The Positive in the Negative
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.
Diving In
I am diving in and putting what I learned and practiced on to an actual customer quilt. Ooooh, nerve racking! It feels good, though. I feel good about it. I hope to have Lee’s quilt ready for her by the end of the week.
Bring on those negative space quilts, ladies. I ready for them!
Free Motion
Free motion scares me. To think about starting on a custom quilt makes me so nervous and I tend to put them off. I have a few custom quilts I need to get done, so tonight a put a yard of flannel I had on the frame and started practicing what I think I want to put on the next quilt I have to do. I don’t know why I get so scared. This makes me happy. Really happy! I learned this technique in the Quilting Negative Space class I took with Angela Walter’s at QuiltCon. It was by far one of my favorite designs I learned from her.
