The last couple of months I've been busily finishing my little quilt for the Bulloch Hall Quilt Guild challenge. The theme this year was "Don't worry, be happy." The quilt had to be 20 inches square, and include "sunny" yellow. Here is my interpretation:
I used a new technique I read about in the September issue of American Quilter. The whole design was printed on freezer paper (the kind that is ready cut for the printer, another :) ), then each piece is cut apart, ironed onto fabric and then reassembled. You then stitch between the pieces of freezer paper, remove all the paper, trim the exposed seams and couch cording onto the seams. I didn't realize the technique is not really suited for small pieces, so the quilting took forever, but I really like the end result.
