck it up and put what I learned down on a quilt. 
Lee’s quilt gave me the perfect opportunity to test my skills in negative space. 
The Rainbow Rocks pattern is designed by my good friend, Kathleen Baden, who took a second place ribbon at QuiltCon for her amazing hand quilted version.
